Flesh and Thorns

I have a confession to make. I have patronized a prostitute in my early days of youth…

Are you reeling in disgust? Heartbeats paused for a moment? Or nodding in empathy, have your curiosity rising with increasing eagerness for mind-blowing details of my encounter?

No. It was not me who did. It was my friend. And when I managed to gain control of my retarded, wide-open mouth, he got me shrieking madly with extreme facial expressions with openly displayed repulsion and shooting questions at him like an interrogating prosecutor in the courtroom..

“You went looking for prostitute?!”

Such a young, promising and innocent looking guy…I can’t bring myself to imagine him in embrace with a scantily clad Philippines woman, having sex in a dingy room, on a sweat-stained mattress…

A friend said that I am naïve. This is such a common thing and many men did that. It could be anyone… Just anyone. I beg to differ cos I am plainly out-dated or rather conservative (guess someone gonna die of laughter at the thoughts of me being conservative). Sex with a stranger is not of an eyebrow-raising topic at all.

This palpable existence of flesh trade bothers me. The types of men who pay for sex too.

In my opinion, any self-respecting men will NOT fall for such flesh traps. They hold women in reverence and will forbid themselves from contributing to this degrading, foul trade. I have always thought that only those old dirty men will be the major part of the demand; not teenagers… not the NS men... not my friends.

Maybe I am a stick in the mud but I’m strongly against sex trade and will lose any amount of respect I have for you- should you have or going to partake in this revolting business.

Think about it. The basics of Microeconomics study~ the theory of demand and supply. Should the demand for paid sex decreases; the supply of girls will need to drop. Then there will be lesser child kidnapping cases. Young girls with hungry families will not be forced to prostitution or to earn money for their pimp boyfriends. Those girls will seek proper jobs, which allow them to hold their heads high for the rest of their life.

Why are we giving those evil traffickers a chance to tear children and women from their families and subject them to such hideous abuses? What rights do they possess to earn money by selling a human life? How can you even bear to buy a twelve years old girl’s body and dignity with money with the knowledge of the consequences.

If she is your child or sister, how will you feel about her servicing men’s dirty needs for survival?

Sex tourism is such a sickening financial aid in those third world countries. These poverty stricken countries need to capitalize on this bustling form of tourism to make ends meet. The tourists that came in the country for sex with their helpless citizens have helped to contribute to the different sectors’ earnings- hotels, food establishments etc. And of course to those damned pimps, brothels and kidnappers.

Those governments know that it is not a morally right boost to economy but they were holding on to it as a ‘temporary’, desperate measure. They said they are stamping out prostitutions but the actions that followed were so feeble and lackadaisically

Then again, if you visited a prostitute, you will have the greatest contributions to the medical sector. Treatments for your well-deserved sexually transmitted, INCURABLE disease are not going to be cheap as what you have paid for that girl’s night.

There isn’t much kindness you have given to this world- so you obviously do not deserve any too. God is ultimately fair.
