Edit to add my opinion so I’m not just replying “I agree” to 90% of comments. I think it should be legal, properly regulated, taxed and viewed as a profession. I haven’t personally engaged in it but I have no moral objection to it. I do hate the common sentiment that it was the individual’s “only option” though.
One of the commenters said it was fundamentally gross to them…
It’s fundamentally depressing to me: intimacy’s … unending.
There’s no such thing as “a 1-night stand”, or “just a fuck” … you’ll never be unmixed with that someone…
& doing it as mere-transaction, or mere-physicality … ??
but apparently that view that most of a someone isn’t physical, & most of sex isn’t physical either, is deemed to be nonsense,
& pretending that merely-physical is “all that exists” is actually common …
so, my perspective is deemed lunacy or idiocy by this world.
But seeing women being used for mere-physical sensation by random strangers, as a purchased-transaction … that’s depressing…
I wish the world didn’t work that way.
I’m with all the people who want prostitution not-criminalized, who want it taxed & regulated, & I’d add that I want pimping criminalized: let women form cooperatives, or something, but nobody should coerce anybody into the biz of being used bodily.
