even so
how is prostitution anymore justifiable in terms of the human condition than being bad to the environment?

What's wrong with prostitution?

This is probably an argument we can't have. No argument will change the mind of someone who doesn't see at first sight what's wrong with it

The same that with any other hard working job. Prostitution wouldn't be a problem if it wasn't illegal. The fact that the girls need "protection" from men that steal their money and drug them makes it a bad job. The fact that I have something that you want and you pay for it to get it is not wrong at all.

That argument makes no sense
in a perfect world prostitution might be a viable job.

Do we live in a perfect world? No. We live in a world where prostitution is generally (with exceptions) a violent, seedy and crime filled business. Sex trafficking, rape and drug addiction are all part of it. But it's not really rape is it? She (and it is in large part a woman) is offering her wares, you can't rape the willing, they're doing it for the money after all. The whole thing makes me sick.

And yeah I'm really not a prude, but I would never touch a man who had visited a prostitute. The power dynamics are fucked up beyond belief, and I would view with the greatest distaste anyone who needed to pay to get off.

But then I'm a weirdo I guess
and I know my views aren't shared by that many

" ...I would view with the greatest distaste anyone who needed to pay to get off."
Does this include porn?
