Tarashon,

You pose such a great point! I think that the point of Carol’s essay was to provoke this exact response. We should all do a thorough look at our lives where we may be exchanging our talents or abilities for an unworthy cause. I’m so glad that you read this article and your perspective changed! Please share this article with other friends!

Joey,

Thank you for commenting! It’s so great to see a male perspective on women’s issues during this Herstory Month! What you say is very true about how certain women won’t sleep with a man until he spends enough money on them. Prostitution by any other name is still the same thing…selling of one’s goods to an unworthy cause.

WOW….very interesting..definitely never saw prostitution in that way “the exchange of one’s good for unworthy cause”. in some sort of way everyone once in a lifetime prostituted themselves one way or the other. it may not necessary be for sex but like it was mentioned in the article maybe for your boss etc. my question is can you really look down and condone someone for prostitution ( meaning the prostitution everyone knows as sex exchange for money), if everyone is a prostitute in some form or way.

To me, legalizing prostitution is like legalizing marijuana. the issue is trivial. Legalizing either would do away with some of the dangers that come from the illegal trade, but decriminalizing or not it will continue (and flourish at that). I like the point that was made about prositution coming in many forms. Some women won’t take anything to a physical level until a man has spent enough on them that they don’t feel like a ho, when in actuality they just made an exchange of sex for money. With that said, Big ups to all the girls out there who still sleep with men based on their own merit! -JS and o.. I’m a man.
