Should prostitution be legal?

[Napoléon]

Those jobs are essential and i don't see any comparison.

Essential?

Working in a fast food chain is essential?

Okay maybe a lot of Americans need their daily serving of Big Macs but being a burger flipper is certainly not an essential job.

Besides, how do you define essential?

I used those particular jobs to try and make a point. That it's nothing to do with what you consider 'a good career choice'. Some don't have the skills to do better paid more 'reputable' jobs, some people are just suited to that kind of work, and some people do it even though it's not actually their chosen career path at all, but rather a part time/full time employment that gives them money when their natural career choice is not viable for whatever reason. I mean, I'm pretty sure the percentage of us that actually get to do our chosen career choice in life is far smaller than those who don't get that chance.

The essentialness of any job doesn't determine whether it's a 'good' career choice, and regardless of whether you think it is or not, who are you to tell people what they should do for a living?

Not gut feeling , just what i have read though.Aside from the physical problems , emotional scars like 'Feeling dead inside during the act' , 'losing touch with your own intimacy and sense of erotism' , percieving sex as routine and mechanical , numbness to the physical and emotional sensations , difficulty maintaining loving relationships and basically , not enjoying sex anymore .

And I've read that every prostitute in the world loves their job. Does this mean I'm right?

(Note, I haven't actually read that, but I'm just trying to make a point, what you may or may not have read doesn't make it correct)

Not an argument , an opinion.

An opinion is just as guilty as an argument of committing a fallacy.

It's semantics.

Yeah, does sound like you've just got an irrational problem with sex.

Because im not keen on porn ?

Not really why I said that, although it was a contributing factor.

I do consider being against legalising prostitution to be an irrational position. Considering you're against it (which I think is irrational), and you're also not a big fan of porn, it does seem to suggest you perhaps have an irrational problem with sex.

Or is that too much of a conclusion to make? Well, let's just call it a hunch.
