Visiting Philospher Part 2
[QUOTE=Jjbee62;3460637]Then selling any product or service is derogatory. If you have food you should just give it to anyone who asks. If you have a skill, you should make it available freely, rather than sell it to the highest bidder. Isn't that what it boils down to?[/QUOTE]No, selling your labor, skills, or thoughts and ideas is not the same as sex. Sex is different in that is not a skill or labor, but when one sells sex they themselves become the product.
[QUOTE=Jjbee62;3460637]The problem is that there will always be the strong and the weak, the greedy and the generous. You end up with slavery.
Why, out of all the services in the world is sex unique? Why is it the only action that has its own, completely unique set of rules? Why does a person who has worked hard to learn to provide pleasure, lose value for selling their skills, but a person who has worked to gain any other skill increase their value? Why is a person who hires a prostitute bad, but someone who hires a plumber is smart? [/QUOTE]See above comment, I never equated it as bad you did. Society sees it that way because it goes against the Christian value of adultery that this country has adopted.
[QUOTE=Jjbee62;3460637]Let's ignore local laws for a moment, because my local laws are different from your local laws. Let's assume a vo-tech school, the institute of sex. At the school students are taught, in addition to sexual skills, health and physiology, how to recognize herpes and genital warts, disease prevention, basic economics, how to deal with impotence and premature ejaculation. Upon successful completion, followed by tests, the graduate receives a license. They list their occupation as sex worker, pay taxes, get regular checkups and have certain rules they must follow. Customers require an anonymous I'd, that is only connected to a sexual health record. To keep the I'd active they require regular testing.
Is the buying and selling of sex, still derogatory?[/QUOTE]Yes, because it goes against the morals of society and as said before one becomes the product. Just because said person gets some regulated tests done does not change those facts, nor does it change the fact that those regulations are in place in order to curb the health impacts on the general populous if they were not performed.
Sex Object and Moral Laws
[QUOTE=Piemaster;3460795]Sex is different in that is not a skill or labor, but when one sells sex they themselves become the product. Society sees it that way because it goes against the Christian value of adultery that this country has adopted. Yes, because it goes against the morals of society and as said before one becomes the product.[/QUOTE]If I steal and destroy a product under society or our moral laws it's theft and destruction of private property, a felony at best. If I kidnap and take a life it's murder with a possible death sentence depending on the state. So the fallacy in your philosophy is even under the morals of our society, which is based on Christian values, the destruction of said sex object is still considered the taking of a human life. It makes no difference on the perceived worth of the sex product, it's true moral value under both our laws and Christian beliefs is once again priceless as a citizen and a human.
