There is nothing wrong with prostitution other than the fact that it is illegal in some places. You are employing "the world's worst argument" to try to compare

There is nothing wrong with prostitution other than the fact that it is illegal in some places. You are employing "the world's worst argument" to try to compare a consensual act between two adults to murder. Proselytize elsewhere.

There is plenty wrong with prostitution. It is wrong to take advantage of a woman. Women become prostitutes because they have no other reasonable way of making money; or they need quick money for drugs/rent/baby food/etc. I may not be a religious person (since I became an adult) but I hold the belief that sex should be sacred. It should be kept between 2 people who want to connect with each other. We have sex with each other for intimacy, not just for a short burst of ecstasy. If that was the only reason we had sex with each other we'd be no better than dogs.

      That's the best you could do?

        I defended my stance and criticised your spelling in one sentence. I think that's pretty good.

  You don't like consensual group sex, either? (Not that you or I or anyone is under any obligation to engage in it. But there's nothing wrong with people who do so.) Or sex for one (instead of two).. Actually, dogs have a very different sexuality. They don't have sex all year round. Humans are special.

  > It is wrong to take advantage of a woman. Of course. But prostitution is consensual and it isn't just about "no other choice" - it just might be the most financially sound choice, or maybe they don't have inhibitions and sexual guilt after a religious upbringing. > Women become prostitutes because they have no other reasonable way of making money; or they need quick money for drugs/rent/baby food/etc. Those are the prostitutes you know about. This represents a tiny percentage of all the people in the world who have sex for money, directly or indirectly. > I may not be a religious person (since I became an adult) but I hold the belief that sex should be sacred. You sure make a big deal about recreational coitus and the consenting acts of others. > It should be kept between 2 people My goodness, what would you ever do if you had a million dollars? It's actually quite awesome with 3. Just saying. > If that was the only reason we had sex with each other we'd be no better than dogs. I'm not sure we're better than dogs regardless of how or why we mush our genitals together. Dogs don't kill other dogs because they think their imaginary friend is better, and they won't judge you for having sex for money.

    Pseudo-Liberals will pretend that they're 'all for' prostitution. They say it's a consenting act between adults and they make like it's a good and decent thing to do, because these people have shed their "inhibitions and sexual guilt after a religious upbringing" - like it's something to be praised I wonder how many liberals would marry a prostitute/support their daughter or son's prostitution 'career'/would turn to prostitution themselves. > This represents a tiny percentage of all the people in the world who have sex for money Highly dubious about your statement here. You/we have no way of confirming such a statement.
