Prostitution is the oldest profession on earth, as people know. It hasn't gone away over the centuries, and I don't believe it will. However, today the customers are getting more violent and herein lies the problem. This problem can be tied to other problems as well. There is too much violence on TV, people today are addicted to work rather than love and there are not enough resources for addiction problems. One thing Trisha and I do agree on is that there is too much advertising of women as sex objects.

Trisha mentioned the health risks associated with the sex trade, and used 'barebacking' as an example of what goes on behind closed doors. If a prostitute is going to work 'bareback' (without a condom) with her customer, then she has to be desperate or have a very low self-esteem. It's not just STDs one is exposed to, but the very scary risk of catching AIDS. To jeopardize your life, let alone your health, is what I call stupidity. I used to tell my customers that there isn't a price they could pay for my life, and I could tell it made them think when I said that. I think prostitutes, like any workers, are capable of drawing their own lines...
