It's mutually consensual and beneficial, and they don't walk away with half your shit when things go south.

Better than rapists. No more no less.
Think of the local economy
My opinion is based on an older gentleman commiserating on how difficult it was for young impoverished students to pay for everything nowadays. I was in debt, and had at just that moment come out at the LGB soc. That person was my bank manager.
Subs that pay doms don't bother me at all.
I think it should be considered rape.
Men who pay for sex are the driving force behind human trafficking.
I'm all for freedom, and I will acknowledge that there are probably women in the "sex trade" who were not trafficked or coerced into it, but that number pales in comparison to the number of girls who have been stolen and forced into a horrific life, having lost all control of their future. Freedom is among the most important qualities of human life, and the horror of human trafficking and the way it completely removes all freedom from the lives of its victims trumps the freedom of choosing to sell sex.
Most places, prostitution is illegal, enforced by going after the prostitute and slapping the wrists of the men who use them. I find it immoral and reprehensible that women would be criminalized for this.
Rather, men who make use of sex workers should be ostracized from society and imprisoned as rapists. And the women should be treated with compassion and care, as victims of abuse.
How do you believe women (and men, and NBs) who willingly go into this line of work should be treated?
The same thing I think about anyone who pays for something they can find for free if they looked hard enough.
listen, i can get a burger for free out of dumpster, but I'd rather pay for one from the menu.
Why does it have to be out of a dumpster and not, like, from a friend who invites you to a BBQ? Don't you have standards?
Let me just find my barbecuing friend and invite myself, ezpz
