Is sex a basic human right?
In the Netherlands sex is considered a basic human right. So disabled citizens can recieve government funds to pay for prostitutes up to 12 times a year? In America you go to jail for trying to satisfy normal sexual urges, like hiring a prostitute. Something is wrong with us, we judge the people that can't find a partner for whatever reason and expect them to remain celibate. One of the reasons all our catholic priests are becoming pervs!.

Understand that the question is: a disabled person and i am now including people that for whatever reason cannot ever get into a sexual relationship (dis-formed, hideous, etc.) should have the right to hire a partner that is willing to perform coitus or sexual act for a monetary exchange. which they would never get otherwise

no what?
It is not.
You’re forgetting that prostitution can fall under sex trafficking real quick so I don’t see anything positive out of the US ever adopting that law. And it’s a need not a right.
Sex is a normal and natural human function, nevertheless whoring and having sex with hookers is immoral and should be unacceptable.
Actually, in the Animal world, the strongest male fights for mating rights. It is a need not a right.
Lol i don't have an issue getting it do i can't relate.
It should be a basic human right. What's funny is republicans want people to keep having white kids, but yet they also don't want people having sex at the same time
It is definitely a basic need, but it is not a right.
What if there were no prostitutes? What happens to your basic human rights then?
Prostitution has been around as long as life has been around that would never be the case, your answer is ridiculous!
It's a hypothetical question.
a silly one at that
Not a right even if a "basic need" by any standards.
It's more of a basic need than menstrual pads though.
It is odviously not a basic need, You don't need it to survive.
I think it's a basic human right though, Everyone should have the right to have sex or not have sex.
No. A person will survive without it
WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE WOMEN ON HERE 😂👍
And they claim their land to be the freedom country. The sad part is that it's not a joke nor funny.
No hate for America but still.
Germany and Netherlands allow trading money for sex. The government doesn't mind at all.
The question in the heading and the question in the poll are two very different questions with two completely opposite answers (at least from me). Sex absolutely is a human need (at least for most of us. There are a few exceptions). Aside from feeling really good it bonds us to our chosen partner in a very unique way. It also (obviously) is what creates human life. Most of us are biologically wired to have such a strong drive for sex that it's probably the highest human need behind eating, drinking, and sleeping.
HOWEVER, just because it's a human need doesn't mean it's a human right. You don't have a right to have sex with anyone. I guess you have a right to pleasure yourself if you want, but that's it. That's the only form of sex any person has a right to.
the question Im trying to get across is: is it a right to be able to hire a prostitute without going to jail if thats the only way your going to get a human partner for sex
