People want Ho's off the planet but their in high demand mainly by men.If people where not so digusting then may be we could cleanse society?

Is being a slag the in thing too,after all 50cent,Ja rule have them

what do you all think?

@Char-Char

I dont think it would be a good thing if all prostitutes were got rid off because I do believe they provide a much needed service to the community.

Men have and always will use prostitutes for fun...variety...sexual experience and often for necessity.

I;m sure that many stable but sexually empty marraiges would not have lasted if it were not for the man paying for extra marital sex. Many women would prefer their men to go to a prostitute than fall in love with another woman. I have known women who secretly know their men pay for sex, but they turn a blind eye to it. If that men was to fall in love with someone, that would be a different story altogether.

Many men have taken their adolescent sons to visit an "experienced woman" and so ended their son;s virginity. Difference is they have sought out a kind, patient and compassionate hooker instead of a cheap street walker.

There are many kinds of prostitutes so we cant lump them all together as being generally bad. There are women who dont class themselves as prostitutes at all, but they have sex with men who are suffering confidence or impotent problems. They are like a kind of surrogate girlfriend. The women who do this job are proud and consider they are providing a great service to the less fortunate men.

I also think that bad things can happen to a man who has a strong sexual desire that is not fulfilled. I;m sure there would be even more serious attacks on ordinary women and children if it were not for prostitutes. I think its fine for a man to pay a woman to dress up as a schoolgirl and have sex with him. Maybe if that fantasy were not fulfilled he may try for the real thing.

In the course of my life and work I have met a few prostitutes. Most were not sexy, glamourous or sordid creatures. They were plain and looked more like someone;s comfy Auntie or a librarian. These women were very low key, kind and understanding. Some catered for the geriatrics of society...old men who maybe had lost a much loved life partner. Some of their clients were disabled or house-bound. I dont see why these people should be denied sex if someone out there is prepared to service them.

So its a very broad subject but like any other obviously there are good and bad aspects to it. niceone.gif

@Char Char. I agree with Locsgirl but coming from it slightly different.

1. No society should promote prostitution and should work to ensure that the women in its society and culture have options which makes that type of consideration less attractive.

2. Having said that whether we like it or not human beings are human beings, if fundamental needs are not being met they will get around laws, moral expectations to feed what has to be fed. You can execute and cut off hands, but women and men will be adulterous if they are not being valued or have basic needs met. Simple.

3. Would I go out with a prostitute? Well a serving one. Never ever. Would I consider going out with an ex prostitute slightly more complicated.

Every person has the right to fall and rise and become a better person and leave that aspect behind them. If we can except Malcolm X who was a pimp[selling our women] by same token the same principle must apply to women servicing the punters so to speak.

How I would feel knowing that a woman's past became public news, could not tell you, because everything depends on the woman, and what given your rational calculations and feelings when weight up tell you. Some women are worth the world others not, whether they be ex prostitutes or so call Hollywood glamour icon.

So it depends. In Algeria many of the most famous and courageous women leaders who organised terrorist campaigns against the French were ex prostitutes who knew how to trap men. So understanding these things means one has to think carefully.

Hey but that's me. But I don't want to hear nothing about her ex life and stuff. Can't work....

Locsgirl when i read your post i had to pinch myself to remind me that we are stillin the 21st century!!!! I thought OMG!!!!

Then I thought leave it.

Anyway, Char-Char - Ifairly recently read an intro to a book on the internet about the truth of prostitution. I found it really fascinating. It was written by an ex-prostitute and she was relaying the information that apparently it is mainly inadequate men of society that visit prostitutes.

Many peoplehave this image that it is the men that are in control and that the woman is always the victim - but shewas saying that mainly that was not so.

I had to research this topic as part of a project. It really was very interesting, but we all should remember that there are victims out there - illegal traffickers of women and children that we all should be aware of and fight for them.

Incidentally, apparently there is a growing demand for male prostitutes for women, and women had also hired other women too.

I'll never knock prostitutes (women), but I will knock those incredibily dumb men, whothink that that is all a woman is there for - sex!

@athaba

I always have to see many sides to any argument or situation in life. Therefore I have to point out the many faceted sides to prostitution in general.

I saw a documentary once about a family of apes in the wild, and the females prostituted themselves to the males for extra fruit and nuts from their stash!

Isn;t there a familiar form of trading that passes between men and women in everyday life.

Society shows through advertisements daily that the guy with the best and most expensive car will get the honey.

I;m not saying this is right but thats the way many people are unconsciously going on.

So many times women have conveyed to me that they "put out" after maybe weeks of frostiness to acquire that new washing machine....holiday....outfit whatever! That is often the way of the ordinary woman in a comitted relationship. She sees it as the perks of being married.

I know there is a Terrible and seedy aspect to prostitution and sex industry, but there is also another breed of women who exchange sex in a completely different way. Some prostitutes only service the very old or disabled but they do their work very quietly and privately and remain anonymous.

I have even been told by several nurses that on occasion they have done a sexual favour for a male patient where there was nothing in it for themselves.

Its actually a bit mind boggling how deep this subject is when you start looking at it in all its aspects.

I also think that bad things can happen to a man who has a strong sexual desire that is not fulfilled. I;m sure there would be even more serious attacks on ordinary women and children if it were not for prostitutes.


Hi blackbeauty!

I thought the extract was self explanatary - couldn't you see it? No? OK, I was thinking how can any one think that if it was not for prostitutes men would somehow be succombed to attacking women and children - isn't that a bitlike saying men are only about sex and they cannot controlthemselves?

Blackbeauty - i recently studied the subject about women and prostitution in Victorian Britain - its very deep, but trust me it was all about how men saw women in different catorgories i.e wife = middle-class/housewife/childbearer - (they did not understand that either!) and working class women = whores. In a nutshell, methinkswhat Locsgirl said would had made them proud!!!

@locsgirl

Yeah I know,the subject is very very deep, but isn't it extremely fascinating too! If you understand the history ofit here in Britain, bizzarely I thinkpeople wouldunderstand the connection ofmen's type offetishes/sexuality oftoday!

@athaba

I know that there will Always be the sick twisted psycho who is only content by Actually harming women and children for Real.

But some men have a fantasy that can easily be restrained by acting it out in a safe manner by employing a sex worker.

In countries where the sex industry is legal like Holland and Scandanavia their statistics for sex crimes against women are lower than ours.

Interestingly so are their statistics on teenage pregnancies.

The Victorian period of British history shows how dark people;s sexuality becomes when they are repressed by societys morals and laws.

Bonsoir Ã* Tous!

Very glad to find you again. I hope that all of you have a good day.

what about prostitution. One of You say: like every topic there is good side and bad side. And I agree with that. I will never condemn someone that use the services of aprostitute. Anyway if they exist that mean somewhere that people need them. Is it good, is it bad ? We are adult and have makedecision. But I share Locgirl's opinion, so I respect these women. And before judjing we need to try understand why men go and see these women.

that sort of practicein this case no problem, but youhave another sort of practice like with children and in this case I condemn it. but is not the topicfor today.

That is true there isa great difference between sex and feel love for someone. One day, on radio I heard a juge that love a prostitute. And afterthey stay together....But the worse is the colleagues of this judge rejecthim because heget marriage with her. He lost every thing even hisjob. That situation touch his wife a lot. They did what they could to change the situation. But nothinghas changed. So the woman stop her life (suicide).

That shows us a big problem of tolorance and hypocrisis. That story is true and it is happened in France.

soPARIS VOUS DIT BONSOIR A CHACUN ET CHACUNE

@All prostitution as an institution is not unique or cannot be reduced to Victorian England[Abatha]. It exists and can be shown to exist in anthropology and historical studies from a very long time in various forms.

So unless I understand incorrectly I can't see what Locsgirl said can be reduced to one simple form. I am not a white Victorian, or do not orginate from them. But my forefathers evolved similar institions and the issue is why.

My forefathers also evolved things like polygamy etc.

So I think and could be wrong that there is slight confusion about the arguments and what is being argued.


Fredniceone.gif

blktypeThere is no real argument fredblack. If you noticed i did want to leave that subject but blackbeauty asked a question.

Its justthat locsgirl remarksreminded me of what we were taught.

I did not say that prostitution originated from Victorian Britain - that would be silly! I was referring to the concept of how women were perceived then and what locsgirl wrote seem to fit thier mentality.



@locsgirl

The Victorian period of British history shows how dark people;s sexuality becomes when they are repressed by societys morals and laws.

blktypeYes they were supressed locsgrirl, but i hardly think it warrants the idea that men OUGHT to be with prostitutes. Its that they really did not understand WOMEN's sexuality at all.

As for today, saying that men would harm others if prostitutes were not there - given what you say is true -what is that saying about men?

And what does it say about women?

@Fredblack

Right on Fredblack. clp)

I also have to say one more thing to add to this discussion. Across the road from me lives a middle-aged woman who dresses transvestites up in the full kit....make up hair clothes etc. They then leave her house, go for a walk in the park for an hour and return to her to change back into their male attire again.

Some people in our street condemn her for the service she provides. I do not. A lot of her clients before they met her had to visit prostitutes to get the same service, and were charged fortunes even though they did not require a sexual service. So they are very grateful that she does this for them.

So again we cannot place her in the same category as a prostitute even though many people see her business as sordid.

Initially she trained at college in stage make-up with no idea what direction her business would take her in. But she has found a niche for herself which would not suit everyone but provides her with an income and the benefits of knowing she is much appreciated by her clients.

I think if it was legalised and done in a proper environment there would be nothing wrong with it.

Plus the prostitutes can pay some tax on their earnings which may help to lower mine!!! lol

And i agree, sometimes when things are hidden it causes all kinds of seediness, but when it is managed and out in the open it might make a difference.

Not everyone who uses a prostitute is nasty, sometimes they may have difficulty getting connected with women on a general level / have embarrassing fantasies / dont want to commit / likes how the prostitute makes them feel. It's their money / choice.
