I agree with you. I think your post is the best one in the thread really, getting to the heart of the matter, that is the willingness of both men and women to degrade the Divine Feminine for personal pleasure. The fact that they do not even know what they are doing is testimony to the level our society has gone.

So money is more important than your daughters dignity? It wouldn't bother you at all that all sorts of strange men are buying and using your daughter? That shows how much you value your children. Would you also support someone if meth or heroin is what made them happy? It is, however, what they chose to do with their body.


The type of men she chose would be her choice, I would not support the use of meth or heroin, in fact I think it would be quite stupid but not my choice to make for them. I would hope that with the upbringing that my views on meth or heroin would be shared. They would need to face the consequences of using illicit drugs if that is the life choice they make. When people close to you make decisions you think are bad you can't just throw them away and start over. I have an uncle that used ALOT of drugs while growing up in the 60/70's. He is pretty much mentally burnt out now and can't hardly remember his own name. He serves as an example of what NOT to do in my life, does not make me hate him.

I suppose you are asking for my opinion as if this were a vote, so yes my personal morals, ethics and political views do matter and I will state them.
I would vote no form a moral stand point because I believe sex to be something special between a couple in a monogamous setting as part of a family structure. In other words mates showing love for one another.
On an ethics level I disagree with it because, regarding the act to something as trivial as a means to make money and making it publicly acceptable as such lowers it’s value in my opinion. And in turn has the possible consciousness of harming family values and structure even further.
On the political side, I believe legalizing and regulation would only end up costing the tax payers even more. The hiring and creation of OSHA style agencies and task forces would cost the tax payers millions. The prostitution industry would become big business and thus corporatized eventually. Small cat houses would be bought out by large corporate entities (like car dealerships, store and fast food restaurants) and would have the benefit of lower taxes and tax loop hole. In other words, lots of money spent regulating and little money coming from it.
A solution that would seem fair to all I would guess is to legalize as is, and let the participants deal with the risks involved themselves, it’s their body and choice right let them deal with whatever comes. That way the people who are against don’t feel they are supporting with their tax dollars, the nation can take a natural stance as a whole, parents can teaches their children the rights and wrongs as they see fit and the ones who are going to do it anyways don’t have to worry about legal ramifications and wasted LEO resources.

Do you even know the definition of rape or do you just like to sprout the seeds of your close-mindedness with big words? Female prostitutes are consenting to have sex for the money. The completely opposite of rape.


Hrm no actually they are consenting to have sex to gain money so they can live and support themselves or their family. If they have no other job available or they see that this job in particular could help them earn more money they will be inclined to do it; if they choose to. But they should not have to do it the sick society we have become to know is controlled by the bankers and the elites and women should never have to resort to a sick act such as this for monetary gain you are a sick individual if you support this.

So basically they are paying to get raped because these are men they are not connected with in any way whatsoever they are the perverted men like the top hats in the novel 1984 where they rape any women that works in their factory because they are the millionaires same idea same moral same disgusting act.

May humanity learn from its mistakes

This is a true story.


Er, I believe that is a...sort of polite way of enforcing gender separation without saying "because women are inferior and have to be kept separate from men". I say "sort of" because the implication that all men are naturally rapists is incorrect and rude.

Your location in Amsterdam explains your openness to prostitution. Sorry, but Amsterdam is notorious. It's not meant to be a slam on you personally.

When did I say anything about throwing them away? I think people should be helped by their loved ones when they make bad choices. Disowning them should be a last resort.

Who says they HAVE to resort to it? Everyone is entitled to thier opinion, but I fail to see the connection to prostitution and rape?? Agree with or not agree with it has nothing to do with being compared to rape as it is consentual. I would dare say that they would not HAVE to resort to it as I am sure they would most likely make more in a month than I make in a year if it is anything like the pornography industry.

Ok then you remain celibate and cloistered for years and then look at women and see what happens.
This is not to say that there are not cultural differences in India as such, but in this case I get what it is. At the time I thought it was a bit too much, but looking back it makes more sense. Oh yes, and besides if they truly enforced such a thing, the women would not have been allowed to attend the event at all. As it is, it was a matter of courtesy.

We already have a roundabout-style of prostitution in the U.S, disguised as dating. You can head out to the bar and buy a girl a few drinks for less than $20 and get lucky, or drop $50 on dinner. Hell, I've made dinner for about $10 and that's been enough . . .Yet, folks still feel prostitution is morally wrong.

Somehow, by masking it as dating everything becomes totally alright . . . right?

On the flip-side, even if this did become legal, I would never be able to bring myself to blatantly pay a woman for sex - it's outright degrading not only to her, but to the man as well (I think).

Any man, or woman that is renting a prostitute is a consumer actually. I rent people for all kinds of reasons, and so does everyone else. It's called paying for labor, you just happen to have a moral stance, and look down your nose at certain labor I guess.

Right, as people can see from my previous post I support women who CHOOSE to go into prostitution but I believe it should be regulated. (same view in regards to cannibis tbh). I am not and never have been a prostitute.

Stop spouting all this 'dehumanises' women nonsense. What, women can't think for themselves? YOU are making out that women are incapable of making choices and are meant to be good lil housewifes who go to church every sunday and never have any excitement in their lives.

All you womens lib types should be proud! Women now manipulate men out of their money by offering sex because men are so easy to tempt (usually)!
Who looks the weaker sex?!

Most of these women choose to do this for fun an money. Yes, I said fun (don't keel over on me now ok?). Believe it or not women enjoy sex JUST AS MUCH AS MEN! ( are you still breathing? oh good )

Oh and the person who said supporters of prostitution are perverts? Yes. Yes I am. I like it freaky and kinky. So sue me.

Funny you should mention that. The term 'date' wasn't popularized until the 50's. 'Courtship' is what largely occured prior to that. 'Date' was originally a term only used to refer to a "meeting" with a prostitute.

Why do you assume that prostitution opposers don't have disdain for those types of hookups as well?

I would say the man would be a consumer. However to some degree I would say that all humans are users to some degree.


I would hope that with the upbringing that my views on meth or heroin would be shared.

No I do not. It is not something I would do, but I have no right to tell others not to.

You can explain your point of view to someone and that may be helpful I find it disturbing that people would consider disowning them as even a "last resort". Disowning = throw away.

Its far from consensual the women are doing it for the money for sick pigs who support it like you.

And I agree with your statement, how far dose humanity have to go before we realize we need a set standard of morals to adhere by. What’s next after legalizing and regulating adult prostitution, child and animal prostitution? Where dose it stop if we don’t have that moral code to live and manage by. The “if it feels good, go for it” mentality is bringing us as a race down.

I left this thread because it is getting just ridiculous. People wont respond to the facts and only want to throw their opinion out there as the end all be all.

But if someone is WILLINGLY AGREEING to do it, even if only for money, that means it is consensual. You dont get to change the definition of a word to fit your argument.
