Sex for sale isn't immoral???? My whole world just broke down... which values are correct then????? Till what level will we lower the moral values next time?...

Respect them for their choice but voice your resentment over the choice made. Then accept the outcome of what your friends' and relatives' chose, because it is their life.

That's exactly what I mean. Neutral

I am amazed that you would try and reverse the decision. I mean in your opinion it is a normal line of work that you would be proud of performing. Razz

Disgusted at your use of words to try and normalise an industry that has always been at the exploit of women is me being kind. You use words like occupational hazzard and choice believing it to be true.

I realy think you should step outside your comfortable life and actually try to understand why prostitution has never been accepted.

You pretend to be understanding at the plight of prostitutes but have no idea what they are. being dignified is probably the least from their minds.

Shrodinger has posted a few examples that i am surprised you find this to be "normal". Prostituting to earn enough money to feed your family and/or village. Asking your husband to move out so a "foreigner" can come for his quick visits? What do you not understand that these women do not have a choice. And HIV is not an occupational hazzard... it is a death sentence.

I hope that my dear you will never face such decisions in life, to starve or sell your body. But please do not pretend to understand and then with 1 stroke brush away all the anguish that these women face. To pretend to be their friends on the one hand and totaly destroy them with "well its your choice, you live with it" simplistic view on life.

Pretty Woman is a movie do not forget that!

Since when have I mentioned that it would be something that I will be proud to do?? Or for that matter - will be proud of having any of my friends or relatives indulge in?

Obviously you have misunderstood the whole point of the matter.

I am not advocating, nor am I protesting against the profession on the whole. I do not judge, and neither am I here to question the choices of so many.

All that I have been trying to say thus far, is that we should not be quick to perceive this jobscope as a means to an end... and that all these women deserve a form of respect, in their own rights.

If you don't share my views, so be it. I am NOT glamourising the profession, and neither am I about to pretend that it doesn't exist. It IS the exploitation of women... but as long as there are people seeking these services, would eradicating it solve any problem?

It is a controversial subject, and I shall not dismiss your views as totally unrealistic, because you DO have a valid point, as do I - and the many people who have posted here, expressing their views. We cannot always view something through a one sided view - there are other things involved that we may not be aware of.

... and if you're asking me to get off my high, comfortable cushy horse - let me just say that often, being emphatic to the plight and situation of others does not require you to actually experience what goes on. Being aware, and viewing it with an open mind - is surely the closest one can get to most things in life.

We are constantly learning. I have learnt from your views, and have been made aware of certain incidences that Shrodinger has brought up, which I may be totally oblivious to, otherwise. Through it all, I have kept an open mind.

I do not claim that my views are right - and everyone should perceive things as such. Neither would I say that yours is the correct one, either. BUT these are OUR own personal views - it would serve us well to read and understand what people from different walks of life tell us, and in so doing, broaden our straight and narrow viewscope. However, it is ultimately our choice.

You have your own set way of thinking,
and I have mine.

I respect yours, because as another being who has taken the trouble to explain to us your stand on the matter - you are due the respect you deserve.
If you cannot agree with mine, I am not expecting you to.
In any way.

watching CNA now about Anna Nicole Smith...

and this topic came to my mind..

so, she married the dude about a century older than her... and then he kicked the bucket and they're contesting her claim to the estate..

now he knew, she knew..

so, it's never a matter of who deserves what, or any morality... if he promised her a pile of cash for her hand in marriage, who are we, or the court to say different?

and seriously, how different is this from sex for sale?

to those who would want to impose their morality on others, remember, you do not have a right.. you may look down on those who choose this way and judge them harshly, but that is your way... do not seek to force those who see differently to come to the same conclusion as you...

and don't condemn those who see things from a different perspective.. i have said it and i'll say it again, these are the beginnings of fascism..
