Would you support your son/daughter child becoming a prostitute?

So, if Ireland was to make the sale of sex legal. Would you like your son or daughter to do it for a living?
We often read threads with people saying Ireland should legalise it.

Would you support your son/daughter child becoming a prostitute?

Tom Mann Centuria · 14-07-2017 12:52AM

I'd hope they would earn enough to support themselves.

And no, it's not a career I'd choose for my children when they grow up.

dilallio · 14-07-2017 12:54AM

No way!

Edit: Sorry OP - I thought you said Protestant!

mikeybrennan · 14-07-2017 12:54AM

No

RayM · 14-07-2017 12:56AM

I'd be happier that they were doing it legally (and in a safe environment), rather than illegally (with all the added dangers that inevitably brings).

eviltwin · 14-07-2017 12:58AM

Once they were going in with their eyes open and working independently then yes. There should be no stigma to selling sexual services ( or buying it)

pangbang · 14-07-2017 12:59AM

But would your prostitute support your son/daughter becoming a child?

14-07-2017 12:59AM

I'd support them but I probably wouldn't avail of their services.

WoollyRedHat · 14-07-2017 01:03AM

If they wanted to be a hooker and hoped to represent Ireland I'd tell them to jump at the opportunity.

Sven Hassel · 14-07-2017 01:06AM

No I'd be disgusted.

14-07-2017 01:11AM

Childless man answer: No. Because I don't want my children, male or female, exposed to vulnerable, potentially violent situations. I'd also hate any child of mine to become a doorman or a Garda.

Father answer: NO MAN WILL EVER TOUCH MY DAUGHTER.

B.A._Baracus · 14-07-2017 02:04AM

Nope.

Prostitution is a seedy seedy game. Full of coke-heads, mentally messed-up people, tarts and a-holes.... let's not sugar coat things. So why would anyone support their child involved in something like that?

14-07-2017 03:37AM

with the kind of people that avail of those services and even with protection, the kind of stds that are becoming prevalent, just read about super gonorrehea! :eek:
Id definitely be steering them away from it, but it'd be long before they reached the point in time where they were likely to be sprining this on me as a surprise.
Thinking about it, if the catholic institutions and mentality really wanted to prevent young people from having sex going back to and before I was young, they should have being promoting sex education, a lot of what I'm reading now about STD's is damn scary, re untreatable antibitotic resistant strains.

No, has any Jaysus said yes yet?

Kate's Father: I'm sad because, my darling, our poverty has reached such extremes that I can no longer afford to keep us and must look to my own dear tiny darling to sustain me in my frail dotage.

Kate: But father surely...

Kate's Father: Yes, Kate. I want you to become a prostitute.

Kate: Never! Father.

Kate's Father: Do you defy me?

Kate: Indeed I do for tis better to die poor than to live in shame and ignominy.

Kate's Father: No it isn't.

Kate: I'm young and strong, clever, my nose is pretty. I shall find another way to earn a living.

Kate's Father: Oh please go on the game. It's a steady job and you'd be working from home.

Something about having breakfast.

Only if they offered a discount.

I should imagine your son or daughter is more at risk of such diseases on a Friday or Saturday night after too much drink with a local girl in the back of a car than with someone who does it for a living.

Besides those diseases have been around as long as humans have existed and until recently there was no drugs to treat them. It never stopped people having unprotected sex with anyone and it never stopped people selling or using sex to obtain money or other. Penicillin wasn't discovered until 1928 so not even 100 years yet and humans around for how long, millions of years?

If you live your life by newspaper headlines you will certainly go nuts!

That would depend on whether they themselves want to be doing it. I would not "like" my child to end up in a career they do not want to be in. I would like my child to end up in a career that they want to be in - and chose for themselves.

And if that is a career somewhere in the sex industry - they I would be as entirely ok with that as any other choice they make for themselves - and I would support them in the same way there as I would anywhere else.

Samaris · 14-07-2017 08:44AM

No, it's a rough job, it can be dangerous to the individual and there's a thick layer of social shame to it that can't help but make someone's life harder. It is a dead-end job at best and can be deadly at worst. Plus it is opening them up to all the awful aspects of life that can push someone on the game, like drugs and the seedier elements that come with that.

There will always be prostitution and prostitutes and a very small percentage of them might be doing it because they actually enjoy it as a career choice, but I wouldn't particularly encourage someone to experiment with it to see if they are one of that small percentage.

Interesting

but only if you allow others to know and really should we go around living our lives as to what OTHERS think we should? [/QUOTE]

It is a dead-end job

We all do plenty of them I am afraid.

...........at best and can be deadly at worst.

I wouldn't say it's anywhere near as dangerous as working on a building site or other hazardous occupation.

Plus it is opening them up to all the awful aspects of life that can push someone on the game, like drugs

Could say the same about doctors, nurses and vets or anyone with free access to drugs.

...........and the seedier elements that come with that.

What are these?

sbsquarepants · 14-07-2017 08:55AM

I have no problem with prostitution - I think it should be entirely legal, but no I wouldn't want my daughter (or son for that matter) to be one.

I see no contradiction whatsoever in that. I wouldn't like my son to be a fireman for example - I don't think firemen should be banned.

Anything to add to that - other than random personal comments? Did you post get chopped off at the end by the system maybe? The comma suggests there was more but somehow it did not post?

Samuel T. Cogley · 14-07-2017 09:02AM

Unless the new legislation has been enacted prostitution is and has been legal for a long time. The contracts are probably unenforceable though.

not at all, I dont think i need to elaborate any further, someone who would actively encourage/refrain from discouraging his son or daughter to become a prostitute is touched in the head, in my opinion.

I wonder just like many other laws if someone could explain as to why a law was introduced making it illegal to use part of your body for reward:)

Would the same apply to manual workers, footballers etc etc?

What do you see wrong with being a prostitute or other kind of sex worker/porn star.
