Menniger Foundation did a study a number of years ago where the working girls expressed the same level as satisfaction with their work as others in the same skill levels (waitresses, cleaning staff and the like)
No...it is desperation, enslavement to drugs, enslavement to a pimp.
Not really desperation, most of these ladies are attractive enough to attract a single male and make an 'exclusive contract for services' but it's more fun to be making whopee. A lady employed in a "house" does not need or use the services of a pimp
In more and more cases it is foreign women enslaved with the threat of exposure and deportment.
I don't really want to cover Dubya's failure to carry out his constitutional duties and obligations to secure the borders. Perhaps on another thread ;^)
It is the enslavement of young runaways.
Don't believe every thing you see in Hollywood. Do you really believe heterosexual (normal) American males, while in the throes of physical passion would really ignore a lady's plea for help? Again, don't believe Hollywood.
Slavery is wrong and it should be illegal.
No argument there. Puppies should have chew toys available at all times.
Prostitution is bad for society - it is bad for everyone involved.
Probably, just don't see the need for the state to become involved in voluntary adult type activities, except to make an effort to see a disease is not passed and the chances of the participants being killed and injured are reduced. And it would probably reduce the numbers of abortion when immature males confine their premarital hank panky to the 'pros'.
Without it, there will still be adultery and people cheating on their spouses, but when you add the element of monetary gain for the sale of a human body....that introduces the element of slavery.
Trust me, those ladies are not slaves, except to making dumb decisions. And I'm hardly a Kumbaya singing liberal, I believe drug dealers and pimps should be publicly flogged and executed on their third conviction.
and you have a link to this study?
Very skeptical.
“Not really desperation, most of these ladies are attractive enough to attract a single male and make an ‘exclusive contract for services’ but it’s more fun to be making whopee. A lady employed in a “house” does not need or use the services of a pimp”
So let me get this right....you think the prostitutes are enjoying themselves? Is that right?
“Do you really believe heterosexual (normal) American males, while in the throes of physical passion would really ignore a lady’s plea for help? “
What are you talking about?
You are assuming most of these guys are “normal”?
Most “normal” men I know say things like “I would never stoop to having to pay for ‘it’”
So...the type of guys who would go to a hooker? Yeah, I can believe they don’t care much about the prostitute’s situation.
“Probably, just don’t see the need for the state to become involved in voluntary adult type activities, except to make an effort to see a disease is not passed and the chances of the participants being killed and injured are reduced.

OK...you live in a dream world where you think legalization will actually help people.
Here’s a good link refuting that idea....
