Your post reminds me of my favorite book, "What's So Amazing About Grace." The very beginning tells the story of a prostitute who was talking to "a friend [of the author's] who works with the down-and-out in Chicago." Read the first page of the book on the link below (Page 4 after the contents etcetera). I know you'll like it. It surmises very quickly a major part of the problem.

The rest of the book comes back to this story constantly. I highly recommend anyone reading this post, and hopefully the excerpt link above, that they then of course read the entire book. The book has been out a while now, but it is a bestseller, so all the bigger bookstores have it.

If you are still not sure you want to read the entire book, find it in a store and start to read the chapter "Lovesick Father"

Since this book came out, I have loved grace more than I ever thought I could.

>Just remembered the news from the other day - sorry, Google keeps serving me with USA sources, can't find a local - about the serial killer who killed prostitutes.

>Amazingly, google search on "prostitute serial killer news" gives about 1.7 million hits, but if you try "prostitute customer serial killer news" you get only about 137000. Looking deeper into the matter, I found about the missionary serial killers, whereas the two typical groups of victims are prostitutes and minority groups. There's one and only one case of one who targeted customers, but the killer was a prostitute herself, ergo an exception.

>Since most of such killers think that prostitution is evil per se and needs to be swiped off the face of the planet, I wonder where do they get the idea that the source of the trouble is on the supply side. Could it be something they learn from their environment?

>Also, in any movie where I saw a brothel raid, they arrest the working class and the customers get as much as a slap on the wrist. Why do they get the preferential treatment? They were a party in the same trade.

>If prostitution is bad (which I agree with, though probably for different reasons than the most), wouldn't the simplest way to make it vanish be to cut the demand? With no market, this industry wouldn't exist. Is there any religion around here which tries to use this approach?
