Prostitution: What do you think of it ?

[Estado Nacional]

I have nothing against it, morally, and I think it should be legalized.

[Utilitarian Garibaldi]

Prostitution should be legalized, not trafficking of course not, but voluntary prostitution is ok.

[The Seleucids (Ancient)]

Why? What's wrong with prostitution, especially when legalized?

E: You talk about "change", but you do realize that those things you'd want sex workers to get away from will simply be inexistent or at the very least extremely reduced considering legalization?

E2: It's pretty much as with drugs. 99% of the problem isn't even inherently there, it's created by the government.

Whats wrong with prostitution? Morality. Humanity.

A mutually beneficial trade it is. But a mutually beneficial trade thats immoral and dehumanizes the participants it is nonetheless.

I realize the issues with it will be greatly diminished, yes. But diminished is not absent.

Explain to me how it is immoral and how it dehumanizes the participants.

Its immoral in that it distorts the Image of God in individuals. Participants do not view one another as human beings but as objects for satisfaction. Thus they are dehumanized. Our Image, our propensity and desire for relationships, makes us human. Any action that results in the obscuring of that Image is immoral.

But state prostitution can be a lesser evil in the sense that it can reduce sodomy.

[Neo Philippine Empire]

I am disgusted by the sight of women selling their bodies.

How is sodomy relevant, reduced, or worse?

Also, how is prostitution or sodomy evil?

[Czechanada]

Society should have greater acceptance towards prostitutes, so that I may easily hire one in a safe, ethical, and sanitary fashion.

[Planita]

I have a positive view of it as a system with legal prostitution already works in the Netherlands. I think however it should be regulated to prevent forced prostitution among other crimes.

How is sodomy relevant, reduced, or worse?

It's relevant because it's worse than mere fornification and worse than normal. A state monopoly on prostitution could somewhat control what sexual activities are done in the brothels instead of of pushing the entire prostitution underground by banning it or leaving it free. It's evil but it's a lesser evil.

And how is it worse?

[Ethel mermania]

After reading this and the fas thread...

I want a drink, and then a whore.

And how is it worse?

Because it's a graver sin, ask any mainstream Roman Catholic theologian why. Or any mainstream pre-20th century Protestant or Orthodox Catholic Church theolgian

[Ethel mermania]

I am disgusted by the sight of women selling their bodies.

And I am aroused.

[Great Kleomentia]

Should be legal. Should be regulated.

[Great Kleomentia]

I am disgusted by the sight of women selling their bodies.

Which leads us to the question of why you watch prostitutes fuck their clients.

[Degenerate Heart of HetRio]

As far as I know, in Brazil, being a prostitute is considered a job. Make of that what you will.

More or less. I think they might apply for worker services as "autonomous workers", but their activists say that this is not enough, and want it to be available as an officially-recognized profession.



Green: Prostitution legal and regulated
Blue: Prostitution legal and not regulated. Organised activities such as brothels and pimping illegal
Red: Prostitution illegal
Grey: No information

Which is probably why it costs more.

see that's why I don't understand my country(canada). we allow it, but we don't do much about it to actually help the workers. Recently I believe read somewhere there was a group of them that tried to make it regulated or something like that, but it's been awhile since I've read that article.

Being a sin is not an assertion that it is "graver". And just what do you mean by sodomy?

Being a sin is not an assertion that it is "graver". And just what do you mean by sodomy?

Non-vaginal penetrative sex that between two or more persons, for example oral or anal.
