Ultimately it comes down to whether or not a person thinks it needs justification.

I think he came across ok, but not great. But fair play to him anyway, he's putting his voice out there.

He (or the editing) seemed to labor the point that he thinks that it's better than going...

Yeah, is a bit unfair, considering how brave she is and how her bravery positively affects clients and escorts.

I'd visit her purely to get to know her. She did the cause a great favour, thought...

Wonderful to see!

Someone who can look past their own moral objections to an issue, and put the welfare & safety of the people involved first. That is what being Christian should be about....

exactly.

A girl having been an escort wouldn't be a positive for me, as I'd be worried that she would maybe want to go back into it.

I know that's maybe seen as hypocritical, having visited...

Just filled it out.

Yes, it would. Just think it's necessary to allow friendships to change and evolve over time and take on new meanings as time goes on.

I don't see why it's necessary to have define "hierarchy" of relationships in your life. It changes at different points in your life, and different roles mean different things to different people....

That's it really.

There's things I would have disagreed with Alan Shatter on and things I would have agreed with him on. But that's what makes him a good politician - he actually has an opinion...

I would hazard a guess that many abolitionists probably do have a problem with no-strings sex. However, they're aware that they would never get public backing for, so they don't crusade against it....

I think the point he was making was about the intoxication really. There's nothing wrong with the mutual attracted people having meaningless sex. It's the fact that being drunk doesn't really put you...

I agree with you on this point. There was a sex-buyer on Rupert Everett's documentary who made the point that two people being blind drunk having sex together is completely acceptable, yet buying sex...

I think the thread is a good idea. The arguments for criminalising sex work are very repetitive, so it would be good to focus on each in turn and deal with fully. Often, when confronted with multiple...

Just watched the second episode.

Found it quite interesting, the diversity in this episode was even more striking than the first.

What was most intriguing was the therapy group in which Rupert...

What annoys me about Tanya Gold's article is that Rupert Everett's documentary was so well balanced, yet she chooses only to only see everything through her own lens. When he shows the positive...

Excellent review and summary of the episode here:

Watched this last night. I've never seen such a well-balanced and in-depth treatment of the subject.

He treats all interviewees with the utmost respect and an open mind. With the women who were...

There's a distinction between a chemical addiction and a behavioural problem.

With a chemical addiction, the problem is partly dependent on the strength of the substance and partly on the...

I don't think I could be an escort - even if I was attractive enough and there was lots of demand for straight male escorts.

But I can think of jobs I think I'd struggle with more than being an...

How come Nick Mai's research is almost never quoted by pros in these debates. It was a well carried out but of research of sex workers in England in 2009, by an academic institution. I realise it was...

Fantastic debater. She speaks very quickly and succinctly, so important in debates where misleading/false statistics are thrown around.

It wouldn't surprise me if someone from Ruhama was actually involved in this. They find a girl wandering the streets - might have been someone's bright idea to contact Ruhama for "expert" advice.
If...

Every professional person has a vested interest. They have to get paid in order to do their job.

By your logic, you shouldn't trust anyone who charges money for anything.

Some GPs are...

West side, how are you qualified to give this advice? Are you an expert or do you even have personal experience?

You're making a lot of generalisations and not helping the stigma around mental...

I think many of the elements of the war on drugs is ridiculous.

The illegalisation of drugs has created a black market and within that market, the worst type of people are involved.
That being...
