Do young pple think its a "cool" thing to do ? 

Not unless I'm a lot older than I thought. I don't think anyone sees it as a 'fad'.

Or is it outmoded now in the era of internet porn etc.?

There are some things a computer just can't do for you.

And as to prostitution having a rightful place I disagree. The whole idea of it makes me sick.

From an economic perspective, it is a valuable service.

It is a given that the drive for sex is a primary need located with thirst and hunger in the hyperthalamus. And lets not confuse this drive for sex with it's ultimate function/ design/ purpose -  procreation - for I cannot imagine men, when they see a beautiful women undressed wanting a child at that moment, nor even can I imagine the converse. A woman who see's a buff sexy man showing interest in her, is not concerned with her womb at that moment, but is rather driven by sexual desire.

And it also is a given that like thirst and hunger, the drive for sex can be postponed. Yet it is also true however, that like thirst and hunger, it cannot be postponed forever. Where it is that a consenting adult is not available, masterbation results, as the need for sex must be satisfied. It is our biology.   

Another given is that the world is filled with many kinds of peoples including the disabled, retarded (intended respectfully) and mentally ill. Their primary drives of thirst, hunger and sex are not deminished from their afflictions in most cases yet their capacity to access a sexual relationship is deminished significantly. For many such people, there only sexual interaction with another human is through the services of Brothels. Would you deny them this primary need for your want of moral superiority?

Another given is that the world is filled with many peoples who have sexual deviations which drive their psychological sexual satisfaction. BDSM is an example. I am loath to think of the various brands of "Marquis de Sade's" which would result from the lack of such services as Brothels provide. How many more Rapes are you willing to tollerate for your want of moral superiority?

Thanks Sappho,

Well worded too I might add.
There you go, and to be honest I could not really see a purpose or rightful place for brothels.

One mate I used to know used to go to them and said the ladies there were like psychologists.

Take care

prostitutes are a blight, any benefit they give for a problem has a better solution anyway.
