Prostitution must be legalized

[Tomasito]

We are all whores. We've done something with our bodies we wouldn't done if we hadn't gotten paid for it. We do things every day that we wouldn't do if we had a billion dollars. When we reach the point of having so much money we no longer have to put out. We become the procurer, the customer. I'm a whore. All actores are whores. We sell our bodies to the highest bidder. I do everything for a reason. Most of the time, the reason is money. The same argument against prostitution could be made against any professional service: psychologist, doctor, lawyer and priest. Many people say that prostitution is immoral: morality is the belief of the person. I don't consider is immoral. Everyone who work "sell" one or more parts of they body. Athletes, actors, actresses and construction workers "sell" their body. The body is what is needed to engaged in physical work. It would be difficult to engage any profession without the use and therefore sale of one's body.

Athletes, actors, actresses, doctors, psychologists, lawyers and priests don't "sell" their bodies in a way that spreads diseases (many incurable) to their employers, who then pass those diseases on to their wives. (Don't give me that ridiculous argument that the government can prevent prostitutes from spreading disease by checking them every week or month.)

Secondly, people of those other professions are not procured by pimps into their work, and I've never met anyone who was forced through beatings and the threat of death to practice the medical or legal profession, although this is one of the common ways prostitutes are kept on the job.

So far I have never met anyone who has been kidnapped, taken to a foreign country and forced to be a psychologist or a priest, but I have met escaped prostitutes to whom that has happened.

Most prostitutes don't choose their profession willingly, but are in some way coerced into it. None of the people in those other professions you mentioned are subject to that kind of coercion.

Lastly, disease and the physical and mental stresses of prostitution -- not to mention murder -- cause the women to die prematurely, which is not true of other professions.

Tomasito, you sound like a sad man who visits prostitutes and is struggling to rationalize that choice.

This is not my own text. I brought from a debate session occurred in my english school last month, so I think we can discuss it together.

Then I apologize for the insinuation I made.

Well it's said to be the "oldest profession".

When Tom of Flat Rock lost his wife to a saber-tooth cat, he needed something other than his hand... so he walked a mile to the village of Frothilla of Round Hill and exchanged a sloth's claw (about $20 back then) for a piece.

hehe

If all prostitutes were prostitutes because they really wanted to be prostitutes, I wouldn't have a problem with it. But as Jamie showed, personal choice is often not the way a woman goes that way.

Not every prostitute lives in Amsterdam.

All that is aside from how I personally feel about it... Gs up, hos down. hehe
