>If that doesn't make sense to you, I suggest taking off the ideological glasses.

You might want to check and see who is wearing the ideological glasses. You are the one who has the hangup here.

Sex is. People enjoy sex. People can enjoy sex with close intimate partners or flings. People can enjoy sex or perform it for money. Not all sex work is penetrative either.

You've got a narrow and restrictive view of the world.

[_8j50]

Human psychology is not a world view. This is not a matter if opinion. You are just stuck on an extremist view where sex is cool in a ll context when it isn't.

[flangola7]

You're right, it's not a matter of opinion, and in this case you are the one with the wrong opinion.

[_8j50]

99.9% of humanity is on my side on this. You're free to have your opinion just keep in mind it isn't valid just because you say it is. I told you how things are and you did not refute what I said, you just made ideological statements and mental gymnastics to help you hold on to your opinion. The world is not as black and white as you want it to be.

[Thiez]

If 99.9% of humanity agrees that sex work is bad, then surely sex workers and their customers combined must make up at most 0.1% of the population, right? And yet there are an estimated 1 to 2 million prostitutes in the US, so about 0.2% of the population, and presumably the clients outnumber the sex workers... so your magic number seems very very unlikely. I doubt even 99.9% of your friends and family would share your opinion, though they may not feel comfortable admitting this to you (you seem rather judgemental and close-minded).

> 99.9% of humanity is on my side on this.

Citation very much needed.

> I told you how things are

You very much did not. You shared your opinion, just like you did with the 99.9% "statistic". Get over yourself.

[_8j50]

It was obviously a guesstimate not a statistic. It was my opinion but it is also correct, go outside and ask random people how they feel about this and find out for yourself.

> It was my opinion but it is also correct

You are clearly unable to have a discussion in any sort of good faith. You cannot just assert things are true and then say, "Well, they were just my opinion, but also they are axiomatically true."

I'm done. You'll probably tell me that I'm being ideological or something, but I don't have the time to argue with someone who isn't able to engage in a productive dialog. (Either the "we have different opinions, and that's ok, let's talk through them and listen" or the "here's some factual discussion, with some sources that aren't anecdata.")
