Is it ever OK to sleep with someone for money?
Ends: 15/04/2012
There have been statistics released earlier this year that a greater number of British students have been turning to prostitution in order to help fund their education. This statistic may actually grow with tuition fees for tertiary institutions across Britain being raised three times from this September.
Prostitution has been deemed as somewhat taboo in the past. However, with references being so "out there" at the moment, people have found it increasingly more acceptable to subject themselves to such a industry. Supporters for this debate argue that it would be OK to exploit this and turn it into a positive, such a getting money to feed a baby or for the above case of education. They also say that sex has become so normal and even irrelevant that making it a sort of business and treating it that way may be no big deal.
However, those against this say that it firstly is risky in terms of sexual diseases and obviously those in the sex industry have a much higher chance of contracting such diseases. Furthermore, they say it exploits women, making them be treated almost as objects.
Anyway, the list of arguments can go on and it is up to you to decide which side is more appropriate for you, or whether you would simply take the middle road.
