Prostitution is degrading to the morals of the worker, the customer, the handlers, and the society which tolerates it...
Why? ... any explanation would be nice.
Sex is sacred. Whether we admit it or not, sexuality plays a profound role in our sense of self and our relationships with others; our sex drive is intrinsically attached to our need for intimacy. Fulfilling our natural sexual drives and needs with pornography and promiscuity is like fulfilling our hunger with junk food-- it satiates us, but it is profoundly unhealthy and it deadens our taste for more wholesome fare. When we can have one-night stands and pay others for purely selfish sexual gratification, we forget the importance of also providing sexual gratification to others. Promiscuity harms our self-image and our ability to interact with people as other than sex objects.
Prostitution is nothing more than adding profit incentives to promiscuity, which makes all of the problems with it far worse.
