rape and sex are two very different things. Rape is a physical crime against a person that actually has nothing to do with the sex act, but is done for domination and to hurt the other person, for whatever reason. Sex is just that..sex for gratification.
For those of you who think prostition is wrong for ANY reason...I say learn to have compassion. SOME of the women (and men!) are prostitutes because that is the only way they can survive. Be a 2nd or 3rd wife??? What if they are really ugly/not personable, whatever and/or don't have anyone to represent them to a man who will accept them as a wife?? Where does that leave them then?? Still on the streets with no food or shelter, to starve. Yes, there are those that use prostitution as a means to advance themselves or for drug money...and for those I have no compassion at all for they have made a choice because they could. For those that have no choice except to sell their bodies so that they could eat or feed their children...I DO have compassion enough not to look down upon them. Remember what God has taught you...we are all equals in His eyes and its not for us to judge each other, but is up to Him to do that when its time.
Grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked,the good fortune to run into the ones I do,and the eyesight to tell the difference.
