I wonder what it takes for a person to become a prostitute. A whore. What it takes to push someone over that edge and have sex for money. Some say it's just sex, others say it's something personal and I understand them both. It's just an animal instinct meant for reproduction and, in our case, pleasure, but to have it with people you don't know and get paid? To not know where you will end up and if you'll make it out alive?
I suppose it depends on where and how you grow up. I know that I will never be able to have sex with someone that I don't know - it's just too intimate for me. (Then again - I don't touch people unless I bump into them.) That doesn't mean that I haven't thought about it - prostitution would be easy money and I wouldn't be the one committing a crime. You see, here in Sweden it's illegal to buy sexual services, but not to sell.
They say that prostitution is the oldest job in the world and I know that a lot of countries down south have brothels. I had a friend once who said that he believed that brothels kept rapists from the streets because then they had someone to go to get their sexdrive satisfied. I asked him if he was serious and he was. I think he saw the brothel-prostitutes as just that; whores. Worth less than you an me. A whore can't get raped - she wants it - why else would she be there?
I suppose I shouldn't condemn these countries - we've had brothels here too - and I suppose that my friend did have some sort of valid point in his mind, but a rape is a rape. If it's in a back alley or a hotel suite - it'll still be a rape. Whether it's a man or a woman, it'll still be a rape. Whether there's payment involved or not, it'll still be a rape.
Yes, I've thought about it myself because it really would be easy, tax-free money, but no, I don't like the thought of getting raped.
We saw Die Hard today. A cavalcade in early 90's-fashion. Did you know that Bruce Willis puts on a different coloured shirt somewhere after the first 30 minutes of the movie? He's hot, old Brucie and yes, the movie was quite entertaining - very much above the average. I think I'll give it four plants out of five. I'm just not that into bang-bang.
I am incredibly zoomed out. I haven't been this distant in years - damn, I've missed it!
