(1,250 posts)It's the sex.
That's what scares 'em.
Sex is "dirty" in America & we can't be put on the same level as a lowly filthy prostitute.
We are of "better breeding" than to be compared with such dregs of society.
That's the stigma I'm talking about.
The same stigma that won't let things change.
Which keeps the criminal underbelly embedded into a profession that is at the forefront of a health-focused society.
Sexual relations are a subset of Social relations.
When the hippies said Make Love Not War, I took them seriously.
That IS the answer.
Because the last thing people are wanting to do after having a good orgasm is fight somebody.
These sex workers actually provide an invaluable service for the world.
They're probably better off being called Sex Nurses or Sex Doctors.
After all sexual health has benefits towards overall health.
I'd like to live in a society where blowjobs take precedent over blow-bombs.
A society weighted toward "Freaking" is a society weighted against Fighting.
It was hard enough getting people to say "I am Trayvon Martin" & "I am Michael Brown".
I know good & well we ain't gon' get anyone to say "I am a prostitute".
You ain't gonna get that kind of solidarity in the land where sex is "dirty".
These fine upstanding people won't put that Scarlet Letter on themselves.
And therefore things will stay the same.
