I’m not really into the whole prostitution is what happens between consenting adults argument. I find that it reeks with the notion that the experiences of a lucky few, a sub set of a sub set, somehow overlays what happens to most people who get involved in prostitution; that would be degradation, pain, and suffering. Layer that with helplessness, fear and shame and you have a tried and true recipe for broken human beings.
Prostitution is not okay. It is never okay and thus the topic is set for your Thursday DWR PSA.

You hit on the precise problem. It is NOT between consenting adults more and more often. If it was…well, dandy, so far as that goes. But since traffic in helpless girls and young women is only on the increase….it gives absolute lie to any idea of “consent”.
And it sends me back to my favorite idea that it is the JOHNS who need to be punished.

And in some countries they are…in Norway, for one, I think, prostitution is not illegal. But being a customer IS punished.

We’ve talked about some of the different ways that countries deal with prostitution earlier on the blog.
