Hiring a prostitute for your child

Its rare for parents to be able to envision boundaries for teen age daughters but I think its mainly, "Be a tramp if you want to, but don't get a reputation for being a tramp and above all else, if you get knocked up make sure its by someone who is rich.

Although I want prostitution legal in every state in the world,

I don't expect this issue to get any more traction than it has for thousand of years. Although I'm pretty sure the anti reasons are varied, they are just enough for the majority keep control of the issue.

As to the OP, do we know the backstory? Without that it is hard to have a decent opinion on what she is suggesting. I think there can be made pro and con arguments to whether or not this is a positive experience for the young man.

The photo of him given makes him look mentally challenged? It may be that he will have to wander life without knowing how or what to do and having the god given desires we all are cursed with, and not be able to negotiate a safe sexual encounter for himself?

It may help him greatly to have that experience and given proper counseling could be a really good idea to help this challenged kid get through life. Like I said without the back story, it 's hard to say.

Would him having a sexual encounter prevent him from maybe raping someone? Could it help stop him from being miserable his entire adult life? It's a sensitive and difficult issue to deal with.

Should this young person procreate? Should he be given salt peter or some other medication so he doesn't get erections and suffer through the desires like most of the rest of us have?

By being a good parent and choosing an experienced, kind and attractive [to the boy] partner, this might be the best possible thing to do for him. Maybe the experience wouldn't have to include copulation, but touching and teaching? Maybe her thoughts aren't primarily "dirty" like the short story might suggest.

This kid is going to end up worth millions of dollars. There is no limit to the amount of gold diggers willing to fleece him out of that money. Would you rather turn him out into society with raging desire and no idea what to do?

Who is behind the anti-reasons and what are they?

Are they afraid that if someone tries incredibly exciting sex, they might want more of it? Are they afraid that if a man is given the chance to have good sex at will, that his wife or church might lose the power to make him mow the lawn, or otherwise do their bidding?

I think the reasons are the same as they always have been a care for the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual health of those involved. Doing the greatest and most intimate act that has the power to create new life for no other reason than money is a perversion that hurt every part of us.

Yeah that's what I thought, someone else using force to impose their false sense of morality on others. It's reasons like that that make me want to tax religion.

You have just admitted your bigotry toward anyone that doesn't believe or pretend to believe as you do. But as long as churches can swing a big voting block, the politicians will protect your dialogue.

Jesus hung out with whores didn't he? And drank wine. There is a logical conclusion there that most don't want to consider. I think it's time you consider that Jesus was a young hard working carpenter/fisherman that probably got more than a buzz one night on wine and laid with at least a few of those whores. Now don't go getting all bowed up about that. That means he was just like us, and had a good reason not to marry Mary.

That getting tanked up on wine, is the origin of preaching, but you don't see Jesus talking smack about whores, that's something ugly women come up with. Back in the day people respected them better than now. Man wasn't made for monogamy. Let a man be free [as guaranteed ] and this low effort to make marriages work, will be drastically reduced. Same people keeping sex off the market are in league with the lawyers and such, and the cruel property distribution schemers. Take away every thing a man's got and make him start over. It's a sinister plot you all got working, but it does work.

Women [mostly ugly] and closeted preachers are the force behind keeping prostitution illegal. To bad men are so simple they buy into that crap. Men mostly just want a warm place to lay down and a good meal once in a while and an occasional romp in the hay. But you power mongers just can't stand it.

I think the group is diverse. For instance some feminist are against it. Many religions. Some moral ethicists feel the cons outweigh the pros. There are people who are against it because they think it decays their neighborhood but might not be against in other circumstances. And there's always the irrational personal preference. -- simply someone doesn't like it.

All together, this is a larger group than the other. Of course, this is primarily an observational opinion. Do you think I'm mistaken?

If not, why doesn't legal prostitution get more traction. The former mayor of Las Vegas proclaimed it a good idea, and it just never garnered much interest. It's hard to imagine another area that might be more primed than Vegas. Instead it's regulated out to the boonies of Nevada.

What else am I to make of it?

Actually, it kind of cracks me up there is no official support in Vegas for it. However, lots and lots of unofficial support. For all the "sinning" that goes down in the area, people have to be high and mighty about something, and I guess legal prostitution is a bridge too far for them. I find it ironic.

Also have a theory, that prostitution threatens the security of a certain group.

If prostitution proved to be economical, someone who doesn't want to be trapped in a long term relationship or tied down by kids, might opt for the easier choice of visiting a prostitute for sexual needs and forget about the rest of it. (Perhaps FrGamble is aghast at that idea, but I'm not. )

I'm not saying either group is all men or women, but I feel it's likely there is a disparity in preference.

How is one group going to rope in a long term partner and commit them to a family if easy prostitution is available and legal and maybe one person only needs one thing without all the rest? So legal prostitutes are a threat. Legal means they can't really impact your career choices or other upward mobility. Illegal means there is always a potential penalty or stigma or at least you have to worry about that.

I will try to get back here later. But, very similar to why weed has lost the vote before in Cali., follow the money. In that case if you look, it was primarily the liquor lobby that put up millions to stop weed from becoming legal.

To me to say a woman [or other] doesn't own their own body is the most controlling idea that others can come up with. You can donate blood, or organs or in vertebrae, but not sexual favor.

It is like so many things, they are not what they claim to be about. Prostitution happens in every larger city in the world since bce. But usually someone other than the woman is receiving the benefits. Look at those websites about legal brothels. There is some real opportunity for those women. Street walkers get killed and harmed in so many ways. Escort services everywhere charge big money for home delivery. Ceo's make sex a pathway to advancement, etc. etc. Keeping it illegal and unsafe for women is about control. Someone else wants to control them and what they do with the one thing they truly own.

PImps, bosses, ceo's, slave traders...everybody wants to get a piece of it. Look how many the Green river killer killed, or Bundy or many we haven't heard of. Move prostitution into a safe environment for everybody, stop putting everyone involved at unnecessary risk. Let the women decide and own, what they truly own.

To many marriages end in disaster for both parties.
