>>>>>>>>Do you want to prohibit those clubs? Don't you think that they (and prostitutes) have a social place in society?

>>>>>>>I'll ask you this question as well Peter. I don't know if you have children but if you did or do. How would you feel if prostitution or working in an sex club was suggested to them as a career choice ?.
>>>>>>
>>>>>>Yes, a son (24) and two daughters (19 and 21). None of them has suggested this to me, none of them does it without telling us. They are all students. So, if one of them suggested it to me as a career choice, I'd protest and suggest that a university study is the preferred route, in my eyes.If it was suggested as a means to make extra money for the study, I'd protest also because I think that they get enough from us and that they better spend their hours studying. If it was suggested that it's not enough money, I'd suggest a parttime job as e.g. a waitress. If it was suggested that prostitution is the way to make much money in very little time, I'd try very hard, with all kinds of arguments, to change her mind.
>>>>>>
>>>>>>Now, suppose my daughter is not intelligent enough for a study, some years older, does not succeed in finding a proper job AND also regards prostitution as a social job, I'd no longer protest, in the end.

>>>>>So you would regard it as a very last resort. Essentially a failure and like all failures subject to exploitation.
>>>>
>>>>There are many more 'careers' in that bucket, not a very last resort. Also not a failure. I have respect for prostitutes who do it as social work.
>>>
>>>You do live in Holland but even so I think you are being unreal about the reality for many of these sex workers.
>>
>>I admit that there are plenty prostitutes who do it only for the money and not at all for the social aspects. But your pov is about prostitution in general and I think that the legitimization of prostitution is the fact that there is a social problem that it can partly tackle. A consequence of your pov is that some men will never ever have sex, as they can't find a parther, and that would be a social and, for the individual, psychological problem.

>>Think of certain groups of handicapped people. What do you have in mind for those people?
>
>Depends if you think sex is a right or a happy accident . I'd tend to go with the latter. Lots of people don't have sex. If you are handicapped and can't find a partner thats hard but it isn't a justification for a sex industry.

Are we discussing sex industry or is it about prostitution. I think it are related items, but not totally so.

Let's go back to a basic issue: A man is in desperate need for some sex (assume a handicapped man who is amply able to move). A woman is willing to help such handicapped men. She makes a living of doing it. Is she in the sex industry?
