19. I think those who have really stopped and pondered sexual issues have a different response,
GLBT and S.

for me, like most others, the prostitution bothers me less than the ethical breach.

I don't like cheating and I don't like prostitution because of the exploitation of the prostitutes, and I can't see any way (even through legalization and heavy regulation) to eliminate the victimization, but yeah, sex between two consenting people? not a big issue for me.
