>Like I said it is legal in NZ
If they weren't being paid for it then it wouldn't be prostitution, it would be consensual sex between two adults
But that doesn't change the issue of 'I can do whatever I want with you (within certain guidelines) for x amount of time for x amount of dollars'. And no way, oh, no way would they be giving it to you for free.
And what are the psychological consequences of doing that for the average working girl?This of course is tied to the money issue and it is does lead to people being treated as objects.
I don't know what you went through. I assumed it wasn't that bad since your post seemed relatively at ease, despite the word abuse appearing. Whoever treated you callously like dirt without feelings, as if you were a manipulable object ( in my opinion branding people is an example ) was defintely doing something wrong.
If you don't like porn, it's find by me. I just find it a little irksome when someone says it's one of the worst offenders when it comes to objectifying women, since I looked at it a lot when I was younger and I still look at it. ( and I know other people do ) That and I've never had the thick skin of a bully.
