Prostitution do more harm than good

First of all, 1. Subjective value is not a valid argument for a national debate. The government needs to educate and make sure the civil has an objective constructive value. Of course we already know that the reason people buy something is because there is a higher value than the paid cost. But for some transaction, people do not make a wise choice. This is where we should educate the people to make a decision not only to include pleasure as value, but also a constructive one. Example : Eating fast food, smoking cigarettes, narcotics and gambling. I believe that people are not always wise in making decisions, and that is where the government needs to interfere by making some policies such as tax, or even banning all negative commodities for the sake of people. Take example where people gambling in las vegas. The people know very well that the house will always win in the long run, but they still gamble for so many hours and end up the majority of the people go home losing the money. There is a big difference in activities such as smoking cigarettes, consuming narcotics and rock climbing, sky diving, car racing, hockey. For one example, constructive value that we still have in rock climbing,sky diving, car racing and hockey such as Not only pleasure. take example of rock climbing although we know that the sport is risky for your safety, Climbing is good for your physical health in developing muscles endurance and mental benefits, and social benefits (because there will usually be a community). For there are so many benefits, I believe such dangerous sports still objectively do more good than harm. 2. About the fake consent being made. The contender can not compare in a failure service delivered in prostitution transaction and automobile sales activity. 1 thing because a failure of service in prostitution activities is irreversible. and sometimes deadly. Not only it could makes harm that impact to both parties (seller and consumer), it could also impact to another persons such as the lover of the consumer who are innocent. The spread of STDs will be much higher where we provide a place that concentrate sexual activities. The automobile sales has a return policy if the sales do not meet customer satisfaction. I think for more serious risk we need more serious precaution such as medical lab report being shown before the activities being performed is important but it is mostly can't be done. 3. Drugs and prostitution. Drugs and prostitution have been documented to have a direct correlation. In 1978, a study showed that use of drugs by prostitutes appeared to be an "adaptation and commitment to a deviant social role". Drug use tended to predate prostitution among low level prostitutes with the connection most likely due to economic necessity. Low level prostitutes tended to use depressants, specifically heroin, as the drug of choice. High class prostitution showed that prostitution predates drug use with stimulants being the drug of choice. A 1994 study among South London prostitutes showed links between sexual behavior, severity of dependence, and use of heroin, alcohol but rarely, cocaine. Source : https://en.wikipedia.org... 4. Prostitution degrades themselves and contender keep saying that it is okay because each party do it voluntarily. I guess the voluntarily is only the customer sides not on the prostitute sides. The prostitutes are well aware that the activities will danger their health and they are not happy in doing their job. And whenever they can quit they will quit. But they still do it anyway because of being paid. I think this is a form of degrading yourself. 5. Prostitution and violent acts. There has been many studies upon this. There are so much cases found violent acts happened in prostitution. Mainly because of paying makes prostitute being treated like commodities not a person. Source : http://www.psychiatrictimes.com... In conclusion, people live way much better without having a shortcut in paying for sex. For my main concern is in health, reduce narcotics, and reduce violant acts.
