Debate on Male vs. Female
My Debate on Sex

In my opinion the biggest social issue we face is prostitution. I believe it should be legal. If an adult woman wants to sell her services of sexual acts, she should be allowed to do so. Women sell their bodies for movies and advertisements. Women sell their eggs to help other women produce babies. Some women rent out their wombs for other women. These acts are legal; there is no reason why a woman should not be able to make a business out of selling sex acts. The business should be taxed and regulated like any other business. The woman should have to follow the rules for safe sex and she should be able to refuse service at any time. I do not believe as the Swede’s do that prostitutions makes sex violent. Sex is simply an act of human nature that some people need more of. Rape is an act of violence, prostitution is consensual. I do not believe the women are being exploited if they choose to prostitute themselves. They are only exploited when they have to work for someone else that is “protecting them” from getting caught. They should be sole proprietors of their business and pimps should be out of the picture. They women could pay taxes and everyone would be happy, except the wives of some of the buyers. I feel the social problems involving sexuality are getting better. As a society we are more accepting of homosexuality. People are finally realizing it is not a choice. I believe within the next 50 years sexual orientation will not be an issue. I believe we need to work harder at accepting people for who they are, but I believe great strides are being made. I believe social problems involving pornography are getting worse. We are blurring the lines by allowing pornography to exist as a business. Sex is supposed to be a private consensual act between two adults. I know many people speak of ménage au trois and group sex, but in reality it is a rarity. The porn industry is fantasy and lies and it hurts people, especially children. It is

    I don’t agree with prostitution because it encourages human trafficking. It is also very degrading for women, especially those who do it because the don’t have any other option for finances. I also don’t think we should look down on prostitutes because most prostitutes are forced to do prostitution by traffickers or because of monetary reasons. We should help prostitutes find better jobs and create a better lifestyle. We shouldn’t look down on them, instead we should look down on the traffickers who sell them and force them into…

    When you hear the word prostitution what kind of image pops up in your mind? Is it a malnourished drug addicted woman? A woman possibly controlled by a pimp? When you hear prostitution, do you think of someone forced against their will? I wanted to know what you all thought before I told you the definition. Prostitution is the act or practice of engaging in promiscuous sexual relations for money; the unworthy or corrupt use of one’s talents for the sake of personal or financial gain; the practice or occupation of engaging in sexual activity with someone for money (Legal Dictionary). I’m not related to any prostitutes, and I am not a prostitute, but I have done much research on the topic and watched a documentary on the subject. I feel that…

    Star Wars vs Star Trek While star wars and star trek are similar in space battles. They're both different in many ways. The idea behind star trek goes back to the 1960's when the space race took place and when United States put a man on the moon. It’s a possible what if scenario of our future in advancing technology and further studying in outer space that became a big successful series with many spin off shows. While star wars came about in the 70's not far from star trek, began as a person's idea for a movie that turned into a series of movies.…

    % of prostitutes are from their homeland (Poulin). If legal prostitution has seemed to go wrong in these countries, then it seems logical to believe it wouldn’t work in the United States; however, the element that has made this legalization fail in other countries is the lack of government effort to shut down the illegal prostitute organizations and brothels. These countries still let pimps and criminals run this legal act. The idea isn’t to legalize prostitution and leave the subject alone; it is to legalize prostitution and regulate it heavily. With a crackdown on human trafficking and close inspection of licensed brothels, prostitution can begin to be more open and regulated, not underground and dangerous. This newly found “open prostitution” would damage the morality of women. Many women activists view prostitution as degrading, but “Jane Roe II, argued that if a woman had the right to an abortion (a right originally granted in the 1973 U.S. Supreme Court decision Roe v. Wade), then the right to privacy implicit in that decision also gave her the right to sell her body for sexual purposes” (“Prostitution”). Some feminists argue that prostitution is wrong because men are using them for their bodies and not their personalities, but “a woman has the right to completely control--and even sell--her sexual and reproductive capabilities…women are being punished for not conforming sexually to…

    When talking about social stigmas and social problems dealing with pornography most people tend to talk about those who purchase or watch pornography. Those social problems could include the underage watching of porn, the fact that it can lead to a desensitization of sexual human contact, and the more aggressive and negative outlook toward women. However, there are several problems dealing with those involved in the…

    Prostitution is an act is the exchange of sexual acts for money, food, rent, drugs, or other material goods. It is not seen as a respectable act. In this already problematic world, we try to understand and fix the issue of prostitution but, we fail to understand that we cannot completely wipe out prostitution that some women use as a source of income but instead come up with better solutions for them.…

    Advocates for legal prostitution claim that safety zones being put in place will help keep women safe. However, in the article “Debating Legalized Prostitution” by Janice G. Raymond and Dr. Melissa Ditmune, it states that “Because they had become a haven for traffickers and unsafe for women, Amsterdam and Rotterdam have also closed down their tipple zones-- what some called tolerance zones, but in truth are in and out sacrifice zones where women can be bought and sold”(“Debating Legalized Prostitution”). There is no evidence that proves these safety zones to be effective, but there is more evidence that proves the exact opposite. This shows that whatever is done to help protect women will do the complete opposite. These safety zones will put more prostitutes in danger, and increase sex trafficking as well. All women in prostitution, regardless of whether they have been trafficked or not, will experience abuse. No laws or regulations made can, or will, protect them. In the article “Ten Reasons for Not Legalizing Prostitution And A Legal Response to the Demand for Prostitution” by Janice G. Raymond, it is stated that “eighty percent of women interviewed had suffered physical violence from pimps and buyers and endured similar and multiple health effects from the violence and sexual exploitation” (“Ten Reasons for Not Legalizing Prostitution And A Legal Response to the Demand for Prostitution”). Unfortunately, the vast majority of prostitutes will experience at least one act of abuse. The belief that these safety measures will effectively protect them is extremely doubtful. Quite frankly, there is little that can be done to protect prostitutes from abuse, and the legalization of prostitution will only expand the probability of them being in…

    There is no profession in this world that has lasted longer than prostitution- the selling of sexual services. Despite the age of this field, there is a lot of controversy over whether it should be legal or if it is even morally correct to do. There are places all over the world where prostitution is legal, but in the United States only two of the fifty states have legalized it-Rhode Island and Nevada. But there is a lot of evidence to suggest that Prostitution should be legalized in all fifty states because it is a perfectly legal and beneficial career.…

    Prostitution is not an ideal occupation but that doesn’t mean it should be treated like it. Prostitutes are humans and should be treated like such. Legalizing prostitution has more benefits than criminalizing it. The transmission of sexually transmitted diseases and rape can be reduced exponentially by legalization of prostitution. Prostitutes can have a better work environment without the fear of physical violence and other threats. Prostitution should be legalized because it would reduce the rate of sexually transmitted diseases and rape cases while safeguarding prostitutes on and off work.…

    Second, prostitution should be legalized because it would greatly help the STD rates from increasing 49% a year to 22% a year. Partyzthan would be a safer and healthier country for its people. One may ask, “How is this so?” Well the reason being that STD rates would decrease is because these services would be watched over by the government. People would not be able to have a prostitution business unless he is licensed and his prostitutes carry zero diseases. There will be a multitude of guidelines that would be required to follow in order to make this a safe and successful business.…

    In this day and age the underground world of prostitution is becoming less underground. Many cities have certain red light districts or areas of prostitution where cops turn a blind eye. This is becoming the normal scene in cities across America. These areas are going to get bigger and bigger if there is no intervention from an outside source leading to an unregulated trade of a service for money. Where there is an unregulated source of money, crime is close behind. They need to be able to be monitored and controlled. Prostitution should be legalized and decriminalized so that taxes can be collected, laws can be reformed, and new policies that will help protect working girls from being abused can be created. Prostitution is the exchange of…

    Governments need to hold themselves and each other accountable to these mandates, and enforce them. Backlash exists regarding the overwhelming figures pointing towards sex trafficking, and the discrepancy in the minute number of cases of arrests, prosecution and convictions of perpetrators. This is unacceptable, trafficking prosecutions must be thoroughly carried through. As it stands, it is the sex worker who is criminalized. When the roles are reversed and the victim is not criminalized, the face of sexual exploitation changes. In Sweden, law was passed in 1999 prohibiting the purchase of sex. The resulting figures point to a 40% drop in prostitution.[7]…
