I agree but not whole heartedly. I don't think there is a need for prostitution at all. Women used to do it back in the "olden days" because they thought they needed money desperately...alot of prostitutes do it to feed their drug addictions. I don't care if the woman is poor or has no qualifications..work in a supermarket or somewhere..there is always work for someone, you don't need to turn to prostitution.
However, because there is no way prostitution will ever stop, I think that it should be legalised but controlled. Their should be health checks, and you should only be allowed to do service in a brothel or other building of the same purposes, that way the prostitutes are safe from harm, they will get regular checkups, and other people don't need to see them or stumble across one in a dark alley when you had no intention of doing so.
I wish sometimes that some men would go to prostitutes more often so that they don't use women as much...and likewise for the women who just use men for sex...at least that way you could own up to the fact that you like sex freely, rather than pretending you don't sleep around...I'd respect someone
slightly more for owning up and seeing a prostitute...
Both of my parents were laid off at some point, and both tried to find new jobs. Months on average passed before my mother could find a job, and the same went for my father.
I was recently looking for a job for myself. The local supermarket (like your example) is known for giving teens psrt-time jobs. I filled out an application there, went in for an interview, and was blown off. (And no, my interview wasn't horrible.) In fact, if my mother wasn't working at this company now I'd have still have no job.
While none of us turned to prostitution, my point is that employment isn't as easy as you make it out to be. Even if it's "working in the supermarket or something."
Besides, not all prostitution is out of necessity. I know at least one person who was a sex worker and enjoyed her job. While that doesn't mean every prostitute on earth loves what they're doing, the reverse isn't true either.
