Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?
The big problem is that most of them don't want to do it, it's a last resource. Or in horrible cases they're forced into it, like most of the Amsterdam whores.i don't quite understand why it's illegal either. i mean... it's not something that's looked very highly upon, but it's their bodies. they should be able to do whatever they want with it.
True, but if all you have to do is have sex with people (I know its more complicated than that, it can be a scary job, etc., but still.) to get paid, it wouldn't be fair to the people who don't do that and are married, chaste, dignified, asexual, people who aren't pretty enough, might make less than them.i don't quite understand why it's illegal either. i mean... it's not something that's looked very highly upon, but it's their bodies. they should be able to do whatever they want with it.

I'm not really sure what that has to do with my post or argument. Um.. can you explain how that has anything to do with what I said? I was condemning porn makers for taking advantage of desperate people, and how using something that I think should be special (is that old fashioned or weird to think sex should be between people who love each other?) like a drug, and how people who do business with prostitutes are using a person as a commodity, not unlike slavery. Umm... yeah.You're talking like prostitutes wait for people to pass by and jump on them saying FUCK ME OR I'LL KILL YOU. The costumers aren't the victims! No one should be a victim, and if proper regulations are put in place, no one would be. No one is forcing a punter to buy sex, they do it for whatever reason (no relationship, relationship with chaste, dignified, asexual person, relationship with asexual person who is okay with them going whoring, weird fetish, closet gay, etc) and hey, it's their problem. The prostitue provides a service. Blaming them is like morbidly obese people who blame the fast food industry and not themselves, it's a stupid excuse.
Do you have any idea what conditions most sex workers are subject to? How often violent crimes against them go completely ignored? I hate to say this, but until you've actually tried earning a living like that, shut the fuck up.
Then why not, not do it? And if they have no other choice why not just illegalize it so as not put themselves in harm's way as the only way of getting money?I know its more complicated than that, it can be a scary job, etc.
I already know this already. I'm not sure if saving lives by surgery and having sex for money are similar concepts. Are they similar concepts? One requires many years of school, hand-eye coordination, many other things that comes with hard work. The other's top priority besides courage and practice is having a good body, something you get from being born. Even if we compare it to a low pay job like manual labor, you still have to work hard and have the right skill set. I think that unhealthy (STDs etc.), unsafe, dangerous of a job should not be legal and should not be the last option. I think manual labor or factory job or something else should be the last option for people. So instead of squabbling over whatever is above I'd like to ask you: With a job that people are often forced into that is unsafe and risky, why is it still legal?I would like to correct an impression: sex workers don't make mountains of money. And even if they did, how exactly is it unfair? "Oh no, this person has decided for a career that I don't want/can't have, it's so unfair that they're making money :((". I guess you also think the amount surgeons get paid is unfair?
~that's why you make it legal so it can be regulated~I think that unhealthy (STDs etc.), unsafe, dangerous of a job should not be legal and should not be the last option. I think manual labor or factory job or something else should be the last option for people. So instead of squabbling over whatever is above I'd like to ask you: With a job that people are often forced into that is unsafe and risky, why is it still legal?
