How is prostitution "degrading"?

I don't understand how it can be degrading. Yes, obviously slavery-bound prostitution is degrading (due to the forced nature of it), but as for women whom voluntarily became involved in prostitution, how is it degrading? They are receiving fair market value for their services. The most skilled and marketable they are, the more they earn--with many women earning several hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. It is like any other market service-oriented prefession in this regard, yet few people say being a plumber, doctor, construction worker, lawyer, etc. is degrading. What gives?

  • because traditionally the human body is considered sacred

  • Yes very

  • I think it's degrading to the person who uses prostitution.

  • Provided the woman is an adult and is doing it of her own free will. I don't think it is degrading. Not everyone thinks sex is some sacred act.

  • Think about how people shit themselves when women have a lot of sexual partners. Then add in the factor that they do it for money and you have your answer.

    • I love sluts, personally.

    • Lmao well good for you :)
