prostitutes – trick or treat???

Jump to Comments

well, it’s halloween…this year’s i’m dressed up as daphne from scooby doo for a work group costume. my workplace crush is shaggy-astic. ;) trick or treat!!!

speaking of tricks, so a friend of mine and i were discussing whether or not prostitution should be legalized or not. me being a girl and him being a boy, our opinions were quite surprising!!!

he said no because it would spread diseases, discourage education, and cause damage to families’ lives.

for me, if prostitution was legalized, then like any other job, the entire profession would be better regulated and encourage their workers to get tested and practice safer play. that doesn’t discourage education, believe me, i don’t think if someone wants to become a doctor or teacher or astronaut, that they’d choose to be a prost*tute instead because they make better money playing dress up and fucking strangers. it takes a certain type of person to become a prostitute, someone down on their luck who have nothing else in their talent/smarts treasure box to choose than that particular line of career. trust me, i’m not trying to put them down, but i think 95% of prostitutes who choose this line of work have nothing else going for them. maybe if it was legalized, they could get proper counseling and would be at less risk of getting into drugs or killed by their pimps. damage to families’ lives are a crock cuz if the man is going to cheat on his wife, he’s going to cheat on his wife, whether or not prostitution is legalized or not.

i didn’t think this way all my life. i always thought prostitution and pornography and stripclubs were all degrading women and ruining our society in general, but as i got older, i realized how when you make something illegal, you bring about more criminal activity around it. i believe if the prostitute is of age, then there isn’t a crime happening. case in point, if you look at amsterdam where prostitution and marijuana are both legal, it is probably one of the safest places in the world to live in. so i say make it legal and start educating the girls and give them health care and get them out of the business through proper counseling and resources. (now before you jump down my throat, i’m NOT saying legalize all drugs or murder or rape or pedophilia—there are definitely acts that are clearly criminal and should be illegal!!!)

prostitution is the oldest profession in the history of the world—it’s never going to go away, so why not make it safer for everyone involved. i think sometimes for people who are unlucky in love, it might be the only way for them to get human contact. i don’t think i’d ever do it because it’d probably make me feel worse about myself, but sometimes i think about hiring a guy for sex, so i don’t have to deal with being alone and horny at times. as pathetic as that sounds, sometimes that’s how i feel these days. :(

if you think about it, the very acting of modern dating is legalized prostitution in a twisted way. the guy pays for dinner (not really in my case) and the girl might end up fucking him at the end of the evening, so who cares if we legalize it? yes, shit happens, but it’s going to happen more when you illegalize something. it just keeps things underground which means children being sold into sex slavery and illegal aliens being trafficked into that shit! legalize it and it gets a bit more regulated and prostitutes have more legal rights to sue and make a decent living and protect themselves, instead of worrying that they themselves will get punished if they seek help from the police.

that’s just my two cents! what do you think?

and an extra spooky halloween to you all!!! may you get as many sexy tricks as yummy treats!!! ;)

  • Hi there,
    just checking out the blogs on sex and came across yours. Nice post. One question: Do you know any prostitutes? I mean personally who you have spoken to about why they do it. It sounds like you have never been one and no offense intended, I promise, but I must beg to differ about why women do this. I think you are right that most probably do it because they “are down on their luck,” but I have known women who were prostitutes and they were far from not having anything else in their “treasure box,” of options. Some were ironically studying to be doctors. Many were getting their Masters Degrees. Some women say they do it because they like it and make tons of money doing what they like. I interviewed strippers and prostitutes for a college project. I became friends with some of them. I thought it was sad because some of them were very intelligent, but had mental and emotional problems that prevented them from being able to hold down a normal job. Maybe it does take a certain kind of woman, but then maybe all kinds of women do it, some you might be totally shocked to discover were doing it. I even knew a few that were “happily married,” and their husbands didn’t know what they did, but they loved MONEY! I didn’t have much empathy in those cases, but I guess different strokes for different folks right. Okay, I’ll stop now but one more thing and I hope you might be laughing at this long comment already but I read where social workers in Sweden would go to see young men with schizophrenia who didn’t get to have sex and these social workers were allowed to have sex with them. I think this is a totally awesome idea. Sex is so important! I wish I was having it right now after reading your post. You have planted a seed in my brain for Halloween. Maybe I will get a nice treat. It will sure as hell be a surprise if I do. Thanks for writing.

    • no, i wasn’t trying to put down the profession—if anything, i was trying to promote the legalization of it. i just don’t think anybody as a kid or even as an adult ever dreams about becoming a prostitute. i have to be honest, i don’t know any prostitutes. i’ve only read and seen a lot of documentaries on the subject. i’m NOT saying that they’re at all dumb either. i just think if one had other options in life, the logical choice would be to take that other option instead of whoring oneself for money/drugs/whatever. if you’ve read any of my past blogs, you’d also know that i’m NOT here to judge anybody. these are just thoughts i’ve had. i don’t claim to be an expert at anything but my own heart. sorry, if i offended you. thanks for reading and commenting.

      • Hi there! No you did not offend me. I subscribed to your blog. I liked your post. I guess my words came out wrong. Anyway– you inspired me to try for some treats on this Hallowed Eve! I didn’t mean to imply you had judged, I guess I only wanted to share my experience with the ones I had known. I agree whole-heartedly that being a prostitute would not be and is not a profession to aspire to. Not at all! I will read more of your posts. Thanks again for writing and Happy Halloween!

  • Again, you took those very thought out of my me.
    You’re almost prefect.

  • prefect is jesus …. we are no jesus :p

  • thanks for clarifying. and thank you for sharing your experience and thoughts as well. happy halloween. :)

  • Hi– well, I did not get my treat I had hoped for. I rode my magic bike Halloween morning. All was well until I tried keeping up with my 26 year old son, first mistake, then I tried taking a curve like I did when I was a much younger woman. It was fun for about ten seconds into the curve and then I went down.
    So– I guess having a cute doctor at the ER was a little treat. The nurses were dressed as Nuns.
    I didn’t get any candy only shots, needles and irrigation of the gaping hole in my elbow, now stitched up.
    I hope you got treats instead of tricks. I’m glad it is over and I didn’t hit my head because even thou “shehasabrain,” it must be kind of small.

  • fall – not so good, but cute doctor always a treat. ;)

    back in april, i took a huge tumble off my bike, big gashes on my arms and one under my nose, and after all that blood, i think my ego was what got bruised the most. then i got to tell the tale of my amazing fall to my cute local bikeshop boys, and they called me hardcore. i was in fact training for my first triathlon…tee hee. so welcome to being a hardcore cyclist! ;) my coach also said that there are only 2 kinds of cyclists, ones who have fallen and ones who will fall. ;)

    i hope you get back on that magic bike of yours, when you’re all healed up again. i did and still do.

  • Well, I’m glad to at least say I am one who has fallen. My whole body hurts but the cute doctor gave me these pills that makes me forget the pain. Hopefully I’ll be back and riding soon! I love my magic bike! The first thought I had after the fall was did my magic bell break? Then of course the pain made me forget about the bell. It is intact!

  • magic pills are nice, too. ;) get well soon.
