I do it just for the fun of it...

As previously mentioned in a previous post , I have personal experience in the industry , And as I read everybodies opinions and thoughts relating to
prostitution . I can validate and agree with alot of the comments .

I can only speak from my personal experience.only .

I think everybody has a choice and every person that I
meet in the brothels and
caravan parks in Australia done the type of work to provide fnancial reasons , Some to
feed their family , Others to feed their
disgraceful drug habits and some done it to bolster their flagging egos , personal misery or
just for an experience.

I meet a madam named Talea and she had been knocked out by her
step brothers and they had tattooed the word ***** on
her forehead and had raped her multiple times over many years , great step family?. To see
her up the street and look at her face , she was very
attractive , And blessed with a athletic body , Due to her interests in karate. But when
she pushed back the hair from her forehead , You
could clearly see the huge black lettered tattoo reading ***** . Her girls all worked
for money and some needed herion to blot out
the feelings and choice they were making in the industry . Talea use to sleep in my bed
without invitation , She jus use to come in and slide
in nex to me without any sex and just tell me she felt safe there, I have never
forgotton those words ! I have also seen beautiful
women sell their bodies to supply their boyfriends with herion and end up stealing and lying to feed their own drug habits . She ended up with no boyfriend and a spell in jail . ( What glamour is that ? )

Well I believe we have all got choices to make , We can flip burgers or we can sell our soul to an industry that offers quick rewards and trappings , With the dangers that come with those choices that you make in that industry.( violence and disrespect )

Personally , I have also have been in many relationships outside of the industry !! And I still feel used to provide services to satisfy the needs of a women and her expectations financially.
I prefer to flip burgers , As I now have control ova my life and not herion and the fear of losing those
once close friends that made me feel
welcome and gave a sense of belonging.

Sex is great , I just wish that it is given in the spirit of love , without any pressure to offer more than the pleasure of being with that special person. I:m very greatful we have a compassionate god above , Who has taught me through his word so much , including compassion and weakness .

I personally loathe the industry that once made me feel special and important , And I enjoyed the financial trappings of that industry.

Plz make wise choices..

God bless u guys .

As far as I know most people don't give it away to as many people a day as a prostitute gets paid for it. Except maybe for people with a bi-polar disorder. hahaha

Going by the idea of the more you do something the more likely you are to get a certain outcome. It make it more likely for a prostitute to get an STD than you're average person. Just like if I play poker and lose a lot. The odds of me learning enough to actually win increase with each time. If I blindly shoot at a bottle eventually I am bound to hit it.

A person could go years and have nothing happen or it could be a they go out the first time and contract a disease that will end their life. That can be said of any person really. But if you give yourself more exposure then the more likely you are to have something happen you don't want to happen. That is the difference I see.

that's true, but it only takes the one time,, whether they were exposed to ten men or a thousand

each new time is a new risk they are consenting to take,,,


I think the prostitute is more likely to attact people trying to hide it and possibly have a less clean population they circulate with

the person in a bar attracts people who are being open

but morally and socially, I don't judge either person differently

I don't think prostitution should be "legal" or "illegal."

If it is "legal" then it becomes regulated by the government and the government collects their cut in taxes hence making the government into a pimp.

If it is "illegal" then most of the time it is the women who get a record and the customer goes free. Why? I guess because he is a man and can't help himself. Who knows.

I think the transactions between a man and a woman behind closed doors are nobody's business.

This of course is about men as customers, and women as prostitutes.

It is not about all the other variations of sexual transactions going on, including sex slave trade, or men prostitutes etc.

I don't know that one goes free more than the other. I know they do stings where they go after the johns. So they certainly get arrested.

As for the gov. being a pimp. I thought it was a pimp. They pimped women and even children in sick political games. I recall seeing a show where they talked about a program where they took little girls and had them surgically altered to make it easier for them to accommodate an adult male. I think they usually ended up blackmailing the people who had sex with the girls. But it was done by government.

Not to mention spies. I'm sure they more often then not get paid for sex. hahaha

Not very often. Mostly its the women.

By legalizing it makes the government a pimp I mean a LEGAL pimp. That stuff you mentioned was not legal no matter if members of the government were involved or not.

I wasn't really trying to judge either. Just saying it's a risky behavior. We both agree it only take one time to mess up your life. We both said that.

But that one hookers thought that getting tested was keeping her safe was just absurd. Making her customers use balloons for condoms would keep her safe. Getting tested only tells her she can keep doing what she's doing without making other people sick unless she has something that is in a dormant stage waiting to come out and play. Depending on the disease she could infect lots of people without knowing she has something. Maybe it could be something treatable and maybe not.

Agreed. I hope lots of head rolled for the child thing. That is certainly one of the most deplorable things I've heard of the Gov. being involved in.

I agree with you most the time izzy,, no exception here

I never got why 'consenting adult' sex was ok,, unless someone made money from it

if its , its ok, whatever the adults get from it,,, in my opinion

I vouch with you.

Msharmony, you never got why consenting adult sex was okay?

How about freedom? Free will? etc.

I don't think all consenting adult sex is ok because of my personal values and standards

but what I said was that , in the sake of consistency, IF the popular value system is that 'consenting adult' sex is ok

I never understood why it was suddenly not ok due to money exchanging hands

if we are saying the only two criteria should be that those involved are all adult and all consenting,, we are kind of hypocritical to then stigmatize the consenting man who pays a consenting woman

,,,it was a question of the inconsistency in the popular values and the continuing stigmatization of the sex industry

Actually, in this country it's more likely that the men are going to be charged by the police because prostitution itself is not technically illegal here but soliciting is.

I know some guys that were stopped by the police in the red light district here just for driving slowly and they were only looking for a chip shop. It's what's known as "curb crawling".

There are brothels here but they can't get a licence as that, so they call them saunas, or massage parlours instead. I really can't be bothered with this pointless argument that other posters are harping on here about diseases when they use condoms, so will skip over that. The danger to prostitutes is not from customers but from perverts and murderers. A few years ago the police tried to get all of the street prostitutes in Edinburgh to work on one street, instead of in the larger area where they were plying their trade because that way the police can watch out for them. The cops aren't interested in aresting prostitutes here. They are just trying to stop them from being raped or murdered.

Whatever other people here may think about the morality of prostitution, they can't stop it and by criminalising it you only take it out of safer environments, like a street with CCTV and police watching, or brothels with pimps that not only earn money from giving those girls a place to work but also give them a safer environment to work in.

Bean. Are you just trying to twist the meaning of what she said to get a reaction? hahaha You silly girl.

Just a quick thought. but by arresting the prostitute you are eliminating the supply. So while the demand may still be there the supply is gone and the person with the demand has to go else where.

Kind of like the idea of trying to stop the supply of drugs so the demand can't be met. Then you probably have druggies breaking into more pharmacies to get them. But at least it will be a more pure drug instead of one laced with pat poison and bleach. hahaha

gottcha. I agree.

Sex for money.... well lets just call it a gift exchange.

You give the girl a gift of money, and in gratitude she gives you the gift of sex.

Or a girl has sex with you and in gratitude you give her the gift of money.

In this case, you can't really call it selling or buying as each act is a gift and either party can choose whether or not to give the gift.

That is closer to dating.

No changed my mind, Enough said by everyone else! keeping my 2cents for later when its worth it!!

I'll give your four cents.
