What do you think about prostitution?

Question

Other then the fact that it's illegal, what do you think of it? Would it make you a ho? What if you were desperate and there was no other way of getting money? Please answer!

Answer 1

Business is business!And is not illegal everywhere.And no one has the right to pass moral judgement aganist you for doing it because,,they have no clue!

Answer 2

I agree that it's a victim less crime. I am not going to be a prostitute, and I wont work at McDonald's either but that does not give me the right to tell other what to do. As long as they are 18 and are not forcing men or women to have sex with them I don't see the big deal. Everyone who thinks this is going to go away needs to wake up. Its the world oldest profession for a reason. Why not make it legal and have it regulated so that there will not be pimps abusing women and women never getting AIDS test. Plus the government could make money by collecting taxes. The tax money saved by not putting them in jail and collecting income tax could go to preventing women from going into the profession in the first place, like maybe a job training program. This is the same way tobacco laws work, and we all know smoking is not good for your health either.

Answer 3

first things first guys dont pay pros for sex they pay them to leave right after sex

2. this is just a side though for butterfly ,

so if the government OKs it its not immoral any more , as the abortion right advocates say its there bodies they can do what they like bootlegging was illegal but it didn't stop Joe Kennedy from getting Rich

now for the rest

prostitution is called the oldest profession for a reason, even in the time of Jesus ( if u believe in him) there were prostitutes, Mary Magdalen was a so called prostitute ( even though i think that was a slur to help keep women as 2nd class citizens by the Catholic church), Jesus said there will always be poor people no matter what

etc etc etc ,,,,,,,, if u want to do it and can live with your self go for it but watch out for the pimps the diseases and the violent johns

if politicians can whore there souls and morals , u should be able to make a profit on your body
after all why should pro athletes be the only one to sell there bodies and its a free market system we live in isnt it.

Answer 4

I think the Prostitution it's a illegal and many Filipinos especially to the female under of age below 18 are being a prostitute and I think the Congress or even the Senators are not to do the Bill for the Prostitute Act and I think they not solved it or even to action it about this issues.Sometimes the NBI or Manila Police were action and to rescue to the minor prostitutes inside the clubs or motels even some gays were also being a prostitutes.The reasons being a prostitute like they want to buy their own bodies for having a money,due to poverty,family problems,stop for schooling,being a rebellious to their families,taking the drugs and even they might to get sick like a STD or UTI.I don't know if the President should be to talked and resolved it about this prostitutions and we must to helped to all teenagers,gays,or even young women whose the victimized in the prostitutions and we must to fight it and must be to save to all the people.

Answer 5

I think that prostitution ought to be legalized ... it would be much safer for the women who are prostitutes, and they could 'unionize' (although they already have a union, although not a 'legal' one since their 'business' is illegal) and get 'benefits' like good health care, etc. As it is, while some of the 'johns' are occasionally arrested, it's usually the 'girls' who are arrested, and then when their 'pimps' bail them out, they get beaten ... and most of them are 'hooked' on illegal drugs before they are 'put on the street' to make money ... and must pay more money to the pimps than they get to keep to buy the drugs they need ... it's a TERRIBLE LIFE and no woman should have to live that way, and if it was legalized, they wouldn't have to.

Answer 6

It is legal in Nevada. I don't agree with it but can see where some people think it is a necessity. I am glad that I am not one although they make very good money. I guess if one likes sex then it is the way to go. It would be hard for me to look myself in the mirror but even moreso I plan to be married one day and it would be hard for my man to accept that I was with so many other men for money. He is a firm believer that you cannot turn a ho into a housewife. :)

Answer 7

There is no such thing as "no other way of getting money" except by being a prostitute. There are decent ways to earn a living without selling your body to strangers. To name some: work in a department store, fast food places, board and care homes, hospitals, day care centers and similar places. I do not mean working as administrators because that position requires higher education, but work in any capacity such as clerk, cashiers, bus girl or dishwasher in a restaurant, caregiver or aide in hospital, maid in a hotel, etc.

Answer 8

I think prostitution is a poor choice for a woman to make to do with her body. I believe any woman with any self respect would not lower her self to selling her body for money. As for being the only way to get money..bull crap....there are other jobs to get that don't require a good education...like cleaning residences/businesses, waitress etc...I'm a successful person in life but I would rather work at McDonald's than sell my body and soul for money.....

Answer 9

I've always felt that it should be legalized, licensed, and taxed- just like ANY other business. That would "clean it up", stop women from being "pimped" & victemized, and free up the Police to chase after REAL criminals (instead of street walkers). The "World's Oldest Profession" -is THAT WAY- for a REASON. And it's NEVER going to GO AWAY- no matter HOW HARD Society tries to be rid of it. It's time we dealt with the Issue HONESTLY, and STOP penalizing the women who make their living on it.

Answer 10

Prostitutes are at least honest about it. A lot of women are prostitutes, but don't realize they are. This for That. It's that simple.

Face it, some people can't get love any other way. In a way it's a public service.

Don't get me wrong, I don't condone it. As far as professions go, there are worse. <>

Answer 11

I personally don't think there's anything wrong with it per se. We all sell some part of ourselves and our time to someone - it's called having a job.

The real problem with prostitution in the US is that you inevitably get mixed up with someone who WILL be your pimp - whether you want one or not. It's all down hill from there, and once you have that first prostitution conviction, every future employer will know about it. It's a hard cycle to break out of.
