Prostitution is mostly rape and should be regarded as such.
Underage prostitutes (which are extremely common in Europe) can't consent.
Drug addicts can't really consent.
Illegal immigrants can't really consent (because they can't refuse).
Prostitutes that are kept in a slave-like relationship can't really consent.
In richer countries the price you would have to pay even a low-income woman to do this would be so high, that almost noone would pay it. This "economic" gap is then filled by employers who manage to hold the "cost of labor" down by any means neccessary.
Yes, there is such a thing as completely voluntary prostitution. But the johns can't tell which from which. Especially in the lower price ranges you just have to assume a certain degree of exploitation and abuse from pimps if not from the johns...
- bjourne 13y ago> Underage prostitutes (which are extremely common in Europe) can't consent. You better define "extremely common" or come up with a proper reference for that claim.
- route66 13y ago"You better..." signals hat you don't agree because the quoted line does not fit your worldview. Meybe "You better" come with some support for whatever point you want to make?

- bjourne 13y agoThe null hypothesis of course. None of your links supports the "extremely common" statement, nice try though.
- bayesianhorse 13y agoWell, they do come to the conclusion that sex trafficking involves tens of thousands of minors a year in Europe. That's enough to make me sick. It means that there must be hundreds of thousands of men who pay for raping minors, since technically having sex with unconsenting minors is called rape in most countries. On the other hand, prostitution isn't considered an honorable thing, and exploiting/raping minors is even more frowned upon, even these conservative numbers are "extremely common".
