Sex workers?

And totally useless to anyone who doesn't believe the bible the bible is relevant in todays world.
I don't follow the view that consent magically makes something moral. There's people who agree to be murdered, and that has happened. So that alone doesn't determine morality in my view.
I'm not talking morality, I'm talking free will.
And I'm saying I don't view sex work as moral or ethical. People use their free will to do all sorts of things that aren't good.

All you need is love.
This is my opinion, too.
That is up to you. I don't see sex as immoral so long as all involved parties are of age and consenting. As for ethical, it's a business transaction, someone has something to sell, someone else wants to buy it.

How do these judgmental Christians see the speck of dust in other people's eyes when there is a plank in their own? In my opinion, if they focused more of their attention on the plank in their own eye, then they wouldn't have the time to point out the speck of dust in the eyes of those they pompously judge.
That's probably a violation of forum rules. I mean, we can't even talk about smoking weed on this board, so I doubt talking about getting a hooker will fly. Just saying.
As an aside, haven't you admitted to having a sex addiction in your journal??? If so, that's probably not a good thing for you, to be doing that and thinking of it too much. Not trying to make it personal, and I'm not trying to be mean. Just concerned. You can ignore it if you want.

Twilight, not bright nor dark, good nor bad.
That's just for the Christians who happen to think that is true. It means absolutely nothing to the rest.

I pay some ladies every two weeks to clean my house. I don't like housework and have some money to spare. They are prepared to do housework (I have no idea how they actually feel about it, they seem cheerful enough) and need money. We all seem to be perfectly happy with the arrangement.
Let's examine the idea that I pay them to have sex with me instead. I don't, for various reasons, none of which are moral. I don't get sex from any other women, I'm old and unattractive, and I miss it very much. If our approach to the arrangement was the same as for housework, how does it differ?
It seems that, according to you, as I can't get sex from women that are attracted to me, then I'm doomed to an unwanted celibacy and they are shut off from a possible source of income.
Why not find an old widow at a bridge game or whatever? I don't understand people who say it's so hard just to find a sex partner. It's not. Most of that is in your head. Sex is a dime a dozen, especially if you're desperate and your standards aren't high. What's hard is finding a person who actually wants to commit and treats people right. That's regardless of age.
Sounds incel-ish.

How very odd. You spend a lot of time telling us how uninterested you are in things (like your post on the election), but you insist on letting us know about it.
If you don't care, why are you engaging?

Often drug abuse is what gets them started in that business. My housemate's son's girlfriend would "escort" for both of them at times. He was into his own illegal activities and when he was busted she asked me if I could hold her money for her that she was earning towards his bail. She did not quite trust herself or her living conditions to keep it herself and couldn't trust any of her druggy friends. They both got better for a while, but unfortunately both have relapsed and went their separate ways. Each one blames the other for the relapse. They may both be right.
She was like the ladies that you mentioned. Making money in a way that she could not have done if she was working a real job. I hear conflicting stories about how she is making money now. Would they have stayed clean if they had each gone their own way? I do not know. Prison made them both sober for a few years.

There are many places where prostitution is legal.
Outside Nevada's 10 counties, not anywhere in the US.

There's much more to the world than the US
Sure, but I decided reply in the context of the OP, who doesn't live in "much more to the world that the US."
But thanks for trying to take me to school.
If prostitution is legal in any particular country and the assumption that a contract is made - sex for money - and where both participants are fully aware of this and adults, then I see few issues. As long as those providing the service have not been coerced into such, are of legal age, and this is their free choice to do so. Simply because of the notion of free will and autonomy. But they should have adequate knowledge as to what this will entail when making such a choice.
Many sex-workers will likely travel to other countries simply because they will earn more than in their native country. The numbers who have actually been sex-trafficked might be hard to obtain, given that they might say whatever depending upon the circumstances. Those who might have been drawn or coerced into sex-work is a more difficult problem, especially if this started when they were underage. In this latter case then they almost certainly will have been exploited and hence could be seen to not have acted freely - thus invalidating any free choice argument. And of course if many are coerced as adults as to such then this too should be seen as being exploitative.
But I should add, resources should be available to discourage any from taking up such work or as to supporting any who do.

Thats sad. there're too many drug addicts who do it to pay for their lifestyle.
