One thing is what you're saying and another is to physically see people window-shopping in the Red Light District, and see the "underaged" girls staring at you from the windows. <br /><br />There is a part of it that is degrading to women and you cannot not to seize that 'detail' once you're actually there. There is a superb production of Die Entführung aus dem Seraglio by Calixto Bieito that you can catch at the Komische in Berlin, that treats that issue in a very compelling way. <br /><br />I very much appreciate your thoughts but that's not what I wanted to discuss here.

Really?<br /><br />Sex has been around forever and prostitution has been around forever. It is an unadulterated exchange of services, no more or less degrading for either buyer or seller than any other professional relationship in a civilized society.<br /><br />As I see it the same arguments against prostitution – buying or selling – could be made against any professional political, economical, or religious service – politician and soldier, doctor and lawyer, psychologist and priest – you name it. <br /><br />Sexual behavior is a positive, nurturing act, and whether it is given out of love or rendered as a service, as long as it is consensual it is still positive. I cannot fathom how one could think that making another human being experience pleasure for a fee could be degrading or demeaning unless it is degrading to make other people feel good.<br /> <br />Everyone who works "sells" one or more parts of his or her body. Athletes, actors, actresses, construction workers, physicians "sell" their body. The body is what is needed to do physical work. It would be difficult to engage in any profession without the use and therefore "sale" of one's body. <br /><br />Sex and the desire to be touched in a nurturing way are human needs, like drinking water, eating and sleeping. If not a need, after enough time it's certainly high on the list of wants.<br /> <br />Every employed person, in the entire world, is working out of 'economic necessity'. Sex workers are no more 'forced' to work than anyone else is. FORCED is being kidnapped, beaten, locked in a brothel and made to service men against your will. Going into sex work for any other reason - whether it's to save your children from starvation or to buy a brand new BMW - is a CHOICE. Yes, for some it's a choice they did not want to make and, perhaps, one they regret making. Yes, some sex workers hate their job and wish that they could leave it... but so do millions of other people in millions of other occupations. <br /><br />Right now, there are tens of thousands of lawyers, teachers, barstaff, soldiers, etc, crying themselves to sleep because they're desperately unhappy in their work, but can't leave because they have to feed their families. Do we pity the doctor who hates his work, but is 'trapped' by his $500,000 mortgage? Do we feel guilty about 'forcing' the broke waitress to serve us our food, or 'abusing' the hotel cleaner who scrubs our toilets? <br /><br />Why is job satisfaction only critical when the work involves naked genitals?<br /> <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
