RE: Why is Prostitution So Taboo?

in #writing7 years ago

I never said every man woman offering their body for money are forced by a pimp or some criminal. Some are. And governments need to ensure no one is. There may be other people for whom making decent money isnt an option so prostitution makes sense for them. May be it means society at large is forcing them. No one is trying to stop you. They may be trying to stop someone, anyone getting exploited.

To your second point - possibly you are right, but till the way society changes how it looks at prostitution, it may continue to be objectification of people in that business. Unfortunately, it isnt anyone's concern that you want to get quick and easy sex. It is however the concern of people that objectification stops first and then whoever wants to be a prostitute can be one and whoever want to use their services can do so. May be that is why in some countries it is legal, and in some countries, pimping is illegal, prostitution isnt. Escorts are mostly legal in most developed countries.

Sort:  

I agree, and that's why I think it should be legalized. There are people who willingly choose this job, and I felt they shouldn't be forgotten in this conversations.

Also, treating prostitution as if it does have inherent objetification only pushes humanization farther, in my opinion. To other people, they'd interpret like you're confirming it.
