Prostitution

I found it intriguing to hear that they are now calling prostitues sex trade workers. Im not really sure what I think of this actually. Changing the name and calling it a trade makes it seem like its an ok thing for people to do. It confuses me because I dont really know if i consider prostitution wrong. I mean I wouldnt do it myself, but if someone else chooses to sell there body what makes that wrong? If both people are willing its not rape.However, I want to make it extremely clear that I think there is an extreme difference between people who want to engage in prostitution and children and women who are forced into it and used as a sex slaves.However, I want to point out that there are women who chose to take that route. So the next question is why do some women want to sell their body? I believe this want that some prostitutes have, is largely influenced by this heavily thrown about concept of sex. I know there are some women who feel they must meet a mans sexual desires and they have no objection against it. So who are we to tell them that their beliefs are wrong? Thinking deeper into it I wonder if it is wrong to most people cuz the element of money is involved in it. I think of this because there are people who will sleep around with lots of people just for the fun of it but they have more dignity then a prostitute and the only thing that seperates them is this concept of money. It really is curious why does money make something so wrong. I mean it seems like society is somewhat testing our limits. In the movie get him to the greek the main character states what is the point of being monogamous when there are soo many women out there.So why is somewhat less of a problem for people to go to a bar every weekend and come home with a different guy each time, then it is to get money for doing that? Is it because somehow it reflects on society as a whole? This issue about what to do about prostitution is so complicated and incorporates many elements in life. If you wanna stop prostitution you have to stop strip clubs, porn, and sexual exploition. Well it is nearly impossible to shut down all of those things. I mean just think about the media they stem around this sex sells idea. They make a lot of money off of it just a prostitutes make money from having sex. Our society contradicts itself because in a round about way we are promoting it yet at the same time we are saying its wrong.You can have someone tell you prostitution is wrong then go listen to a song they like thats about banging bitches(excuse my language)Prostitutionhas stemed from many other influences and to get rid of prostitution you would have to get rid of all the other things that cause it. With such a complicated issue I believe more needs to be done to control it. Because as we know just because people are told something is wrong doesnt mean they are not going to do it. The people who sell and buy prostitution need to be given other oportunities to fulfill there wants in a way that is not harmful to either person
