Personally I could care less if it's money or drugs. I thought you were trying to draw a comparison between the two. And I wouldn't say she's selling her body. She's selling her virginity. It's one night. The whole "selling your body" thing makes it sound much more extreme than it really is. It's just sex.
I wonder if these same people think you're "giving your body away for free" when you're just having sex and there's no money involved.
Does anyone really think of it in those terms?
When I have sex, I'm no more "giving my body away" than I'm taking somebody else's body away.
If something can't be given away, how can it be sold.
In fact, the original occupant of the body in question is still sovereign over the body, still the sole occupant, proprietor, and custodian
of said body, monetary exchanges notwithstanding. There is no way to transfer ownership of one's body to someone else. You can't sell it, even if you wanted to. You can't even rent it out, because no matter what kind of sexual hijinx you get up to with another person,
you- not they- are still the sole occupant of your body (and they're still the sole occupant of theirs).
One can't "sell one's body", unless one sells it to a medical school as a research cadaver... and then they can only collect it after one is already dead.
It's a dumb saying, "sell one's body".
it's alarmist, misleading, and false.
