    About Prostitution

    Prostitution has been called the oldest profession in the world and it seems likely that humans have always traded whatever they had in exchange for something they needed - and the one thing that a human always has is their own body.

    Everyone trades something about their body, so why not sexual activity as well?

    An interesting argument against the legalization of prostitution has been raised. According to Scott A. Anderson, prostitution should be considered a violation of one's sexual autonomy.

    In direct response to the argument that sexual activity should be treated like any other commercial activity, Anderson argues that sexual relations are so important, so personal, and so private that no one under any circumstances should feel that they have to sell such relations simply to earn enough money to eat and survive.

    What you think about that ?

      i think if society were different there would be much less sexual frustration, but in today's society i voted for regulated prostitution. but i feel really bad for the prostitutes themselves and get a sense that this is the ugly side of capitalism (where anything can go on the market, potentially even someone else's soul!).
      Take him and cut him out in little stars,
      and he will make the face of heaven so fine,
      that all the world will be in love with night,
      and pay no worship to the garish sun
