I understand where you're coming from, but they don't call it the oldest profession for nothing. It used to be, that women of the temples offered relief to traveling men in the form of rest, food, and sex. It was more of a giving thing, and the women were well respected.Foreward in time comes sexual slavery,forced prostitution, and the making of selling sexual favors illegal. When this happens, the women who did it for the joy of sex often were discouraged from continuing because of pain of death.....prostitution becomes a thing of shame and back alleys.Though many women who do it may have been sexually abused, some women truly do it for the love of the profession and the sex that comes with it.This is why I believe it should be legal, and regulated to ensure the health of all.Noone should feel they are forced to sell themselves. I think pornography is really just prostitution on film.They are, after all, being paid to have sex.
