Is prostitution "immoral"?

She's dodged that a couple times now. Much easier for her to judge someone as having something wrong with them rather than to explain her stance.

Based upon what she has posted in this thread, I have to conclude that her real issue concerning prostitution is that sex is involved.

She seems to ignore the fact that her same argument can be equally applied to fast food workers.
Unless you harp on the sex part....

I used to have a t-shirt that I used to wear outside when I'd do some gardening, and sometimes I'd just wear the t-shirt and my underwear....it was from Larry Flynt's club and it said -

"Relax! It's just sex!"

Now, find the relevence. :D

The sex part? Yes that could be it! My objection to it is because it involves sex. who would have thought? Some of us believe sex is sacred and shouldn't be debased by such things as commerce. Is that surprising?

Just wondering, if sex is sacred, isn't it best to have it as much as possible? :D

Which is fine, nobody is suggesting you be forced to do so.

The problem is your stance seems to involve forcing that view on others using the law.

Damn, I've got to spread the frubals around first before I can frubal you again.

I don't think prostitution is immoral in theory. Trading one's services or production for money is something almost all of us do. But I think prostitution as it is too often conducted can be immoral. Especially when it involves the trafficking of girls and young women. I think it needs close and effective regulation by the government.

Why are you lying, when did I even mention the law?

Hence why I said 'seems to involve' rather that quoting an explicit statement.

So am I wrong here? Do you support the banning of such things as prostitution or pornography, or the complete acceptance of them (at least legally) or somewhere in between?

Of course I am not in complete acceptance but believe education and medical attention is the best course to go rather than prohibition

Nope, not the least bit surprising.
I mean, it does explain your inconsistencies.
Though it does not tell us why you have not yet explained your whole exploitation stance.

It's both when prostitution (and the includes the porn industry) becomes mainstream it pretty much affect how women are generally viewed. We become objects, tools to be used and nothing more.
I agree.

It degrades women to be the subject of anonymous strangers serving only to act as a sexual outlet. It's very demeaning.

Then I apologize, I was reading something from your posts that wasn't there.

Ironically that makes our practical viewpoints fairly similar, even as our moral views are almost opposite each other.

As it should be.

Education according to what source?

Medical attention? STD screening or psychological analysis?

A good strong woman positive education could help prevent young women from seeing this "profession" has an option.

And I think psychoanalysis would be helpful to those already in the business.
