Prostitution In Society

Prostitution in society

Introduction

What is prostitution? Prostitution is the practice of having sex with other people in exchange for money or other economic benefits. Women are those who mainly exercise prostitution;There is also male prostitution and child prostitution. Male prostitution is a form of prostitution that refers to men who provide sexual services both to men and women. Compared to female prostitution, the male has been less studied. Some researchers say that both cases have notable differences and behaviors.

Developing

Male prostitution has many historical references in the ancient world, such as male prostitution in Greece although currently it has been especially related to the so -called sex tourism. Male prostitution is very varied and differs quite much from female prostitution. Many men exercise prostitution out of necessity, but as soon as they acquire stable job, they naturally abandon it. Other wealthy (richer) classes, especially adolescents, exercise it to obtain alternative money, but in more adult age they abandon it. Many men exercise male prostitution eventually, sometimes even out of curiosity.

Child prostitution is a modern version of slavery where children are sexually exploited for economic purposes. The main cause that is usually attributed to child prostitution is poverty. UNICEF studies calculate that in countries in southern Asia approximately 1 million children are sexually exploited and several hundred thousand live the same situation in Europe, Latin America and Africa.

Prostitution is exercised in brothels or brothels. The brothels are houses in command of a pimp (man who controls the business) where there are rooms for that use.

Prostitution is also exercised on the sidewalks of the streets of the cities, on the sides of the roads, in bars and discos, in hotels and home. The prostitute is often linked to the figure of the pimp that stays with a part of her earnings. The proxeneta can protect the prostitute or extort her, kidnap her or exercise physical violence. We talk about human trafficking when the illegal trade of people is done and someone is forced to prostitute themselves. The legal situation of prostitution is not the same in all countries: for example in Sweden, Norway and Iceland.

The client commits a crime, but not the prostitute;In Germany and Netherlands prostitution is a regulated profession. Ethics is the study of those deliberate human behaviors that are accepted or rejected by society where individuals live. The company fixes norms and laws that establish what behaviors are accepted or rejected. Taking into account these two factors, ethics related to prostitution can be divided into two fields: ethics from inside the prostitution phenomenon. Citizen Ethics of Respect. In the first point, ethics judges several aspects such as the marginal life that prostitutes carry.

The violent form of recruitment of criminal organizations, the coercion suffered by prostitutes and the sanitary deficit. In the second point, if we think of a person who freely exercises prostitution, without external conditioning, ethics is always related to dilemmas. People are free to choose, but choosing implies responsibility. The choice can be good or bad. According to citizen ethics, a choice is good if you eliminate any type of conflict. According to religious ethics, prostitution is disapproved. The State, however, being secular does not censure prostitution.

The citizen should respect the free decision of a person to devote himself to sexual exercise as a way of life. When we talk about prostitution we do not refer only to men who have to meet their needs, but to the well -being of women and the purchase of their sexuality. This relationship is of power and domination about women, because a person has to put themselves at the service of another leaving aside their own desires and needs. Prostitute loses the meaning of her own sexuality and being autonomous. According to liberal ethics (for example in Germany and the Netherlands) prostitution is a free consensus of the parties.

However, it is the violation of the principle of non-instrumentalization, that means not converting a person for a certain purpose. I think there should not be such a job because of the simple fact that they give you money, morally for women it is denigrating and being considered as an object is really hard. It is a humiliation for women because it ceases to be autonomous and also becomes an object, for the use of another human being. You also have to think about all the diseases that prostitutes, venereal or AIDS diseases may suffer. Diseases that can also transmit to customers, if sexual relations are without the correct protection.

In many cases prostitutes when they begin to exercise are not addicted to drugs or alcohol, but after some time they become addicted. Alcohol and drugs help them endure the situation. Prostitution is not in most cases a freely chosen profession;It is a choice that comes due to very difficult circumstances of life, when there is no escape or exit. I think you should fight this problem. We would have to try to re -educate prostitutes, help them overcome their problems and try to reinsert them in society. I would put penalties for pimps and customers and try to rehabilitate the areas where there is a lot of prostitution.
