Should Prostitution Be Made Illegal In Argentina?

[French jurist]

There's also a big distinction between making love & having sex.
Making love can't be bought.

I never watched Star Trek from day one. (idiotic)

I like watching WW documentaries, not because of seeing the blood, but to know what happened and why it happened.

That clip from my previous post wasn't from Star Trek - it was from Stanley Kublick's 2001 - adapted from a book by Arthur C Clarke.

I like watching these documentaries (and movies) too. But I can't help thinking about all the unnecessary suffering. The PBS special series (produced ~1990?) on Vietnam I watched recently was very interesting to me because I was in Vietnam at the time I watched it, but every five minutes I'm thinking - what lunacy!!!

How much can one learn in a day. Reached my limit for today.

@Montuak posts articulate and expressed eloquently and precisely my view on the subject matter, which I failed to do on my own earlier.

@Joe .. the new stuff you threw at us lately ... needs a pause ... before resuming on this road.

No Bajo. Don't you know that those women whores just do it to get an iphone? Or maybe they must become prostitutes to fill some sociological sex more that's been programmed into them. How silly of them.

Maybe some do it for an iPhone, some do it to feed their family, and some are forced into it. Maybe life is not black and white.

@Joe I don´t want to imply that prostitution is the fault of men, it is the fault of an entire system of thought and belief. I agree with you that there are a lot of instincts at work. But if women were more open to having sex and not asking for anything in return, the demand for prostitution would drop considerably. There is more prostitution in sexually repressed societies.
Women are trained to be prostitutes from a young age. I myself was--I was supposed to get a good education, learn to play tennis, cook well and in return I would get a husband who would pay for the lifestyle my mother thought I should have. We are talking about wall street bankers, not turning tricks on the street corner (the "one client" model of prostitution, or traditional marriage). When I traveled to Cuba I for the first time became the John, as I had more money. This caused me to do serious self examination and question the beliefs I was taught from a young age. It was very painful for me to realize that for my parents my education was just an excuse to get a better john, that I would often go on dates with men for the dinner, make them pay for drinks, or I would dismiss men in a rude manner--all behavior that is considered normal in the modern world.

Buy why blame someone for prostitution? It's always existed and will continue to exist. I don't necessarily agree that it's more common in sexually repressed societies. It's all over the States, Spain, Amsterdam and Australia, for example. I agree that getting educated and becoming well rounded just to score a Wall Street banker as a husband is essentially the same as a high class escort. Women are trained from a young age to look for a provider, and men are trained to look for a trophy wife. At least on some subconscious level.

I think that quote sums it up well...

Japanese Women Boycott Sex With Any Man Who Votes For Tokyo's "Menstruating Women Are Irrational" Governor

[font=Lucida Grande']A Twitter campaign group based in the capital which bills itself as "The association of women who will not have sex with men who vote for (Yoichi) Masuzoe," has garnered almost 3,000 followers since it launched last week.[/font]

[font=Lucida Grande']Although the founders have not identified themselves, in their profile they said:"We have stood up to prevent Mr. Masuzoe, who makes such insulting remarks against women...We won't have sex with men who will vote for Mr. Masuzoe."[/font]

I'm trying to think what we used to call that in the old days - the power of the something... Anyway - sounds like it will be a HIGHLY EFFECTIVE campaign I think... Maybe its just me but I always picture the average Japanese couple standing in the bedroom bowing to each other and ''dozo'', ''onegaishimasu'' etc before they do the deed lol
