Maybe I should just realize that even though things may be a temporary/minor fix, it's better than nothing. It's hard for me to justify prostitution on the basis of men in relationships sleeping with prostitutes. Then again, I feel the same way if it were a woman sleeping with prostitutes. I under stand one shouldn't undermine the work of the prostitutes, but I can't help but blame the men who are in relationships who seek out these services. A single person seeking out the services, I'd probably still feel sorry for the guy but I guess if you spun things around and looked at dating as a type of prostitution, then perhaps my statement(s) is/are flawed. Cheating doesn't benefit anyone, really. I have sketchy views on marriage, but that's a whole other story.
Of course, I must add that if a prostitute does not consent to sex and she is forced to have sex that it is rape. I believe that is rape no matter who you are. I'm still uneasy about the pimp thing, though, and *buzz word* glamourization of pimping and being with a pimp. Entrepreneurial prostitution is alright. Something like that. I need to end it here because I'm really tired. lol. I hope this made sense. Also, I guess flawed politicians are just a snap-back-to-reality where they remind us how imperfect we are. Yet another story.
