We really need that adult forum. Between softcore porn threads and exhibitionist members, it is about time.

My opinion in a nutshell: I think it should be legal and I don't generally find it disreputable.

My opinion in a nutshell: I think it should be legal BUT I do generally find it disreputable. I think it is not healthy.There is a reason why most women in this profession have low self esteem, come from hillbilly families and are basically vain and shallow when it comes to their personality.

Of all the honorable things for a woman to make a living in this world like a teacher, doctor, nurse, or even a waitress, a prostitute is definitely at the bottom of our culture and society. This also applies to men. I believe in moral relativism but men and women in these positions are usually not in a good place. I feel it should be legal though because the corporate government has no right to tell us how to live, or destroy our lives.

Jesus Christ bananas, that was hilarious. I'm dying here. All right, in all seriousness, I am positive that applies to some people who choose to sell their bodies. However, I am also positive that it does not apply to "most." As for low self-esteem, there are examples in this very thread that disprove that idea. Well, at the very least, hubris is not lacking.

The very word "disreputable" refers to reputation. I hardly think reputation is important. The general consensus is usually idiotic. However, you're right. It is disreputable by definition. That is simply because most people find selling human flesh distasteful in all of its forms. That doesn't mean it deserves that reputation. It is a matter of definition.

I don't see prostitution as respectable. I was with a hooker once or twice and although it was a good nut I don't remember it being a worthy experience. I felt sorry for the girl but whatever. I fall in love with women who have character.

Way to throw the blanket of judgement over people you've never met. The girls I met at the redlight weren't from "hillbilly families" (I suppose that's a dig where you're from?), they didn't seem to have low self esteem, and they certainly weren't vain or shallow. Prostitution has not always had such a bad rap, and in some cultures it still doesn't. You can live or destroy your life as a nurse, a teacher, a doctor, or a waitress. It very much seems to me like people are making value judgements upon what they assume to be the universal lot of prostitutes in life, those bad things they assume must flow from the job. Pimps are bad, agreed, drugs are bad, agreed, stds are bad agreed...but what, precisely, is wrong with the act itself? I can chalk all of this down to our cultural heritage, but help me lay the blame on selling sex?

Maybe, just maybe, if you tell people how bad their lot in life is, how terrible their chosen profession is, and if you tell them often enough, they might just start believing you? What is it that you do that commands so much more honor or respect than what a prostitute does, and why?

(I'm sure it was a great experience for her as well, having some asshat dump his condescending load all over her :thrust: :thrust: :thrust: "I feel sorry for you" :thrust: :thrust: :thrust:. Not sorry enough to have avoided her services though eh? I say this a clear winner for our "worst things to say during sex" thread)

Hillbilly is an insult, you knucklehead.

I'm pretty sure he's trolling you, hon.

Beantown Princess is an insult, hillbilly is a badge of pride.

[Shell B]

Uh-huh. Hillbilly is used as a compliment all the time and you hear Beantown princess as an insult across the globe. Wait . . .
