Has anyone on here heard of Stockholm Syndrome? Of course we defend the choices we make at the time. When I was in an abusive relationship with a man, I would go on about how happy I was and how much I loved him. Now that I'm out of it, I realise how I had had to tell myself this in order to survive the experience. I wasn't happy at all.
Many ex-lap dancers and ex-prostitutes have come forward to say the same thing, and the blog that I've posted a link to above has an entry on this subject.
^Another red herring is the old one ? put prostitution indoors and regulate it, then everything will be fine and dandy.
No it won?t ? it will just out of your sight, so then you can breathe easy and not think about it.
In what universe are most women and girls safer indoors ? doesn?t battering get named as domestic violence coz it is indoors, isn?t date rape mainly indoors, isn?t the vast majority of child abuse indoors.
So why would prostituted women and girls be so damned safe indoors.
Especially, when many of the bastards that pay for the privilege of indoors prostitution are wanting total privacy, want more time with the prostitute, feel the entitlement to own her body, mind and soul ? tell how the hell that is so safe or even can be made safer.
I tell you true terror is being shut in a small room with streams of men who have the right to use you in any porn fashion they can dream of.
True terror is having some rich man buy you. to keep you for several days, months as his sexual slave.
True terror is being inside a club or brothel, being raped, being used as a porn-toy ? and knowing no-one cares about your injuries, that you get STDs, your crying for even a tiny piece of help ? all that matter is that you made into a machine to be fucked and to get money from.
So what?s so great about indoors prostitution for the prostituted ? I can see it is fabulous for johns and profiteers - but don?t make me laugh, by lying that it will ever be made safe.^
