Let's just ignore all the women who want to do this work, to protect the few who didn't want to but felt like it was the only way to make ends meet.
But yes, I am sure people generally agree that the women who don't want to be sex workers should have other options (or be made aware of options).
- yters 9y agoEven if someone wants to do something, that doesn't mean it is good for them. We as a society should not incentivize people to do self harm, even if the person chooses the self harm. It is essentially incentivizing women to commit suicide.
- Freestyler_3 9y agoWhat isn't good for them? How do you get from sex to suicide? And how far can society go when dictating what a person can or can not do? People are allowed to smoke and drink. People have sex without payments happening too.
- yters 9y agoTo be a sex worker, a woman is having multiple sex partners per day. Her exposure to STDs, and abuse in general, is increased exponentially. That is essentially suicide.

As long as we force people to do unpleasant and potentially harmful jobs for a living, I don't see any reason to differentiate between oil-rig workers and prostitutes. By making it legal, prostitutes enjoy legal protection, health and social benefits. What's not to like?
- yters 9y agoCoal miners, oil rig workers, soldiers, policemen, firemen, doctors. These are all necessary jobs to make our society run. Prostitution is both unnecessary and destructive to all parties involved. Clear difference between the two categories.
- esarbe 9y agoSo say you. Obviously prostitution is a necessity, too. It's not called 'the oldest profession' for nothing. It serves a need, so it is a necessity.
- Freestyler_3 9y agocoal miners are necessary for society but prostitutes are not. I wonder which proffesion has been around longer.
- esarbe 9y agoFound this one interesting: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prostitution_among_animals https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prostitution_among_animals I guess it's not coal mining...
- Freestyler_3 9y agoNot many animals into coal mining according to wiki.
- verylittlemeat 9y agoThat's a pretty ridiculous statement. Prostitution is famously euphemised as the world's oldest profession. There are no objective truths in all of the moralizing anti-prostitution comments you're making in this thread. All of the virtues you're playing up are nothing more than your personal beliefs. Your read on history is selective and has been called out repeatedly for emphasizing the things you want to see while ignoring the facts you don't.
- Freestyler_3 9y ago-> To be a sex worker, a woman is having multiple sex partners per day. Her exposure to STDs, and abuse in general, is increased exponentially. That is essentially suicide. Life is essentially suicide in that aspect. Sex workers have the option to use condoms. There are tests, and most STDs are not lethal. Abuse is being enabled by making the business hide in shadows. edit: to who i was replying to the reply button was gone.
