Prostitution is the act or practice of engaging in promiscuous sexual relations especially for money.
Sex work is the performance of sex acts for hire. Prostitution dates back to 2400 BC.
There are more than 20 different types of prostitution, of which the most popular are street prostitution, brothel, bar/hotel, and escort services.
In Sweden, selling sex is legal but buying sex is illegal. Talk about a catch 22 situation.
LEGALISE PROSTITUTION
Those who want prostitution to be legalised believe that it would reduce crime, improve public health, increase tax revenue, and allow for individuals to make their own choices.
They argue that the legalisation of prostitution is a necessary step in sexual liberation, helps people out of poverty, and gets prostitutes off the streets.
CRIMINALISE PROSTITUTION
Those who are against the legalisation of prostitution believe that the legalisation of prostitution would lead to increases in crime, sexually transmitted diseases such as Aids, and human trafficking.
They argue that prostitution is inherently immoral, empowers the criminal underworld, and promotes the repression of women by men.
IS PROSTITUTION MORAL OR IMMORAL?
AFFIRMATIVE
Prohibition of gambling and alcohol have both been tried in varying degrees in dozens of countries around the world, always with the result of stimulating illegality and sleaze.
The sex industry appears to be no different. All developed economies have conceded that the business is impossible to stamp out.
Tolerating prostitution while leaving it illegal or semi-legal encourages corruption: Police officers are paid to turn a blind eye.
It also renders the workers helpless against their employers.
Until recently, sex slaves who escaped from brothels in most European countries were usually deported as illegal immigrants, which hardly helped the authorities nail their oppressors.
The inexorable trend, in both law and public morals, is towards the legalisation of what is already tolerated.
NEGATIVE
A few years ago, prostitutes disappeared from the pages of medical journals; they returned as "sex workers". Nor did they work in prostitution anymore: they were employees in the "sex industry".
Presumably, orgasms are now a consumer product just like any other.
As for pimps, the correct term is probably "brief sexual liaison co-ordinators".
Replacing the terminology does not change the fact or the act.
The march of the perverse will continue unless people of logic, reason and moral common sense do not take a stand and take action to resist the movement to legalise that which destroys the souls of those who practise it and is a vehicle to infect the nation and those who practise it.
If you see nothing immoral about being a prostitute, would you become one? Would you advise a kid to become one right after high school?
CONCLUSION
People have double-standards. While they scream "Legalise prostitution", they will never allow their own children, siblings or family members to pursue a career in this "profession".
The government officials who do not want to pass these laws are the same people who utilise the prostitutes' services.
Who is supposed to be a prostitute?
If you render "sexual favours", for example, for transport, money, food, airtime, or any other transaction, what does that make you?
If any guy ever bought a lady a drink and ended up getting laid, he bought her. No matter how much she is worth.
If you pay for yours and I do not pay for mine yet performing the same act, is it the money exchanged that makes prostitution criminal? Or is it the act?
...YOU DO THE MATH…
