Imagine that your partner (who has not taken this course) begins to experience one of the sexual problems discussed in this section (your choice). Explain how you would probably feel. Also, assuming no physical cause, how would you help your partner understand and resolve the problem?
If my partner would suddenly experience declining sexual desire for me, initially I would be devastated, but afterwards, I would be open to discussing it with him so that we can solve his problem and prevent it from happening again (Connolly, Pamela).

This law requires states to make information on registered sex offenders available to the public. Do sex offenders have a right to privacy? Should members of a community be informed of all crimes committed by their neighbors? If not, why are sex crimes given a different status? Does community notification of sex offenders really work? The sex offender could always go to another community to offend, right? Does that mean community notification should not occur? What should be done with sex offenders once they are …show more content…
Or is prostitution, by its very nature, degrading and demeaning to the person who sells her or his body to others? Since it is the prostitute who is usually the one arrested and punished, are legal penalties merely another way of victimizing the victim? In addition, if the early family lives of so many prostitutes are characterized by sexual abuse, why don’t people demand a massive program to eliminate child sexual abuse instead of periodically demanding that the police crackdown on prostitution? Does prostitution serve such an important function in American society that we are not really committed to its

    Megan’s law is an informal name for laws in the United States requiring law enforcement authorities to make information available to the public regarding registered sex offenders. Individual states decide what information will be made available and how it should be disseminated. Commonly included information includes the offender's name, picture, address, incarceration date, and nature of crime. The information is often displayed on free public websites, but can be published in newspapers, distributed in pamphlets, or through various other means.…

    When people think of their neighbors, do they think of violent sex crime offenders? Many people have to deal with this every day of life. There are now laws that inform people of a community when a sex crime offender moves into their town. These laws are said to keep violent sex crime offenders from striking again, but do these laws really work is the question that many people ask?

    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…

    Firstly, legalizing prostitution would provide sex workers regulatory protection. Therefore, according to Doreen Carvajal journalist at Chicago times says making the buying and or selling of sex illegal pushes the practices underground resulting in discrimination, harassment, rape, and violence (carvajal). So I think what she is saying that if we make it legal we can hopefully decrease the number of violence, and the number of bad things that happen. I think she also thinks that by legalizing this that we can give them regulations and laws that can help these ladies out in their best…

    While many would argue that to much violence exists between prostitutes, pimps, and clients, I would have to point out the more infamous versions of violence that occur with in the supposed safety of marriage as domestic abuse within the United States. Others would say that prostitution as sexual tourism is degrading and exploitive and yet the same people who support these arguments are buying playboy and financing the advertising and entertainment industries that sustain the same kind of behavior that exemplifies the image of women as sex objects. It would be better for everyone involved if prostitution was cleared of the nasty reputation it has acquired unjustly. In her studies of prostitution in Southeast Asia, Than-Dam Troung came to the conclusion that, "sexual labor should be considered similar to other forms of labor that humankind performs to sustain itself – such as mental and manual labor, all of which involve specific parts of the body and particular types of energy and skills." It is just a chosen career for many women, and has been proven to be so in many feminist studies of prostitution and sexual labor in foreign countries. To believe that prostitution is the objectification and exploitation of women is to support the belief that women cannot make their own wise decisions concerning their bodies, that they would never willingly use their sexuality for profit, and that…

    Is prostitution REALLY a crime? It’s not the most admirable life for one to portray, however, it should not be labeled as act of criminal behavior. In a society where individuals struggle and fight to survive, some are given a competitive edge over others. Unfortunately those that are less fortunate have to find alternative and occasionally ghastly ways to produce capital. Prostitution has become a sensitive topic and has better ways to be assessed.…

    The government does not prosecute those who are promiscuous or those who dance in bars or strip clubs; why should they those who survive by selling a service for which there will always be a market? It is true that prostitution will benefit those involved with the sex industry. But that is how they earn their livelihood. The legalization of prostitution would not be an attempt to control prostitution. Rather, it would be a step to protect those women who make their living in the sex industry. This does not necessarily make prostitution a moral or an ethical thing. Sex should not be used as a commodity; it should be personal and sacred. However, each person has the right to use sexual intimacy as they wish. Therefore, prostitution should be legalized, under the circumstances that the workers are inspected weekly and their clients be thoroughly interviewed and identified before they indulge in the services of the prostitute. Sex is a choice, not a reason for incrimination and…

    Prostitution is one of th oldest trades known to man and even at the present time, while it is illegal in most areas of the United States, it is still employing many women and is solicited by even more men. Prostitution should be decriminalized because we are paying too high a financial and social cost for the ineffective enforcement of laws against it. The money and the law enforcement personnel freed by legalizing prostitution could be better spent if used to protect citizens against violent crimes. Prostitution has not always been a crime and there are still a few communities in the West, particularly in Nevada, where houses of prostitution operate as legal businesses.…

    Prostitution has always been an issue of mankind, even starting from the very beginning of civilization whether society likes it or not. It is an issue that is inescapable by any country; therefor it should be made legal in the United States because sex trade is never going to go away no matter how hard the law enforcement works to make the problem disappear. Having prostitution illegal only does harm to the sex worker because they are not protected by any legal system and are working in an underground market for very dangerous criminals in an unsafe environment. The facts are that with prostitution being illegal in the United States, the criminal acts behind the closed doors of the transactions lead to nothing good and does more harm than ever before in history.…

    One reason prostitution should be legal is so sex industry workers have more protection, rights and access to health care. Most women that are prostitutes today aren't getting treated well and if there were legal regulations on prostitution it would make their lives better. " A sex worker's life is filled with violence from clients and police; with discrimination and scorn from the general public; with drug addiction, homelessness and lack of health services." Prostitutes don't get access to health insurance, it would make the world a safer place if there were laws to protect sex workers. They say that if prostitutes get some health services and medical help, then STD's will be less common and prostitutes will be safer.…

    Prostitution has been called the world’s oldest profession, so it’s safe to say it’s not going away anytime soon. As of right now, Nevada is the only state which has legalized prostitution. In the rest of the United States, however, the social problems experienced under the current laws prohibiting prostitution include transmission of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), excessive amounts spent on prosecuting offenders, and the risks involved for women working alone on the streets. It is my view that legalizing prostitution would not only protect sex workers and their clients, but if properly regulated would provide revenue for both cities and government agencies while empowering women who choose prostitution as their profession as to avoid white slavery.…

    Unlike rape a prostitute gives consent to the buyer and the prostitute has complete control the sense of the act negotiating price and the deeds that are to be performed. Even though it is considered morally wrong for someone to sell one's body people may believe that porn is wrong but viewed as a profession classified under acting, prostitution is nothing but porn without a camera and corporation having actors perform the acts and the prostitute themselves controlling the action and sale. By comparing prostitution to porn it tends to be viewed as just a job as done before in human…

    In the United States, prostitution is legal in only one of the fifty states, Nevada. It’s considered a mis-deamor in the other 49 states (Rasmusson, 1999). Prostitution tends to be clustered in certain areas known for solicitation. In these areas it is difficult to estimate the number of persons who currently work, or have ever worked as prostitutes for many reasons, including the various definitions of prostitution. Regardless, prostitution is a plague. Arrest figures range over 100,000 every year. The National Task Force on Prostitution suggests that over one million people in the U.S. have worked as prostitutes in the United States. This figure works out to be about 1% of American women. The average prostitution arrests include 70% female prostitutes, 20% male prostitutes, and 10% customer. Sadly our society feeds money to prostitution. It is estimated that the prostitution trade generates $14 billion a year (Rasmusson, 1999). In my opinion the government should open up more programs that aware future potential victims of…
