I was dating one....didn't know it until the "massage parlor" that I also didn't know she worked at was on the news one night being busted. Luckily I was at my parent's house watching this all unfold and got to hear my mom say "Isn't that your girlfriend Amber?"

The word 'moral' is often viewed as 'it's just wrong to pay for sex', however hypocritical our culture of nice dinners and gifts of jewerly.

But the word moral on prostitution is more to me about exploting poverty - that it's harmful to the women especially but even the men as people.

There's an ideological libertarian view that wants to ignore the human costs and treat it like a 'commodity' which MUST for Libertarian ideology not have 'government interference'.

Fact is, it's generally a very ugly thing where there's no real avoiding that there are women WHO DO NOT WANT TO HAVE SEX WITH YOU, or they would for free, so that this is really more of a form of - and this sounds oxymorinic but isn't - 'consensual rape', based on economic exploitation.

When you really look at prostitutes, you generally find terrible situations. A recent examination of the legal brothels in Nevada found a lot of terrible things, which one prostitute summarized by saying 'it's like signing a contract to be raped continually'. There are moral issues to taking advantage of women who need the money - or want it, it's more complicated than poverty - most prostitutes seem to have had problems with young, IIRC, being molested. Many have problems. It's not a good situation.

Even the men tend to be people who end up not doing themselves any favors; a recent auto-biographical movie about this highlighted a common issue, as the 'sex addict' he eventually realized he was would compulsively go to prostitutes and then feel very bad wanting to never do it again after.

I don't think the OP likely appreciated the 'moral issues' he included in the poll seeming to refer to 'prudish religious objection to people having fun' or some such.

And I didn't want to walk steel unsupported over traffic, cut thousands of feet of line through green briers, and walk through mud that literally went over my knees. Due to economic conditions, that's what I did. I suppose that makes me a whore, but staying home and playing with my cats doesn't pay the bills.

Now, when you're asking the question, I assume you mean have we ever PAID to do those things, and not just have we slept with someone who did that for a living? Cause it's two different things.
