Is prostitution wrong?

[McBell]

Someone's a little bitter. Did you want to tell them what thread and post numbers as well?

I would rather the person(s) making the claim support it.

But I am not going to hold my breath.

Physically more dangerous, I think you could argue. Prostitution involves things far more sensitive things than the body. A broken body can usually be mended, An emotionally broken person is not so easily fixed.

Many things can break a person emotionally.

and,
not every person is broken emotionally by the same things.

How is an arranged marriage any different than slavery?

Who's a slave to who?

 

[McBell]

Who's a slave to who?

Good question.
However, since back in those times the woman was seen as merely the property of the man...

 

[Sonic247]

I find it extremely interesting how some people try to blame the prostitute, even if only "partially", for the husbands decision to cheat on his wife.

I wonder why these people do not look at the fact that if there was no demand for prostitutes...

Next you will be saying that women should be completely covered from head to toe at all times less they tempt a weak husband, right?

If advertising didn't make people want things they would spend millions on it. Plus if you say that's my opinion I could just as easily say it's your opinion is that they should sit outside naked with there legs spread out. A guy can't help having a sex drive unless he resorts to extreme measures. Plus I say male should dress modestly too, it just so happens that there are more female prostitues than males. plus obviously it's the husbands fault but should there really be no blame to the accomplice of the crime.

Many women "provide it" because they are poor and feel they have no choice and nowhere else to turn. They loathe themselves and wish they didn't have to.......... So, yes - it's really wrong.

any suggestions as an alternative means of income for these women though?

Easy to say it is wrong, but so is cleaning the toilets at Mcdonalds for minimum wage.

 

[Sonic247]

It's an honest job.

 

[Watchmen]

Ok, for everyone saying "most" of these women loathe themselves -- can we start seeing some data on this please?

People say the same thing about strippers.

Neither I nor any of the other girls at my bar loathed it. I loved it, so did they.

I have no idea about prostitution, but I'm just saying, if we're going to be throwing around comments about "most" people loathing it maybe we need to start backing up our claims.

You're speaking from personal experience and so am I. Who's to say you're right and I'm wrong?

 

[Sonic247]

God obviously.

 

[Skwim]

God obviously.

Isn't that the same guy who said not to eat pork?

I never assigned the opinion to you.
Seems perhaps you have a guilty conscious?

I agree.
A guy cannot help having a sex drive.
What he can help, however, is where he puts his penis.

 

[McBell]

What is?
Cleaning the toilet at McDonald's, prostitution, or both?

Oh?
When were you a prostitute?

"Next you will be saying that women should be completely covered from head to toe at all times less they tempt a weak husband, right?" see- opinion assigned. Like I said it is his fault. But a prostitue is also going out of her way to make the temptation stronger.

No, that is asking a question.

Like I said it is his fault. But a prostitue is also going out of her way to make the temptation stronger.

So what?
She preys on weak men.
It still does not make it her fault that the man is weak.

 

[The Sum of Awe]

I don't think most prostitutes enjoy their occupations. For the most part it is desperation that leads a person into doing that. There is a lot of danger and abuse in that field and it is very unhealthy. Yes, I think it's a bad thing. I don't think the women are bad. I think it is sad that they are ever driven to it.

What if they were required tests for STD's first?

 

[The Sum of Awe]

Honestly I don't see the problem with it.

 

[Sonic247]

No, that is asking a question.

yeah right, well in that case I'll just go up to some guy on the street and say "hey there buddy, your going to beat your wife tonight right?" Then I'll see whether it's an accusation or not. Exactly like you said she preys on the weak so she's not blameless.

The thing is that she is not hurting anyone. If you have a problem with sex then it is your responsability to have the sufficient willpower to go without it until you find a viable partner (would that be a wife? I might be just taking you as an mainstream christian while maybe you are not, feel free to correct me)

She has every right to advertize her product (in this case, her body)

With properly regulated prostitution, the ilegal one where the poor women are exploited would be much less likely and the legal one would make many women have good honest money while using what God gave them.

I disagree with the not hurting anyone part, of course you can say they are hurting themselves. Either way someones getting hurt. It would be a wife for me.... Not a legal right.. I can see the logic for legalization, for this and for things like marijuana... but I'm not decided myself. Maybe laws should reflect certain principals even if they can't be enforced...
