The question of whether to abuse women or not is indeed a "black and white issue".

Consensual sex between adults is not 'abuse'.

Unfortunately people all too often consent to abuse. Rape isn't always a struggle. Next time a prostitute does something she really hates for an extra bit of money, we should remind her that she's a consenting adult.Jon M. edytował(a) ten post dnia 23.09.08 o godzinie 19:51

Don't you know a considerable number of people who have, or have had, sex with prostitutes?

Yes

Does that make them all, without exception, 'scum of the earth'?

Their behaviour was unworthy, irresponsible and downright tawdry

Wouldn't that make a significant number of users of this forum 'scum of the earth' as well?

By character or by behaviour?

And how many people here actually know a working prostitute? Their lifestyle? Their way of thinking?

As far as I'm concered, if anyone agrees to do anything strange, disgusting or bizarre, with or without money changing hands, it's none of my business.

People do far worse things than visiting a prostitute.

Jon, would you call a man or a woman wanting straight sex with another human being as "scum of the earth"?

Some people don't like to masturbate and prefer prostitutes, and that seems to be a normal behaviour and character to me.

I just wondered whether some of you'd be equally forgiving if it was a man, say your male friend, who was selling himself, that is who was being sponsored by a woman?Rafał Janta edytował(a) ten post dnia 23.09.08 o godzinie 21:16

Temat: Room for sex...

Sylwia Łubkowska:
If this is so abhorrent then why so many people are up for it (on both sides)? I I think these days there's so much of it around and changes in society have gone so far that quite a lot of them say 'what's the big deal?' and mean it. I don't insist this is particularly 'healthy' but it becomes more and more a part of life and so perhaps it's an indication that life in general has become less healthy.

The acid test for abhorrency in this case is as follows:

1. Imagine you have a daughter who is now a young woman
2. Imagine you find out that she's been fucking some richer man/ men for financial compensation. It could be a sponsorship deal. But for the sake of clarity, let's call it whoring herself. Let's say greed is the factor.
3. Or possibly she's been forced into prostitution through human trafficing or heroin addiction, or just fallen in with a bad crowd.

In which way would you react. Multiple choice:

a. Good on her! It's nice to see the young thing making her way in life.

b. I feel physically sick.

If you've chosen a, fine; it isn't abhorrent and is a totally acceptable pastime.

If you've chosen b, looks like it's abhorrent.

Is it A or B, my friends?

For me, it's answer B.

I'd feel sick. Sick of the fact that as a father I've failed to provide other alternatives. Failure that I myself cannot provide enough security. Failure of the educational system that lead to no better source of income. Failure of the social system that didn't help her off the drugs. Failure of the legal system that didn't catch the bad guys. Failure of the society that it's all somehow acceptable. Failure to move beyond the caveman mentality of man provides/ woman accepts. Failure to see bigger values than greed. Failure that with all that failure the only recourse was to give in, submit to the power of cash, the rich man holding the aces.

Primo.

Steve, the quiz is biased. ;) It is permeated with the male paternalistic culture :)

In light of the above, an act of prostitution can be perceived as one of rebellion, of freedom, of embracing the value of one's own feminine body. For it is the body that allows the girl to liberate herself from the father's financial control.

Sure, the father will rage and despair, which only bares the failings of that outdated function.

Do I make a good feminist?

--------
Secundo.

As for the other comments, guys sometimes pay for it even when they get plenty of sex free of charge. It's like with drugs, you sometimes try it even though you're not an addict, but merely because of the thrill. Taste the illegal, the unknown. It adds a bit of excitement. So maybe it's the same with the girls and their little secret pecuniary adventures. You know, a kind of "just to be a whore for day" fantasy.

---------
Tertio.

All the time I'm referring to "sponsoring", which involves normal girls on a more or less random basis.

Adam, you talk a good talk;)

Let me ask you a straight question:

You've got a daughter (let's suspend disbelief a little here...) and she's putting out for cash.

Are you pleased with this fact, indifferent or rather displeased?

This implies that you wouldn't in fact enjoy it if was your daughter in question.

Why? If it's ok for others to do it?

Dave Andrew:
But any man who pays for sex or sponsoring is the scum of the earth - surely we can all agree on that?

What if a man's wife is disabled? Should he be celibate for the rest of his life?

Or a badly injured war veteran who can only get sex by paying for it? Is such a person 'the scum of the earth'?
