Choices...

Just the other day,i was talking to babe and suddenly the topic of prostitution came up. The question that arose was, why did they want to do it? Well,it's really puzzling as to why these women want to choose the flesh trade out of all the possible jobs that are out there. My stand is simple,that since they have hands and legs,they could easily find themselves a job. Though it may not earn them much or rather as much as prostitution would,it is nonetheless a much more societal-acceptable job and on top of that,they need not degrade themselves and put themselves at the mercy of their clients or worse still,diseases. From what i see,the bulk of them who are in this trade are probably in it for the money. They couldn't care less about how society views them probably because to them,it's just their livelihood. As for how they can go about convincing themselves to sleep with stangers, from what me and babe discussed, it could be that they assume themselves to be sleeping with someone they truly love so as to get into the "mood" or perhaps they have just numbed themselves to all that is going on to the extent that their body is now just an outer shell,meant to help them make money. Whatever the reason is,i believe that the social stigmatism towards them will always be there. It is just not so simple to convince the general public to accept what they are doing. Afterall,sex is supposed to take place under the conditions of love or at the least bit,infatuation as in the case of one night stands. Till the very day that society warms up to such a trade,i believe that there will be many other people out there like me who would question why is it that these women or men would make such choices in life.
