prostitution...



I believe that prostitution is a wrong way to earn a living. There is some much ‘bad behaviour’ attached to prostitution; drug addiction, control, sexually transmitted disease and abuse. In most countries it is deemed illegal to be a prostitute, and it is thought that it may be a victim-less crime as at the point of prostitution it is thought that no one is unwilling. However, in some cases it may be a forced way of living, or seen to be the only option in which case it would be a crime at its up most; known as ‘trafficking’.

It is defined as offering ones body and sexual services in order to gain financially. It is estimated that around 80,000 individuals are involved in prostitution in the UK alone and that the Poppy project found at least 1500 places offering sex in London. This is an extreme amount, and is obviously a problem. This should not have to be an answer to earning a living, even in today’s current climate. It isn’t not a good idea to trust complete strangers with ones sexual behaviours, you can never know where that person has been or who they have slept with. This is a complete risk to an individuals health and therefore, isn’t it morally wrong, not only to the client but to the ‘prostitute’ as well?

Additionally, is it worth it? If you are found to be ‘kerb crawling’ for a prostitute then you could face a fine, if you do sleep with a prostitute you could contract any amount of sexual diseases or even worse be threatened by a controlling pimp. Not worth the hassle in my opinion. And as for being a prostitute it is a complete disrespect of ones body, if you don’t respect you’re body…nobody will and there is such a stigma attached to it…you end up being labelled as something disgraceful…is that worth it?
