A lot of feminists say that these are two circumstances in which women are exploited. Oh and btw we are talking about legal practices but if relevant illegal facts can be brought to the discusion.

my view is that you could argue that it is fact men who are exploited. how exactly? the common male's sexuality is always perceived to be horny all the time. I don't know about you in the states but I remember being told whilst growing up that men think about sex every 10 seconds, and loads of other stuff that basically implied men want sex all the time.

doesn't pornography and prostitution therefore mean that the women (and men if you're gay) are exploiting the common man's sexuality as they sell sex?

I personally would think it's harsh to say one party suffers more than the other, and whether either party find themselves shamed for their actions or degraded is subjective, as not everyone is as prone to these feelings as everyone else.

be nice to hear what you guys think on the topic though
