Any thoughts?

Should A Woman Have The Right To Prostitute Herself?
ABSOLUTELY YES. IF POLITICIANS DO IT BY BUYING TIME ON MEDIA, THEN COME ON.............
i am against political prostitution however, because government is not their body its a public thing, they dont own it.

But you do realize that prostitutes used to be called "public women." So, why should we discourage political prostitution merely because government is a public body?

Adults have the right to have consentual sex, so why should a woman not have to right to consentual sex and charge a little money for it? As an odd side note...I knew a couple (who are now divorced for obvious reasons) in which the husband would have to pay the wife to have sex with him. Just out of curiosity, in this situation, would you pay your wife to have sex with you? Or would you be of the mindset that if you have to pay for sex, you might as well pay somebody else, just to spite the wife?

I probably would not give a fee for services in exchange for sex with the wife. The reason for this is that wives get "paid" in other ways. I am 43 years old and so far there have been 15 occasions upon which a lady of the evening has attempted to convince me to purchase her professional services. Based on these discussions, I have gotten the impression that the sort of guy that would buy a prostitute's services often does not feel that he is under any obligation to try to make it pleasurable for her. On the other hand, with a wife or a girlfriend, there is an obligation to at least try to pleasure her. Moreover, since women tend to "marry up" economically, they are, in a way, getting paid for having sex with their husbands and boyfriends. Would I have sex with a prostitute? Only if she marries me first.

Only if men enjoy the same rights...

But I generally believe it is a moral obligation to give them the information to make intelligent choices instead. Then any woman dumb enough to be a hooker can do it. We really should do more to educate the poor.

Are you saying that a smart woman has no right to sell her body to the night? What IQ would be the cut-off point ? What if she's smart but poor and has no other way of making money?

I suppose I'll allow that a man should also have the right to take up a career as a prostitute. But I'm wondering whether there would be enough women willing to pay for it (or, conversely, whether these male prostitutes would simply end up serving male clientele, regardless of personal preferences).

I'm suggesting that prostituting one's self is indicitive of being dumb in at least one aspect. It's a catch-all. If a woman is smart enough to be a rocket scientist but decides to be a prostitute, she's missing something in her smarts. A rocket scientist woman could easily get laid all she wants with the people she wants, make good money, be able to look at herself in the mirror, and continue being successful up to and after retirement. Not to mention there is less a chance for VD, being forced into a nasty situation she didn't want, or getting killed by some psycho she invited into her home. So if people, after reviewing the facts, still wish to be prostitutes fine.
