the same with pornography. people say "men learn to see women as objects". well, i admit that i've watched porn, but that doesnt make me look at women as objects. its still supply and demand. people are willing to expose themselves on the camera, and people are willing to pay to see the movies.
as long as no one gets hurt, it should be legal
am i right? what do you think?

This is a tough one...because I feel that NO woman should have to sell her body just to make ends meet, and that definitely does happen. Whether it's legal or not, I would still find that repulsive, and wrong. I think though that legalising prostitution is a necessary evil. Making it illegal doesn't stop it, and just allows pimps and clients to abuse prostitutes very easily. The problem with making it legal, is it legitimises it, and makes it seem like a good thing, which I obviously don't agree with. However, I think the benefits of legalising it, outweigh the negative aspects of it. The women working in that industry need all the protection they can get, and sadly, legalising prostitution seems to be the only way of ensuring that. If a woman WANTS to sell her body for money, then that's fine. It's the ones who don't really want to, but feel they have to that I feel sorry for. Same thing with pornography really. But again, if a woman is doing it because she feels she has to, then obviously I don't agree with that. If there are some that enjoy it, then fair play to them. But there are definitely women in pornography and prostitution who are exploited, and that makes me sad.

She stars in the new Stephen Soderbergh movie too.

07.11.2009 - 09:29 Written by Haddonfield on 07.11.2009 at 03:14 I think it can be an exploitative industry, but the women who don't feel forced into it, and enjoy doing it, then that's fine. I know that some women would think it shouldn't be endorsed no matter what. But I don't feel quite that strongly about it. I do agree with some of her views though. I don't think there is really any such thing as "perverted sex" between consenting adults. Unless it involves children, animals, or where force is being used and consent hasn't been given, then I think people should just be able to do what they like. The pornographic industry can, and does exploit some vulnerable women. But the ones who actually enjoy being in it, then I have no problem with that.

07.11.2009 - 18:36 Written by Bad English on 07.11.2009 at 18:19 In the UK it is still illegal, though I think it should be legalised. The examples you're giving being prime examples why I think it should be. As for "perverted sex", yeah, Im sure there's lots of things in porn that would personally disgust me, but my view is, as long as no-one is forcing me to watch it, or participate in it, then people can do what they like.

27.11.2009 - 02:04 Written by Angelic Storm on 07.11.2009 at 18:36 In our country it's not the act of prostitution that is actually illegal it's the activites that surround it. For example, running a brothel and kerb-crawling are both illegal as is causing, inciting or controlling prostitution for personal gain. Almost every act up until the final selling of sex is illegal which is crazy! Not long ago ministers had considered a ban but ruled it out due to an aparent lack of public support which seems a bit strange to me.

27.11.2009 - 02:09 Written by Immortal on 27.11.2009 at 02:04 No, it's not crazy. I actually agree with all those things being illegal, in particular, "causing, inciting or controlling prostitution for personal gain". Most of the people who make money off prostitutes, are brutal, and ruthless, and certainly don't care anything about the prostitutes they use for financial gain. Pimps should definitely be prosectued with the full powers of the law.

27.11.2009 - 02:17 Written by Angelic Storm on 27.11.2009 at 02:09 I meant it was crazy to make all of those things illegal bar actually selling sex itself. As in criminalizing someone whose sole purpose is to pay for a legal service.

27.11.2009 - 02:23 Written by Immortal on 27.11.2009 at 02:17 It isn't crazy, seeing as some prostitutes are the only victims in the equation. Kerb crawling isn't as severe as pimping, which definitely should be labelled as criminal activity and punished as such, but it still supports an industry which is harmful to at least some of the women in it.

27.11.2009 - 02:36 Written by Angelic Storm on 27.11.2009 at 02:23 I think you may have misunderstood what I'm trying to say. Yes, the prostitutes are always the vicitms in the sex trade, but this is made even worse by only illegalizing parts of the industry. It's too hazy as to how to go about gaining a legal service through chains of illegality. I'm saying, why not completely illegalize every aspect of selling sex or completely legalize it, not a bit of both.

02.12.2009 - 16:21 Written by Immortal on 27.11.2009 at 02:36 Pimping is probably the worst aspect in prostitution, and I think this is something that should still be criminalised, even if prostitution is made legal. Kerb crawling isn't quite as bad as pimping, but is still morally reprehensible.

The whole thing should simply be made legal over here. A- The hygene of the girls would be controlled by the state, regular check-ups. B- You create a new tax, putting money into the state rather than in the pocket of exploitative pimps. C- You lower the percentage of sex crimes because sexually frustated people can fulfill their urges in a legal maner. D- You eliminate all exploitation and create a safe environment for those on the job. E- Sex would become less taboo, more acceptable in society, thus more a norm, which will in the long run also lower the percentage of sex crimes. I would never use prostitution but there are so many reasons to legalise the trade. PS: I'd also apply this to some drugs.

Yep, I would legalise prostitution for all the reasons Haddonfield listed above. Aside from "Sex would become less taboo, more acceptable in society, thus more a norm, which will in the long run also lower the percentage of sex crimes." I don't see how legalising prostitution would make sex become less taboo. At least not in a healthy sense. Though I do agree it probably would lower the percentage of sex crime. But yeah, although I have some resevervations, I think the benefits of legalising outweigh the neagatives, and therefore it should be legalised. I also think most drugs should be legalised too. For similar reasons for why I think prostitution should be legalised.

Anyone else have a hard time getting over the addiction to porn? I think I got into it so young, that it became impossible to get out. I watch a lot less porn now... considering I'm married, but it seems impossible to just completely let it go. I hate it.

"Pornography tell lies about women, but pornography tells the truth about men" Some quote I found a loooong time ago, and I do believe it's true. Men are stimulated by visuals, whereas women usually are not. I find nothing really wrong with pornography, but I do not think it's a healthy thing either. People become addicted to it. The people in the industry, well, they are pretty messed up half way through their careers thanks to drugs and exposure. And in a way, pornography is kind of like prostitution, your getting paid to have sex, though it's much more than you would get on the street BUT it's filmed and put out for everyone to see. To me, anything involving sex seems to always be what makes society close it's eyes. People fear sex for some reason, and want to contain it and restrict it. Which isn't right. Pornography makes women seem like eager, desperate, orange, big boobed, plastic whores, honestly. Hence why most women look down upon it. Like for example, I am a pin up model. I pose partially nude, in underwear, or other outfits for a living, but the way I do it, is not trashy. It's art to me. But I still get looked down upon by women, some men, because of my lifestyle. Like I said, it's just how society fears sex, but sex sells. As for prostitution all around, most people who get into prostitution are like people who get into drug dealing. It's hardly a choice, it's a last resort for most who have nothing else to turn to. Because when your on the streets, drugs and sex sells fast too. And most girls in prostitution are unwed mothers, or abused mothers, teenage mothers, drug addicts, etc. It's never like a girl really thinks "I want to walk around the street having sex with old men" [because from cases I've seen, almost all men that pick up prostitutes are older married men]. And I don't think it's right, not at all. It's a dangerous lifestyle. STDs, murders, drugs, and abuse are all part of that.

Some prostitutes choose to do it because it's good pay for little work. If you legalise prostitution then you take it off the street and you can ensure that prostitutes get sexual health checks.

I have noticed that western documents about "life in czech" (and further to the east) are as real as rumors in The Sun or Der Bild...but in this case it may be particularly true, there really are gypsy (Romanian to be more politically correct) gangs abusing and trading girls...but how can police strike them and not to be accused of racial discrimination

14.06.2010 - 00:34 Written by Angelic Storm on 13.06.2010 at 20:04 Because I think it's a fairly safe assumption that women in pornography are being exploited. I don't actually have any case studies to whip out here, but it seems likely. If we can admit that young girls are kidnapped and forced into prostitution then it follows that similar things occur in pornography. While I don't have any evidence, it seems more logical to me to assume that it is going on, given the nature of the industry among other things, than to assume it isn't.

Ive said before I only have no problem with women in pornography, if they arent being exploited. But how do you tell? Who is, and who isnt? Personally, I find the whole industry reprehensible, but as long as nobody is being hurt, then people should be allowed to do what they want. I wouldnt say all women in pornography are exploited, because Im sure that isnt the case. But Im sure there are a good number in the industry who are.
