the comments are interesting too in the article.
what i always find fascinating is how people adjust their prejudices. those for criminalizing the buyer say that prostitution is wrong, but then if you point out that every relationship or marriage is prostitution itself, and they will say that it is an acceptable form of prostitution.
People are kind of strange. they decide what is right and wrong to suit their desires. so a woman selling her body for hard cash is wrong, but a woman who gets bought a new pair of louboutins by her boyfriend is in love or whatever( even though its a trade all the same). They cant say prostitution is wrong and say relationships are acceptable. both are the same thing, but one is accepted and one isnt
