Prostitution


Though definitely not the oldest profession, prostitution has a long history. As a mean of forcing old Judah to acknowledge Tamar´s rights it was even mentioned in Bible - and long before that in Ancient Egyptian papyruses, in documents of Ancient Sumer or Mesopotamia...

Historically prostitution was often connected with a cult of some god as well as cult of fertility - and at the same time with poverty, desire to live better/easier life, lust for luxury, misery and oppression. I wonder how many of men visiting a brothel give a thought to the possibility the woman they are about to have sex with might not be doing this on her own free will? That she might be actually a nice girl from Ukraine or Russia who was kidnapped on her way home from work, raped, beaten and imprisoned afterwards in foreign country to be raped anytime a client chooses her?

When the case is a woman chose to do this, alright, I´m not saying anything - the thing I truly dislike is actually the demand of such services that creates atmosphere for committing crimes on those who cannot defend themselves. There were already too many Eastern and other women kidnapped and forced to do such a job - women who were as good and as deserving of happiness as the others- like your mothers, daughters, sisters or wives. Seriously guys, are you really such losers you cannot persuade a woman to have sex with you in normal way?
