Is marriage prostitution?

Answer 1

Translation, PLEASE........

Answer 2

After 8 years of marriage, someone is definitely being prostituted here. Some might say prostitution is payment for sex. Normally that payment comes in the form of money or drugs. In my case sex is offered only after all bills have been paid, dinner have been cook, kids have been help with their homework, and a green light has been given to go ape-**** with the credit cards at Macy's.

Answer 3

No.

In every relationship, intimate or not, there is ALWAYS some kind of payoff. Sometimes it's obvious and at other times it's very subtle, but it's there.

For instance, a popular pretty girl might have a homely best friend. Maybe the pretty girl hangs with her to make herself look even prettier by comparison. The homely girl might accept her friendship because it makes her feel part of the "A" group.

Or,

David might hate fishing, but his boss loves it and asks David if he wants to come with him on a fishing trip. David accepts. The boss gets a fishing partner for the duration of the trip and possibly a chance to assess David outside of the office. David's payoff is a chance to ingratiate himself with the boss possibly leading to a pay raise or a promotion.

I'm sure you can think of many examples yourself. But the point is that marriage is no more prostitution than any other relationship.

Answer 4

IF ITS PROSTITUTION THEN WHY AM I NOT GETTING ANY??? I'm bustin my **** here!

Obviously your view on marriage is antiquated at best. Maybe traditionally the man 'brought home the bacon' and the wife 'made babies', but those days are LONG GONE for most folks. Everyone's working, everyone's cleaning, everyone's taking care of the kids, and nobody has time to "give" sex to someone if they're not into it themselves.

Answer 5

Nope! Marriage is a sacrosant social institution. The society continues its existance thro marriage. It is not for sex that people marry. Marriage provides seciruty, love & affection of the highest order, it gives you children and continuance of society is ensured. It also provides a conduit for handing down your culture to the next generations.

Answer 6

Prostitution is the exchange of sex for money with many different partners. Even though marriage is exchange of sex for benefits such as security, life style (etc) it is not prostitution as it is confined to one partner.

Answer 7

If only........most wives would be rich if they get paid each time they had sex with their husband.

Let's say $50 each session, that would be $600 per month if they have sex 3 times a week. How many wives get $600 per month just for sex? not including other household chores. If they have sex 5 times a week she will get $1000 a month.....if this is the case, alot of wives will have more to spend on themselves. If they up their price to $100 per session (those hot good lookers) 5 times per week will get them $2000 per month. How many good looking wives are getting $2000 per month from their husbands?

Answer 8

What? Marriage is giving of yourself to one other person (first and last) forever. There is no one else involved ever. Money isn't involved and neither is a pimp. How is it even close to related? You don't have to worry about STDs when two virgins marry and stay together forever. Thats what my husband and I did and its never been better for us.

Answer 9

It is if you are only marrying the man for his money. If you truly love your spouse and you make money as well and you enjoy being intimate with him then no way is that prostitution.

Answer 10

marriage is a voluntary emotional committment where in 2006 both parties have to work all the time and pay bills and raise children and try and not piss off one another

living together is hard

Answer 11
