ReplyDeleteProstitution is the oldest profession there is, I don't think it will ever fade. Often women are the whipping board for all wrongs, we scorn them, we judge them, we heap our disgust and hate upon them while the men that solicit their services escape persecution or responsibility, now isn't that a kick in the teeth? The prostitute is not doing the work by their self, they have a equal and willing participant! This is a world of supply and demand, if there were no demand there would be no supply.
peace.
