Yeah...and that's probably his fault.
My point is: if the service is there it would aleviate the need for some men to find ways of forcing themselves on women that don't want them.
No man 'needs' to force himself on anyone, even if he can't find a sex partner. Stop treating adults like helpless animals. The more it is accepted that women are viewed as mere sex objects, the more rape will be seen as justified. Legalized prostitution will not decrease rape and sexual violence.
And I hate to burst your bubble, but some women are quite happy to exist to solely cater to the sexual needs of men. Thats why they become prostitutes.
Yes, and that stems from low self-worth.

It's his fault that women in todays society won't accept a man who is below a certain level of handsome?
Or maybe they just figured out that sex is fun and feels really good too!

What about women who have sex with their boss hoping to get a raise or promotion?
What about actresses who have sex with a director or producer to get a role in their next big movie?
What about a women who marries for money and not love?
Where do you draw the line between the above, prostitution and the way sex is used in advertising?

Works both ways my friend.

Where do you get off saying they have low self worth?
It is an honourable profession in some countries
Irrelevant. Anyone who would sell their body to a stranger obviously does not have very high self-worth. Sex is not a mere recreational activity, though people treat it as such. Life is created through sex and it's not something to take lightly or that can be reasonably compared to any other service.
No self-respecting person would degrade themselves in such a way. It's common sense.

Forced prostitution isn't the same as normal prostitution. You think the girls down at the bunny ranch are forced into that work?

Unfortuneatly, it is human nature. The world would be a better place without liars and cheats, but I am afraid it will not happen anytime soon. Prostitutes seem to be one of the most honest professions. You know they do not love you, you know they want your money and they know you want sex.
Honesty at its simplest.edit on 10/10/2011 by TheLoneArcher because: Same as ever

Of course sex can be a mere recreational activity!
If the participants in the sexual act are taking precautions (ie the pill, using condoms etc) then the act is purely for pleasure and entertainment not the creation of life.

Give me a break. Men (straight ones anyway) aren't even concerned with their 'attractiveness'.
Social skills can be developed.
That's completely false. I don't know why you're whining about men being shallowly judged anyway when it's women who are always judged in such a manner.

It not about his concern about his own attractiveness. It about him never getting a date because women won't look twice at an unattractive man.
If he is not born with that skill set (and obviously some men are not) then who is going to develop those skills for him? what opportunity is he going to have to be counciled in today's society?
I'm sorry, of course no woman would ever judge a man by his looks, his way of dressing, his confidence level, or his financial success.
HA, HA! What planet are you from???
