quotations about prostitution
Despite the fact that today there is more sexual liberty than ever before and maybe young men have the easiest access to sex in history, this generation lives in a world of immediacy -- everything has to be quick, here and now, and sex is no exception. Prostitution fits in with this philosophy that demands quick pleasure without consequences or commitments.

Considering prostitution a crime is a large part of the reason it leads to abuse of women. Since it's the 'oldest profession,' I don't believe we'll eliminate it, and therefore ought to make it safe for the people involved.

In Anglo-Saxon countries the prostitutes look as if they purveyed, along with sin, the attendant pains of hell.

Butterfield 8, with its call-girl heroine working her way down the alphabet of men from Amherst to Yale, appeared at a very formative moment in my adolescence and impressed me forever with the persona of the prostitute, whom I continue to revere. The prostitute is not, as feminists claim, the victim of men, but rather their conqueror, an outlaw, who controls the sexual channels between nature and culture.
