actually hello there, i do not drink much....very rarely anyway....will down a margarita once in a while but you raise a good question....very valid in fact.....alcohol causes lots of problems..... but then again, so does eating......eating the wrong foods can lead to cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and death.....should we ban eating then? ~Freeze
You're comparing alcohol to eating??? Come on now, there's a difference between drinking and eating. The difference is that WE HAVE TO eat to survive, but we DON'T HAVE TO drink alcohol to survive. We have to be cautious and not abuse it.
anything we do can be used unhealthily.....too much alcohol, too much eating, too much gambling, too much smoking, sex with the wrong people, too much golf, etc. etc. ~Freeze
On this point, you are absolutely right!! It can be in different degrees.
some things, on the other hand, are unhealthy almost all the time....the aforementioned industry is one of them as i tried to outline in my first post on the subject...there are just not a whole lot of positives other than the fleeting satisfaction of arousal ~Freeze
Not if prostitution is legalized and regulated. The prostitutes do this illegally, that's why there are so much diseases out there. Not many are educated of precautions and many are in sleezy areas in the woodworks of society, so lots of crap goes on, there's killings, not using protection properly, doctors won't help, lots of them are addicted to drugs because society shuns them without looking at how they got there in the first place. Now if it was legal and like a business, doctors would accept them as atleast semi-regular people in which they can get check ups, also they could get open education on better precautions, and it could be regulated to only prostitutes who don't have diseases, ofcourse it's not 100% full proof, it's also not 100% full proof that a guy who drinks at a bar won't drive and hit someone on the road or go home and abuse his wife or kids either. However, atleast now, prostitution will be much more cleaner and awareness will increase of where it is much safer and cleaner places to go to have a service of a prostitute. You drink your occasion drink right, but the reason why it's okay is because you take precautions and don't drink too much, same with many people who get service from prostitutes, most who live lives buying a prostitute's sex and they take precautions, will almost always be okay. Just like how a drinker like you or someone else who takes precautions can lead a life with little or no problems drinking occasionally.
......if you know of any great success stories which have led to happy and fulfilling lives which have come about becasue of this industry i would love to know them.....all i have ever seen that has come away from this business is hurt..... ~Freeze
How many guys out there, feeling like losers, that don't have the social skills or ability to court a lady to bed, that potentially turn into rapists may seek a service from a prostitute, thus relieving his anger and gratifying his sexual acceptance and need for that moment that would hold him off from thinking of doing something stupid if the prostitute wasn't there for him. Who knows what that desperate man may have seeked if it wasn't for the protitute, maybe my mom, your mom, our sisters, our female cousins. Believe it or not, but lots of guys who look for hookers have conversations with them, which helps them with their problems. Psychologists cost a lot of money nowadays, but a prostitute wouldn't mind talking to you for half the price and with physical gratification on top of that. I've watched documentaries where many prostitutes say that many guys often times, just want to sit down and talk instead of getting only sex certain nights, it can help the men by talking about problems they are having at work or at home. Many guys not only get relief physically from a prostitute, but mental too, which helps those guys deal with stress and handle themselves more relieved in our society. You might be thinking, "oh, he's trying to make me think prostitutes decrease the amount of rapes in America and can relieve stress of men who operate in our society" Sounds crazy, but when you think about it, logically, it's true.
Prostitution happens on the corners and whorehouses in certain areas, but alcoholism is wide spread in every neighborhood. Someone is drinking alcohol right now around your block, and even if only 5% of them turn into addiction, that equals to a HUGE amount of people affecting their families and themselves, not to mention tons of drunk driving deaths each year. Even if lets say 25% of the people involved in prostitution dies, gets murdered, or affects families, that huge percentage still cannot even come close to only 5% of the average alcohol drinker who ends up abusing the alcohol.
I'm sure you might have had family or friends or relatives who drank when growing up, but did you ever experience first hand, how it affects your family growing up facing alcohol addiction? I'm sure if you had that first hand experience, you would think alcoholism is just as devastating to our society as prostitution, even more in fact.
I grew up with a father who abused alcohol on a daily bases, yes, sure he started out slow like everyone, but it grew. He come home from work and threaten my mom and us. Unless you lived through this crap, not just some random weekend or a month, but your entire childhood like I did, and like many other kids and families going through it in our neighborhoods, almost every city, in every state, in every country, you have no idea the complete psychological hell, especially an impressionable child, goes through when his, what was supposed to be his main influence and support system puts him in hell, every night. I never even got to the part of how many families each year, each month, who don't even use alcohol, are suffering because of a drunk driver hitting and killing their innocent dad or son on the road. If anyone can say prostitution is worse, than I know that that person never went through the first hand hell I, or many of the innocent families out there, have gone through.
