The Failed Prostitution Experiment

[ismnotwasm]

6. Part of the problem is gender

Women are prostitutes, or higher end "call girls"--I guess. Males can be "escorts" but less just call them all sexworkers.

My anecdotal experience with male street sex-workers is much the same as females and the similarity continues with both being procured for men.

And therein lies the rub, as long as women's sexuality is ignored, objectified, degraded, used with out permission for some kind of sales pitch (another form of prostitution) as long as the Gay community or the cis majority for that matter-fails false societal imposed standards of "masculinity" or "femininity"; in fact until we stay out of the Gay communities bedrooms and business; as long pornography dulls our sexual senses until it takes the macabre and the violent rather than the erotic and sensual to arouse us; as long as male sexual privilege is ignored and denied; as long as sex is described in terms such as "dirty" or "nasty"-meaning we haven't evolved sexually; as long as coercion, emotional, physical OR economic for prostitution exists..

And so on...

And Until prostitutes ARE fully trained sex workers, catering to sexualities and genders without gendered division, without harm, without despair and with loving grace..

Legalized prostitution will always be a failure.
