Whores
Posted: Sat Aug 30, 2008 5:25 am
I put this on another forum but wanted to ask about it here to. I'm basically going to copy paste my main points and arguments I had and then you can debate them if desired.
So...
Whats your opinion on them?
I see no problem with it as long as they aren't stupid about it and it does not go against their morality. I personally would never pay for sex but can see why what they do could be seen as good. I mean sex has health benefits. For men that can't get it any other way they are supporting both a longer life and healthy immune system if they are safe about it. It also releases endorphins which help with depression.
It's like going to see a special doctor.
A sex doctor!
There was a time I was against it but I ask myself why.
The answer was stupid, "because society tells me it's bad".
So I took notes on the good and bad. It turned out that it had health benefits and was quite harmless if done safely.
I mean for one it promotes a longer life.
You don't have sex you release less endorphins and males don't get the testosterone boost that has a chemical to help the immune system. It's natures way of saying "if you don't do your job (try and reproduce) then I don't need you here."
Sex is an act of love no matter how you look at it (except rape). It's human contact that causes a "love sensation". It's not being in love but either way love is a beautiful thing.
You can make love without "being in love". There should be an emotion that goes with it though whenever you commit an act of love period. That isn't a bad thing though and the emotion should be happy. It's not a filthy emotion like some females are forced into feeling thanks to what society has forced people to conform to.
If you use protection the chances are much lower of getting and STD and in some cases it's obvious if the person has one. You don't "have to sleep with them". If you get that type of job you should get tested frequently just to make sure nothing happened. While it may not be likely if you are safe it could happen. I am sure you would be aware of that when choosing the job.
Most of the time broken condoms and unwanted pregnancy are due to operator error and stupidity. Take the pill and use a condom, you will never get pregnant. Don't "double up on condoms". It's called friction and they will break. There are plenty of married people and prostitutes that never get an STD or pregnant on accident and use proper protection. Accidents can happen but the chances are very slim if you're smart about it.
If it wasn't illegal there could be more involved in making it a perfectly safe job but that is not the case. The fact that it is illegal in a sense supports the spread of STD's between the people that are not smart about it. If it were to be legalized there could be more standards. Such as requirements that both the whores and customers have been tested within a certain amount of time.
A few more points I would like to make after some more research. First of all discriminating against whores because of their choice is no better than racism. They have chosen a job that in almost all of the US except some parts of Nevada is illegal based on religious ideas even though we have "freedom of religion". Due to this they must work in a atmosphere where people are looking down on them because it's considered filthy. The intolerance is damaging and can result in other illegal activities that are harmful such as drugs. Statistically speaking the highest drug use rate for prostitutes is with street prostitutes. Thanks to anti prostitution laws they most likely are working on the street for a pimp that takes most of their money; therefore, the laws are supporting a increase in drug usage, psychological abuse, and an unsafe atmosphere in a drug friendly environment which will create a even larger risk of spreading STD's. Most prostitutes practice safe sex and the statistics for STD's from prostitution are about 3-5%. The highest rate is among teens (30-35%) that don't practice safe sex and are not as careful. It's more likely that you will get an STD from thinking you can "trust someone" than it is by having safe sex.
Statistically, the majority of house prostitutes feel better about themselves after becoming prostitutes. This is for those that say "only women with low self-esteem and other problems get involved in stuff like that". No, I hate to burst you bubble but I have known some people that did either nude modeling, stripping, and even a couple whores. Most of them (except my sons mom) were happy about themselves and were wonderful, friendly people to be around.
Making it illegal supports physical and sexual abuse because they cannot report it due to fear. Many of them are raped multiple times, many abused by clients. People know they will not report these things and because of that there is a high rate of physical and sexual abuse that is supported thanks prostitution being illegal.
Making it illegal does not work in the first place and is ridiculous when it's benefits are better than it's down sides. It forces potentially good people into situations that are emotionally and physically traumatizing when illegal. The damage that people do to their fellow human being by having such strong dislike for prostitution can lead to abuse, and emotional damage. The mass brain washing of people and forcing them to take a narrow minded religious based view causes nothing but pain and suffering for their fellow human being.
These are people, people that could be happy and live good healthy lives if it was just for a little acceptance. Discriminating against them is in my opinion sick. The proof is in the areas that it's accepted. Most of those prostitutes are happy and living productive lives. They aren't on the streets involved in drugs and spreading STD's like the simple minded majority of America has forced them to do.
I also would like to add that I was surprised to discover many feminist are against prostitution. Since they want equality I thought they would be for it. Males can be and are prostitutes as well. Also, female prostitutes have rejected that double standard of being trash for sleeping with many men while a man can be great for having multiple partners. So just a little message I want to give to any feminist that think that way. These prostitutes have sex with many people just as many men do. They are more equal sexually than you could ever imagine being. If you want equality don't expect men to conform to your ideas about sex. Suck it up and conform to theirs or stop complaining.

I know some will say it ruins relationships. If people are going to screw around behind their loved ones back not having whores wont change that. The person should not belong in a relationship and it's not the prostitutes fault. The blame is on the idiot sleeping around. They are doing the person a favor if their other finds out by showing them the the true colors of the person they are with. If someone I was dating screwed a whore I would thank the whore for showing me I needed to end the relationship.
Also, Pimps are a cause of a lot of abuse and getting rid of them would be good. I had a close friend whose cousin was picked up by one when she was 15. They do not always treat the girls well and can be very physically and emotionally abusive. My old friends cousin was trained until she was 18 and constantly moving around. They basically often pick up young girls on the street with no place to go.
In a legal environment as I talked about earlier there can be safe places for it. There already are some where it's legal. The girls are tested and the men at least have to clean themselves up first. There is always a risk of STD's but it is very small in a controlled environment. I don't know the details on this part but just for the sake of argument they wouldn't have to accept any men. If someone has an apparent STD or looks like they just walked off the streets and were obviously loaded up on drugs they could say no. They can keep some form of etiquette in a area like that.
Sure, some people may think that's all they can do. Much better to put them in a safer environment than let the roam the streets and be abused. At least then if they want to move away from it they are not damaged like they would have been on the streets. In a harsh environment they are more likely to never recover from being abused or even escape a pimp if they have one and that's not the career they want long term. You can't always just "leave a pimp" because depending on who it is you could find yourself in a body bag.
In a better and well controlled environment the chances of someone that would not want it long term moving onto something else are much higher. Someone that may have ended up abused, controlled, and on drugs may turn out a wonderful person. I look at it this way because I actually care about people and if they have a chance want whats good for them.
Get rid of the pimps and make it legal. Then they have nobody to train and the people working want to be there and can walk away.
Also, By safe environment I don't mean they would walk around at night if that's what you think. Whore houses for lack of a better word is what would be a safe place but it's not a trashy place. It would be like walking into a place that has various rooms and people there that look over everything.

Just take a look, check out the FAQ's or whatever. It's a fun friendly environment.
I hope posting that didn't break the rules....
If so go ahead and delete it. I just did it for the sake of debate.
Obviously the legal age would be would be 18.
I think at first some would stay with the pimp out of fear maybe or if they are used to it. Doing it off the streets though would be much better. I think even if it were legal they would still have to work in a place of employment. You are offering a service for cash. Is it not required when you have a job that some money be taken out for taxes? That will take out a lot less money than most pimps as well. Maybe I'm wrong but I think it legally would have to work that way because of how things are even now.
So, they can work for a pimp that takes almost all their money and abuses them or go to a pleasant environment where they can do their job legally. I think those facts alone would clean up what goes on greatly. Even if a few do make the choice to stick with the streets then oh well. You can't help people if they wont help themselves given the chance. Better to help many be removed from that atmosphere than none.
Even if someone is against the act I would like to think making the world a better and more friendly place is worth it. It may not fit your morals but nobody is forcing you to see one or become one. They are human and believe it or not these very people that some people are being so cold to are sometimes very giving and caring people. Yes I know, for a lot of people it's hard to grasp that but I know. I have been friends with a couple and will admit, some are bad people. That can go for any group. Others are amazing, caring, loving, all around good people. When you see someone you care about abused. Someone that has been there for you and others it's not a happy thing. No good person deserves that and if there is a way to change it I am all for it just to make the world a better place.
