    All men pay for sex in one way or an other. Don't think that you're any better just because the arrangement is implied rather than explicit

    Let's change that to all people pay for sex one way or another and I will go along with that.

    Must say though that I'd rather no-one paid their lives for it without having a choice but that is something altogether different - sex with no choice is no choice at all. Sometimes the PC bit needs adding in!

    Souns pretty sexist to me. Lots of women in my circle of friends are equal partners also financially, if not the breadwinner in their relationship. And in some couples I know the woman is more interested in sex than the man.

    I don't think people are better, but I think some acts are better than other. It seems a morally better act to be a loving husband in an equal relationship, than to hand over cash to a junkie or victim of trafficing.

    So not being exploited then?

    Sorry was that to me? I missed it so apologies if it was to me. Were the girls I met exploited? Some but not all. The young girls with drug problems were often exploited and for many it was the exploiter who got them onto drugs. A couple of them were well organised, had a plan, paid their taxes and got out while they were still young. For some it was a matter of dealing with a crisis, husband out of work and debt problems, suddenly a single parent and money worries. Various reasons. I think things have got worse with foreign girls being trafficked in.
