Normally, people say that PSPs and the patronage of sites are immoral acts and are further contributing to the deterioration of society.
To which my response is: Who assigned YOU to be the moral police?
I asked a few people what acts they consider as fundamentally immoral. They mentioned murder, rape, adultery, and child abuse. I further inquired why such acts were immoral. They answered that these acts are immoral because they clearly infringe on the rights of others. In other words, their is clearly a victim in such acts.
But what about prostitution? Who is the victim in prostitution?
Is it the client? I don’t think so. He paid for a service and he received a service.
Is it the PSP? I also don’t think so. Unless coerced in the world of flesh trade, she has willingly and voluntarily chosen that way of life.
I know some moral pundits will say that the PSP is the victim because she had no choice and that poverty has forced her into that life. In that case, shouldn't’t it be poverty then that should be considered immoral?
There is the stereo-typical PSP, the one that was scammed into the seedy world of prostitution, brought to the metropolises with promises of wealth and comfort, only to discover that the bed she will lay upon is not one of roses. We see this stereo-typical PSP in movies, books, TV shows, and sensationalistic news articles.
I, on the other hand, have experienced the PSP in the hand as an escort (I did this just to experienced something new and put myself into deeper water), and I asked some of my friends who have experience with escorts. The great majority of them have consciencely chosen that way of life. Yes, they are not proud of it. Yes, it’s a hard path to take. But it doesn’t make it immoral.
So I want to know: If one person finds prostitution immoral, what exactly makes it immoral? Please tell me who is being affected, whose rights are being violated, who is being hurt or who is being deceived.
