Is prostitution "immoral"?

[McBell]

I think the best insight would come from actual strippers, prostitutes and porn stars themselves.

Because they would obviously not know and or admit to be exploited.
Even though we have no idea how it is they are being exploited.

Not to mention that they have to have mental issues....

Probably.

 

[McBell]

That's what I said. Have a problem with it?

Just pointing out yet another inconsistency.

To be fair, I did read somewhere once that victims of sexual assault/abuse often turn to promiscuity to trivialize sex as a coping mechanism.

Sure I think we should consider their stories.

There is a fine line between prostitution and rape.

Most of prostitution is willing full, even if they don't want to do it (like work)

Being drugged and tortured is a completely different thing :slap:

Sorry but I really don't see the difference, all sexual exploitation is rape.

Actually, the subject is a pretty complex one. For instance, women working on the streets -- about 80% of them -- would prefer to be doing something else for a living if they could. But women working in bordellos report that their experience has raised ttheir self-esteem and sense of empowerment. So the issue isn't for the simple-minded.

To the sanctity of those who do not wish it to be exploited, sure.

I know what you mean though, "Thats someone's daughter".

How about we start with a source that does not openly admit that the purpose of their existence is to abolish prostitution?

Let's say there is a guy named Jake. Jake has his eyes set on this huge widescreen television, but he's short on cash at the moment, so being the impatient man he is he decides to make a deal with a buddy of his he met down at the gay swingers club that he frequents to do some sexual favors in exchange for some cash. He is being raped?

Invalid statement.

You have not explained how it is exploitation.

Heh, he could be being "raped".

Or it could be foreplay

I am not under obligation to explain my stance to you. With another woman sure I will. But to you, no way.

Okay then, I'm still waiting. How is a willing participant exploited?

Do you only consider it "exploitation" when money is involved?

I mean, if the girlfriend says to the boyfriend: "no more sex till we get married" is that considered exploitation?

 

[Father Heathen]

Let's say a man has a one night stand with a woman. Would it be considered rape once he bought her breakfast and paid her cab fair?

I have a better example.

Lets say this man slides down a rail and at the end of a rail is a nub, the man happens to get cornholed.

Was he rapped?

Ok, so respond to any of my posts then, if gender is your standard.

So the stories of those women on that site don't matter?
