Do Prostitutes Deserve Respect ????

I will say why not?

At least I have no answer to this. I wonder why despite being the oldest profession & an indispensable one, prostitution does not command respect. The situation was not like that before. In Indra Sabha the "apsaras" did command respect. Royal courtesans used to command respect & they did not offer sex to all & sundry.

Basically each one had some benefactors to take care of them rest could only see them singing & dancing. Hold it, I am not saying that I will not mind if my friends joins the profession.
All I am saying is that sex is a natural urge of human being to satisfy which society has devised the institution of marriage where apart from enjoyment of physical intimacy couple can raise a family, pass down the inheritance & form the first or grass root level for the constitution of society & state.

But what about singles or those having huge appetite or are away from family for extended periods & those who are single? Suppression of sex may give rise to complications. Yes I am speaking for men. Women specially younger once seldom have to pay for sex. I am against any kind of force in flesh trade. So no one should enter this line out of poverty. There should always bean option to opt out & lead life as a couple. which sadly is missing now.
Apart from Purchase & sale of girls sharing of earning with cops & criminals & spread of diseases are some real issues.

There may be women for whom morality is no issue & are willing to provide sex if money is good compared to any other vocation. It is being done already by women known as escorts. Call centers, hotels, airline, travel &tourism, modeling & acting. Casting couch is not a foreign word. May be a time will come when sex will be out of closet & prostitution will also get an industry status well regulated & monitored by the state in an orderly manner & writing sex worker as occupation will not raise eye brows just like modeling or acting.

If the government is taking serious steps for providing equal staus for men & women....Why are guys like SRK & John Abraham applauded for their skin show & prostitutes cursed for that.

Note I have never visited a brothel or have any intention to do so in future or have any link with sex trade. Prostitutes deserve respect because they are honest & hardworking professionals.

But Prostitution MUST be out of choice & not by compulsion
