Default Prostitution

Prostitution

Referred to as the world's oldest "profession," prostitution is defined as the act or practice of selling oneself for sexual purposes. It is also defined as an unworthy use of a talent, quality, or the like, especially for personal gain. What's interesting is that the former is illegal in all states except Nevada while the latter has been morally and culturally accepted since the beginning of time. This begs the question: is there any difference between a street walker/escort and a person who uses their physical beauty to attain a lifestyle that others labor very hard to attain? Too often in our society we see evidence of the "trophy spouse"; a reward received by those who achieve success in business or entertainment. The marriage consists of a person who sees a beautiful spouse as something to obtain and a person who deliberately shops lifestyle by any sexual means necessary.

Some would argue that prostitution should be made legal so that (just as with drugs) it can be regulated by the state and become a source of revenue enhancement. Furthermore, sex between strangers would be safer since the government (as in Nevada) would require regular medical examinations to prevent the spread of sexually transmitted diseases. The problem facing this country is that we haven't reconciled these two definitions thus creating the existence of a double standard. We are quick to arrest and condemn the street walker/escort but would never think to shun a sexual opportunist. In many ways, prostitution already is legal in our society. People pay to watch two people have sex with each other but yet cannot pay each other for sex. I recall two people comparing their lifestyles while waiting in line at the airport. One person told the other "the difference between you and me is that you pay for your sex with cash and I pay for it with dinners, clothing and jewelry". The problem with this country today is not that we are a nation of laws but rather a nation that continually contradicts itself when it comes to morality.

Pornstars get paid for having sex with strangers, isn't street prostitution the same thing? (besides the lack of health exams)

No it's not. The government doesn't get their cut from street prostitution, therefore it's illegal.

All that I am saying is that prostitution is not so bad, if it is a regulated business. The prostitution in Nevada, that is under regulation, is also taxed, so the government get's some of that money.

Legalising prostitution. yeah, okay, from a capitalists point of view, okay, from a moral standpoint? - That's a step backwards...

I fully agree with your post.

Plus legalizing this, as well as drugs, could make so many other areas of crime and illegal activity better enforced. We'd save SO much time and money if we didn't put focus on drugs and prostitution. We spend a whole lot and get only a small amount of deterrance.

Exactly, morals are sometimes ridiculous.

Didn;t Prostitution start with Thomas Hooker in the Civil War?

The guy brought girls to have sex with the soldierd before a battle to boost their moral.

And I think prostitution is retarded and a waste of money. its a good way to get some unknown girl pregnant, and possibly get some disease.

Plus.....just like the Mardi Gras thing there is no commitment. A hooker wont settle down with you and start a family. They just like walking around getting fucked for money. waste of time.

(1) most people don't want sex for the relationship
(2) hookers don't get pregnant, they have abortions because they need to keep making money
(3) you can't really say that hooking is a waste of time, because they get paid and they don't have to do much work. It's real dirty and gross, and it's a good way to fuck up your life, but it's not a waste of time.

Bean, prostitution has been around forever, supposedly Mary Magdeline (Jesus' wife) was a prostitute herself. Anyway, you've got some valid points on the issue of legalising prostitution, but I disagree with your points of how we should legalise and regulate drug use. I fully understand that the war on drugs is possibly the greatest failure in the history of the united states, I fully understand that we are losing this war and is costing us billions of dollars, but legalising will completely destroy this country- drugs do nothing good. They serve no useful purpose, and kill millions each year. No, that would be catastrophic (although it's interesting that tobacco is still legal).

People arent going to stop sexing it up with strangers. So why not regulate it, and make it safer yeah? Makes sense.

Screw Morals. Two hundred years ago, it was immoral for people to show any skin on their legs.

On their legs? Hell, two hundred years ago it was considered downright slutty to raise your sleeves up to their elbows except with anybody that they knew for their entire life. People were wierd back then...now we have girls who go to school wearing tight fitting t-shirts that only go down just below their breasts (not that I really care, or anything).
