I suppose if you're being serious, yes, they are. Airlines exist for other reasons too, however. It's like saying that guns sales are murders: it's obviously no

I suppose if you're being serious, yes, they are. Airlines exist for other reasons too, however. It's like saying that guns sales are murders: it's obviously not universal, but sometimes it's true.
I just want to be clear that I don't view prostitution as wrong per se. I don't know why it's OK to put out for a dinner or movie but apparently wrong for $100. What consenting adults do is their business.
That said, the line between "consensual" and "coerced" is very fine in the sex trade. The women in this article are engaged in a consensual business. They can walk away at any time. They presumably weren't tricked or lied to. But many in this thread find it uncomfortable and I presume we find it uncomfortable because you don't have to make very many changes to this scenario to make it go from "fun partying" to "pimping" to "sex trafficking". Hell, they've flown them cross country, all someone would have to say is "if you don't want to have sex, leave, but you get your own plane ticket" for it to go from a 6 to 9 on the scale the OP of this thread referred to.
Anyway, it's all beside the point. From the article it didn't seem like anything untoward happened. But make no mistake, something very similar is happening in Western North Dakota (women being flown in to "serve" a large population of single men) and it's sex trafficking all the way.
- smsm42 12y agoI completely agree that some people can find it uncomfortable. So what? It's not their business, unless they participate in it somehow. Nobody has an obligation to make them comfortable. Some people think seeing women wearing trousers or men having long hair or shaving facial hair make them uncomfortable. The only reasonable answer to them is "well, if you don't like it, don't look at it". >>> all someone would have to say is "if you don't want to have sex, leave, but you get your own plane ticket" If the implication was that the ticket is paid, that would be deception, unless explicitly agreed upfront that the sex is part of the deal (which it wasn't). However, nothing like that happened and nowhere in the article we can see that they were pressured to do anything they didn't want to do.
