They say prostitution is the oldest profession in the world. To this day prostitution is considered a vulgar profession. Although some radical feminists do consider it to be empowering to women (many disagree). Perhaps this is not the point. Could it be that the reason for these perceptions are not really about the job itself, but just the simple fact that a prostitute earns MONEY at all (at one time it was the only paid job for a woman)? It seems possible that since todays working women, although not selling sex, are expected to work for cash (pimped out), and so there is something vulgar in this expectation itself (explained). Thoughts?

hang on where is it? where is that topic..? I know it's around here somewhere!!..hmm.. you know the topic!.. why do men always pay for dinner. topic.

I guess the topic could be summed up as 'money not sex is the root of all evil, true or false'?

The true and dictionary Meaning of prostitution is selling oneself so everyone is guilty of it at times. If are on sites like this and you have a profile on you are selling your personality.

I think that's a very appropriate analogy. For those of us still looking for stable jobs, we're told to "sell ourselves", to make ourselves "look more attractive" to prospective employers. Our resumes are our advertisements, and our ("voluntary") self-identification is our profile picture.

On the point of actual prostitution as a business, however... Frankly, no matter how much you want to dress it up and make it more legitimate, it's still going to be a blue-collar job. You are being paid for performing manual labor. Anybody who meets the physical requirements could do the job. (Sure, if you add in an emotional or psychological aspect, you could do the job better, but we're talking minimum requirements for the position, not preferred.)
I think - my guess - is that's the part where the pro-prostitution feminists get good and irked. They want to transform prostitution into a white-collar or culturally-respected job. I just can't see that happening, honestly, in any culture.

i have a question... whats the difference if a guys just pays the woman for what he wants in cash, beforehand, with no BS, Talking, dinner, dates or anything else thats a waste of time Vrs spending money on dinner, drinks, dates in general, lots of time wasted for nothing and still spending the same amount of money?
