Blowjobs are a human urge and I don't see animals giving sex as desert.

As someone who holds morality as subjective, I can't condemn someone else's values as wrong, only contrary to mine.

You may have a point but prostitution can only be conceived to exist if sexual taboos render the need for solicited sex. From there, only certain segments of a civilization can remove this stigma and to this we all may belong at some part of our life . . . which in turn is the purpose for sexual taboos.

I agree; it's good if someone gets-off while someone else makes a living.

Who loses? Who should care?

I simply can't consider sex as something that's just 'fun'. Roller-Coasters are 'fun', our sexuality, just as any other aspect of our emotional selves, can have dramatic psychological ramification. My sexuality, just as any other aspect of my emotional self, is far to valuable to me to be solicited as a 'product'.

Could you ever accept money to console a grieving mother who just lost her child?

Prostitution a taboo ... huh, maybe but prostitution is a reoccurrence in every ciivl life. So many people put prostitution on scale on whether it's justifiable or not. But on the other hand these women and men cohering in this life style are making are only making a fair living. Fair or not I for the most part think everyone has a right to make a living the way they chose to do so.

A) How in the world did you connect these two thoughts?

B) Nobody's asking you if you could BE a prostitute...just because you can't separate sex and love doesn't mean everyone has this emothional attachment to certain body parts being pleasured

This particular hypothetical may not be the typical John/prostitute dynamic, but to answer your question: No, but if someone else can; what right do I or you have to say otherwise for someone else?

BTW; counselors, shrinks, midwifes, and obstetricans do accept money to console a grieving mother for just this sort of thing.

I couldn't put myself on either end of that exchange for emotional reasons, and I can't imagine a well-adjusted woman wanting to put herself in that position, but I'd give them some privacy myself.

Interesting. I can easily see a "well-adjusted" woman putting herself in position.

Anyway, prostitution isn't illegal in <a href="http://www.sexwork.com/coalition/canada.html" target="_blank">Canada</a>.
