What to do with prostitutes

Does it make a difference what their skin colour is?

I suspect so. A couple of telephone calls to your nearest "houses of ill-repute" should let you know what the going rates are for the various races. Of course, you need to account for looks and experience before you can isolate the effects of skin colour.

Am I wilfully misinterpreting your post? I hate it when I do that.

I am not saying that using their services is better, I am saying that your way would not work.
Just looking for insight.

That is changing the original question.
Question for debate.
Is it better to avail one’s self of the services of a prostitute to help them survive, or is there a better way.

My way is a better way but it won't solve the problems you are now bringing up.

The only real abuse of prostitutes in general is the way they are treated because what they do is condemed by the dominant religions. That is religion's forte; Creating a category of sin that allows its members to cluck their tongues at others who don't share their beliefs. It's fine for women to marry wealthy men without love, but "god forbid" the transaction be boiled down to its basic form as a cash for sex exchange.

Yes, I've often said that marrying for money is simply prostitution with a long-term contract.

The last thread of GIA's I saw he was throwing people of mixed ethnicity off a spaceship. I just wondered if this was going to turn out to be more of the same.

No insult meant but I have already heard some quick reversals of your comments.

"Reversals"? What?

Greatest I am said:
Not to insult but if your child is a dentist you would likely avail yourself of his or her services. Is your cavalier thinking saying that you wold avail yourself as easily if your child turned to prostitution.

What does this have to do with anything?

You say that you're looking for "insight", but your assumptions about prostitution are not held by all and are stifling discussion. Nor does it help that you haven't said more than a couple of lines in response to anyone.

He'd have a tough time. New prostitutes could just spring up.

And the robotic ones wouldn't be phased all that much.

What? Someone would lose a little skin and blood trying to throw me out of anything.

I perhaps could have better said "people of differing ethnicities". Further, you're on the short list of people I would get out of my chair to stop from being thrown off a spaceship, if that helps.

And one naturally wonders if your statement includes bed. Rowr. ;)

Gee, thanks. :blush:

That is assuming anyone would want to throw me out of their bed. :cool:


Just for the record, I agree with DR. The best thing to do with prostitutes is to leave them alone. If they want counseling or other types of job skills training, it should be made available, but not forced on anyone.
 
I think just like marijuana, we should legalize it and regulate it.

This greatly reduces the drug, pregnancy, disease, pimp, abuse, underage, etc. problems with prostitution.
 
I know a couple prostitutes who would take issue with your portrayal of them in that first post. It's not a good idea to assume that just because somebody ****s for money that it's because of some past child abuse. Could it be? Sure. Is it always? Not hardly.

The last statistics I saw showed 40% of prostitutes were abused in the home. Fathers only slightly less than stepfathers.

40% is a minority. So 60% of prostitutes were not abused, and yet became prostitutes anyway.

40% may be a minority, but it's probably still higher than the general population. Without seeing specific statistics it would be hard to determine whether there is a genuine correlation.

In particular, I'd like to see statistics on the percentage of, say, Catholic priests who were abused in the home. Or health care workers. Or general practicioners.

I feel that legalisation is the way to go. Not only would it give prostitutes better access to health care (which in many cases is desparately needed) but it would give them legitimacy, self-esteem, and better conditions, wages and awards.

There's obviously a societal need for prostitutes - there's a reason why it's known as "the oldest profession". Why stigmatise them for that?

A prostitute is essentially no different from any other laborer. They are exchanging the service of their minds and bodies for a wage. It is a virtue under most systems of morals to work hard for your pay. Unfortunately, under the dominant systems of morals, sex is a sin.

In fact, one might arguing that selling your mind for money is more prostitutive than selling your body for money.
