Most of the world understands.
And just what do they understand, their lives have been prostituted for,,,a drug induced society, a meal.. to provide as a single parent for her children, to give income to her family. to get out of the gutter of poverty, a woman sells her body in desperate times, the only thing she has left is to sell.
her body.
Some can grandiose it as a providing a need a service to society,, a form of delusion IMO. When a woman has nothing left but to sell her body, then she has reached desperation.
And this in one of the most wealthy states in the US. I think it is more an indication of the social and moral corruption of a society, where selling of a woman's body, to be used and abused in a sexual act. is looked upon as a form of normal practice,.
And you say the world understands, that is a very naive statement.
Do you understand?
And all this for a cheap trick...well I think the most high class prostitutes that ask for higher fees, regardless, high or low, they are also in danger of losing their lives, and being thrown in the gutter as a non person ...
It really does not make a difference, after all they are just hookers
The Willy Picton case in Vancouver comes to mind

I can understand why a mother hen bothers you, after all, I am free to wander, I can't imagine being constrained in a coup.
The original post was 5 words, which lead to a multiple sentence, 2 comment reply about how we all need to hold true to a higher ground of morality. Leave it at church where you can maintain your pious demeanor.
The real denigration here is spouting off like the subject matter - prostitution - can be solved and done away with. It is called the oldest profession for a reason. I'm not saying it is right, but unless you have a solution, you are part of the problem.
No matter one's opinion of prostitution, everything pushed underground makes the chances of abuse and harm rise exponentially. And since there has never been a law that has prevented any crime, and hardly deters it, regulation seems like a better alternative, and a cleaner / healthier one.
Many wives, and Joan, correct me as a man if I am wrong, no longer feel anything for their husbands, and some never did to begin with, but submit to their sexual demands so as to keep the car, and the jewelry, and the house, and the children, and all the other trappings of marriage. They are just contractual prostitutes, paid in cash and in kind for their services. This is reality. It has been so for thousands of years.
Making these business arrangements illegal simply turns them into sources of criminal revenue for exploitative psychopaths to profit from human misery - again. And again. And again. Every individual in a civilized society should have the right to property, and to buy and sell their property, and our most personal and inviolable property is our own body. If someone wants to buy it, why should that be "illegal?" If they just wanted to pay someone for the pleasure of their company, should that also be illegal? We pay money to listen to illustrious speakers, or to listen to singers and poets. Are they not selling themselves? Why should that be legal, and selling their bodies should be illegal?
Moreover, just as all business is licensed, and many professions require training, examinations, and certification, why should this not be the case with so-called "prostitution?" Would you go to an unlicensed nurse, or doctor, or investment consultant, or lawyer? Aren't you glad there are licensing bodies holding those professionals to legally enforced standards?
So-called prostitutes should be licensed, certified by psychological and physical inquiry, examined weekly by a doctor for STDs, trained to some degree in martial arts for self-protection, and their places of business inspected and regulated to standards of hygiene. This would eliminate an entire criminal subculture, reduce disease, and allow free enterprise, which is the God of the capitalist system we all worship. If this is what a woman wants to do, for whatever reasons - she may need the money, or she may just enjoy the company of men, as and when she chooses to do so - why should the Government interfere and intervene in her rights over her most precious personal property - her own body? (Or his, for that matter.) And the name should be changed from "prostitute" (which is something we all do - I also prostitute myself to my boss who is an asshole I despise, but just like the ladies of comfort, I do it for the money,) from "prostitute" to "sex worker."
Anybody else have a contrary opinion? Please speak up!
Yes LG, most of us prostitute ourselves on a daily basis...and mostly we are offered protection. Why it should not be so for sex workers is beyond me.
I understand that some women do like the excitement of sexual pleasure, I reminded of the wife of Claudius, Messlina, that made herself avalable to any Roman in the Forum that wanted to put it bluntly, screw her., but with anything nowadays, talking about Roman History, and depravity has been white washed (too close to home IMO)
As with Messlina, who enjoys being screwed by many men (well, maybe not) but is not averse to use her body as a business enterprise, their are some recent "Madams that come to mind

I think marital arts, should not be used in the same term as prostitution, Marriage in days gone back, in delving into history, was considered a sacred act.
As I have noted previously, for most women, young women, young men hanging on street corners, day and night, in all weathers, to use their body, for whatever means, for money is a desperate act.
Just my thoughts.
C'mon SOTT, you're better than that level of judgmentalism!!!

A safer environment and community outreach to these girls would be great. Some of them like their jobs, and some of them don't. It's really a case-by-case situation on how we can be more compassionate and helpful to these workers.
I met a pot dealer in Canada once and this guy used to liquefy methamphetamine to spray down marijuana buds with. He would start a new client on marijuana and after a short while, hoping the client has a subliminal taste for "something else" in the back of their mind, would offer that "something" else as so much better.
If the lure of liquidized methamphetamine had taken hold, the client would be natural curious without knowing what was really going on: Presto! Pig-shit got himself a new slave!
As soon as I figured out what that creep was doing, I gave him a scientific research documentary DVD providing evidence that certain chemicals in marijuana cure cancer: He never talked to me again after stomping away all bent out of shape.
