Thread Name: BS: Is Prostitution Just Sex?
Subject: RE: BS: Is Prostitution Just Sex?
As one of those crazy rightwing Christians, I'll tell you what I'm against: The exploitation of my fellow human beings any time, any place anywhere, be it economic, physical abuse, sexual abuse, slavery or any such. I think, I would hope that this is fairly consistent with the views held by most who are conservative or liberal Christians; Christian in more than just name.

As for prostitution, at it's best, it is a crime against self. It reduces the act to meaninglessness, satisfying an animal urge. It can undermine family stability, self-esteem and it opens one to deadly diseases that are transmitted in intercourse, to name just a few objections. At the same time, I understand the human need for contact and for some, it would seem, there is no other recourse. I would condemn no one but encourage higher goals for one's self.
