The Philosophy and Morals of Paying for Sex

[Dickrogers]

Why don't you guys rent your asses out so if its that easy? You'll make loads of money. No doubt. Off you go and then come back and let on that it's easy.

It would be soo easy but I don't know any sicko who would want to rent my stinky ass out..you asking?

[Dickrogers]

For me a woman's body is her own.

Meaning she can do what she likes with it, like I can.

If that means monetise it or more to the point give up her time, that is her business.

You can't do anything you want with her body unless she wants right?

Regulated services with some degree of training can not be compared to a non regulated service.

I do believe that there should be some sort of escort school.

You're not exactly going to get a good argument on an Escort Website from punters though in fairness Being Irish myself it would be wonderful to work without the stigma but here we are Can't see it changing anytime soon. Grateful for all you lads making it an enjoyable profession all the same

Yeah I think I am degenerate.
I love them ladies and spreading my love to few won't satisfy my inner self.
Hence need to see a lot of them.
And yes I am thankful for them to leave me alone after the deed so as I continue to march forward,lol.

When I red the title of this thread this song came to my mind.

Us and Them by Pink Floyd

Us (us, us, us, us) and them (them, them, them, them)
And after all we're only ordinary men
Me
And you (you, you, you)
God only knows
It's not what we would choose (choose, choose) to do (to do, to do)...

They will not understand Us and why we do what we do...

Enjoy the music.

To compare and contrast Multinationals with an escort is wrong ,the CEO of BP is not meeting the customer putting petrol into his car.Any use of the words good and evil,are antiquated.its not whether its right or wrong,isnt it more of why do you punt or why do you escort.
I punt because there are escorts,
If there werent ye never know what might happen...I swear to gawd officer she made me do it

Can a person even express the view here that it's wrong? Or would they be cancelled? I'd posit that many a man here feels punting is wrong but is beholden to his dick..but what would I know

[Dickrogers]

What do you mean " beholden to his dick "?

How do you think I mean? Use your noodle 🍜

Paying for services is an integral part of modern societies. If my home needs to be rewired then I employ an electrician to do the job, so long as the electrician does a satisfactory job and I pay him the agreed fee then there doesn't seem to be any ethical or moral issue with the contract. The same cannot be said for sex work and this is an issue I would like the community to explore through discussion.
What is it about paying for sex that makes it different from any other service?
What makes an action right or wrong? Is it the outcome? Or are some things just good or evil?
Is it possible to freely choose to pay for or accept payment for sex?
Just because something is illegal does it also make it immoral?
Is the activity of sex in a different class to other activities such as dancing or football?

Below I will list(not exhaustive) some common objections to sex work, bear in mind that I in no way endorse these objections but I think they would serve as a prompt for discussion:
1. Sex work is part of a suite of services offered by criminal gangs: if you pay for sex then you are supporting criminal activities such as trafficking, violence and the black economy.
2. Sex work is a danger to public health: sex work involves increased risk of diseases, everything from the common cold to HIV.
3. Sex workers are modern slaves: sex workers are trafficked by criminal gangs and forced to work, nobody would freely choose to do such a job.
4. People who pay for sex are degenerates: if someone has to pay for sex then there must be something wrong with them, morally, physically or psychologically.
5. It is inappropriate to commodify sex: sex is a byproduct of love, sex is for procreation, sex is with someone you know, sex is sacred, sex is different etc etc.
6. Paying for sex is wrong: it is objectively wrong to pay for sex, it doesn't matter how it makes you feel or if it is a contract freely entered into, some things are right and others wrong.

TLTR, All the anti-heroes/heroes in films that I grew up with paid for sex.

What chance did I have?

Seriously?

Sex workers are the best thing in the world, simple.
