(1,250 posts)Sex is not some holy sanctified untouchable entity.
It's fantastic yes but people lionize the damn thing & forget the whole purpose.
What two adults do between each other so long as no party is being harmed is their business.
I don't care if they trade baseball cards for sex.
You cannot control this & you SHOULD not control this.
I will join the fight against sex trafficking all day long.
That's a different issue. That's coercion. That's being forced into doing something against your will.
But every SEXUAL prostitute (as opposed to the general labor prostitutes we all are) is not a victim.
Some CHOSE that life & are in control of their role within it.
Those kinds are actually entrepreneurs.
Talk to this one if you don't believe me.
A woman named Maggie McNeil who tells of her experiences in a blog called The Honest Courtesan.
Whatever two adults decide to exchange with is their business & their business alone.
If it's money, if it's lemon meringue pie, if it's videogames, if it's shoes, if it's concert tickets, if it's a new car, it doesn't matter.
Whenever you get the urge to look down on prostitution & what prostitutes do for a living, just remember that you're a prostitute of a different kind selling your body for pieces of paper & metal.
What difference does it make if you're selling your vagina, your back, your arms & legs, your brain, your wrists & ankles, your neck & spine, your ribs, your face?
A prostitute is still a prostitute.
You're just quibbling over the part that's sold.
Maybe it's jealousy. The general labor whores are jealous that they're not getting the same financial reward as the sexual labor whores.
