In one study, 75% of women in escort prostitution had attempted suicide. Prostituted women comprised 15% of all completed suicides reported by hospitals. (Letter from Susan Kay Hunter, Council for Prostitution Alternatives, Jan 6, 1993, cited by Phyllis Chesler in "A Woman's Right to Self-Defense: the case of Aileen Carol Wuornos," in Patriarchy: Notes of an Expert Witness, 1994, Common Courage Press, Monroe, Maine.

I've glanced through the study ..... not quite sure how to react to it so I'll let the faithful Board members weigh in. I wonder how long this thread will be!!

Four out of five dentists recommend Trident as an effective way of minimizing oral plaque between brushings.

"About 80% of women in prostitution have been the victim of a rape. It's hard to talk about this because..the experience of prostitution is just like rape. Prostitutes are raped, on the average, eight to ten times per year. They are the most raped class of women in the history of our planet. " (Susan Kay Hunter and K.C. Reed, July, 1990 "Taking the side of bought and sold rape," speech at National Coalition against Sexual Assault, Washington, D.C. )

Other studies report 68% to 70% of women in prostitution being raped (M Silbert, "Compounding factors in the rape of street prostitutes," in A.W. Burgess, ed., Rape and Sexual Assault II, Garland Publishing, 1988; Melissa Farley and Howard Barkan, "Prostitution, Violence, and Posttraumatic Stress Disorder," 1998, Women & Health.

Read the first two words of the second sentence in the original post to this thread. That should tell you everything you need to know about the direction of this thread and the intentions of the poster. "Prostituted women" - think about that term. In other words, all female providers in the "sex industry" are in the business only because they were victimized by a man or men. Although they are, for the most part, intelligent adult women, they are, none-the-less, innocent victims who bear no responsibility for their own decisions, their own actions, or even their own lives.

She's baiting us, guys. Best way to handle someone like this? Ignore her - she'll go away.

aperfectsex: Find somewhere else to thump your bible, sweetie. Or better yet, post your prices and some pics - then we'll have something to discuss.

I'm outta here. Enjoy your thread

I think it was Andrea Dwarkin (I am not sure the spelling of her name) who said all sex between a man and a women is rape.
It was a valiant try but this "study" still is not as exteme and irrational as Andrea.
   There are real problems associated with this activity, including suicide. Is the proper response to create a bunch of hopelessly exagerated numbers and rhetoric so extreme as to offend allmost everyone? I think not. This is worse than the boy who cried wolf.  This is the feminist who cries wolf and when men respond to the alarm she kicks them in the privates and berates them for thier patriarchal assumptions about needing to protect her.
   If you want to help ladies, includung prostitutes, help them.
There is alot someone can do. Leave the lies and vitriol with the feminazi professors on campus.

A study should gather information using scientific methods, analyze the data in an objective fashion, and draw conclusions based on the data.  A study should not start with a conclusion and then use only whatever information supports that conclusion.  This is nothing but a smear job that takes the worst aspects of male-female sexual interaction (and yes forced prostitution is horrible; it's one of the worst things one person can do to another) and apply it to virtually the entire spectrum of male-female sexual interaction.  aperfectsex, please go crawl back under the rock you from whence you came.

Here are the prices you asked for, and I shall e-mail you a pic.
Now why don't you post your picture and how much you are willing to pay? Because you're a hypocrite, that's why. You don't want your family and friend's to find out, but you don't care what becomes of your Provider at all. What does it have to do with the Bible, if a friend of yours dies from suicide, it hurts for a long time, it has nothing to do with the Bible at all.
