how do i support this argument: making out with people for money IS prostitution!?

Question

i called this girl at school a prostitute because she makes out with people for money and she starts yelling at me and says its only being a prostitute if you have sex so i looked up prostitute on dictionary.com (this will be difficult to explain to my dad, who installed spyware on my laptop....i think) but there were a bunch of different deffinitions and their meanings were unclear. if you do not agree with me then please, dont answer my question. i want sources too!!

Answer 1

YOUR ANSWER IS SIMPLE. ANY TYPE OF ACTIVITY SUCH AS SEX OR MAKING OUT FOR MONEY IS PROSTITUTION.IT'S THE FACT OF SEXUAL FAVOR IN EXCHANGE FOR MONEY.I BELIEVE IT IS SOMETHING THAT A PERSON WOULD BE ARRESTED FOR.

Answer 2

Main Entry: 1pros·ti·tute
Pronunciation: 'präs-t&-"tüt, -"tyüt
Function: transitive verb
Inflected Form(s): -tut·ed; -tut·ing
Etymology: Latin prostitutus, past participle of prostituere, from pro- before + statuere to station -- more at PRO-, STATUTE
1 : to offer indiscriminately for sexual intercourse especially for money
2 : to devote to corrupt or unworthy purposes : DEBASE

Well kissing for money isn't against any law so I think law wise that sort of hurts your case. If kissing is prostitution then where does one draw the line? Are people who take nude photos prostitues? What about people in freak shows? How about interpreters who basically use their voice for money? How about seeing eye dogs because their bodies are used to guide and they get paid in kibbles and bits?
In other words you might have over steped your bounds. You may disagree with her actions but now your trying to define a word to your own meaning. Instead of copping out that way why don't you just say "hey, I was wrong for calling you a prostitute but I think your actions are pretty sleezy." Leave at that because when you get down to it why do you even care? Are you jealous because all these boys pay to be kissed by her? Who cares? They're probably not worth it if their willing to pay for kisses.
Also fairs use to have kissing booths. They would have to kiss random strangers, nasty but not prostitues.

Answer 3

In a general sense, you can be a prostitute if you compromise your ideals for money as well.

PS Tell your dad you were doing a homework project on careers, and watch his face!!

Answer 4

Why did your dad instal spyware on your laptop. I think this should be the real quesiton.

Try getting a spyware remover and that should solve your problem.

Answer 5

I would say, if you ever take money for any kind of affection thats should be consider some kind of prostitution even if there is sex involved. you are still doing some kind of service for money. I agree with you.

Answer 6

Accepting money, gifts, etc. in exchange for any type of companionship could classify. Lots of women would be considered as such, it just depends on how you look at it.

Answer 7

I disagree with your whole idea that you feel you should be able to ask a question and only allow positive feedback. Your question is silly and you can go and get your own sources!!

Answer 8

Money or gifts. Prostitution, yes. I like it though.

Answer 9

That girl is not a prostitute.I agree with eantaelor.

Answer 10

Sex is not just when you put thingy "A" into slot "B". Just ask Bill Clinton. If she is "making out" and getting paid for making out then she is a hooker. Plain and simple.

A

BTW - your sentence "if you don't agree with me then please don't answer" is really, really dumb!!!
