The Humanity of Prostitution
» Sex Workers
Uncommonly sensible words about sex work in a review of writings on that theme:
If it is inhumane to belittle the miseries of the prostitute, it is no less inhumane to minimise the miseries that make some men their clients. There is at least this to be said about the Prada call girls with their obliging mouths and vaginas—along with the freedoms they insist on for themselves, they grant men the freedom to be creatures of desire. Why, when all is said and done, should a prostitute not be touched by a man’s shyness or ineptitude or sadness, or made curious by his turning up in her room looking for he doesn’t know what, or excited when on rare occasions what he does want coincides with what she does?
