Let's talk about the oldest profession there is, prostitution.
What are your thoughts people? I have some friends who think it's abhorrent and others who regularly get involved.

I don't see anything wrong with it as long as the prostitute is in the profesion via choice.
Sure, when you're with a tart, I imagine it's as clinical as getting a bed wash from an NHS nurse. I think you can't say that the punter is taking advantage, or the 'tart, it's different for each situation. Is it really any worst than those people who go with others for elaborate gifts and lavish lifestyles? To say 'worst' means there is something wrong, it's a simple exchange of service for money. I think the legacy of being a religious country continues to hound into the minds of people that there is something wrong. And also, I think it's wrong to lead someone on just for sex. It's just a natural bodily function, a natural urge, that the vast majority of people have.
(, Sun 7 Aug 2011, 19:27, Reply)
As long as all the parties involved are consenting adults, what folk do in the bedroom is no concern of mine.
Legalising it and subjecting it to regulation, taxes etc. would make the experience less seedy all round, give both the tarts and the johns a stronger defence against being exploited, and provide an extra source of income for the state.

I wouldn't do it myself though, not for moral reasons but because I'm a tight get.
(, Sun 7 Aug 2011, 19:31, Reply)
I think it's fine, as a business transaction.
It's supply and demand, isn't it? Someone wants to buy sex, and someone else wants to sell it. As long as the person is selling it by choice. And if there is any security, it should work for her, not the other way round.

There's quite a lot of research to indicate
that people who pay for sex tend to be more violent towards women, objectify them more etc. Most studies indicate the vast majority of prostitutes have been raped while working as a prostitute and physically abused by their customers. For the most part those who work as prostitutes have been damaged by life, are often victims of childhood sexual abuse and in a lot of cases have PTSD. These aren't problems that legalising it will fix.

There are issues with it
but mainly they revolve around the dangers for the prostitutes themselves. Plus, I think doing it would suck.

(, Sun 7 Aug 2011, 21:11, Reply)
In principal I can't see anything inherently wrong with consenting adults paying for or getting paid for sex.
In reality it involves human trafficking and abuse and it's abhorrent. The vast majority of women in prostitution are problematic drug users. It objectifies people, be they male or female, and I don't consider objectification to be a good thing.

When people start failing to recognise other peoples'
'personhood', reacting to people as their bodies rather than on an empathetic level, that's when shit gets bad. That's when people excuse treating others like shit. Surely you consider yourself to be more than your external appearance?

The way I see objectification
Is when you talk about what you would do to a person, as if they had absolutely no say in the matter. I get this a lot when people talk about my boobs, as if there wasn't a person attached. I know I talk about them a lot, and I don't mean anyone joining in those conversations. I mean those people (and it's not always blokes) who go ' are they real? They're massive' just out of the blue.

I don't have a problem with it, or anyone getting involved in it.
But I wouldn't partake in a million years, half the enjoyment of shagging someone is the fact they actually want to shag you too. That said the hotel I stayed in in Turin last year was actually a giant brothel, and I got us kicked out of the place after bursting into one of the rooms and shouting 'AHAAAAAA!'. That was fun, I'd definitely do that again.
