I'm hoping that wasn't a referral about me, as I'm not near ugly, have been with many beautiful women, and maybe understand this a little better than those who promote it and benefit from it, but don't see that dark side like you mentioned. Of course supporters will dismiss the negatives, as they're only interested in themselves I don't resent any woman that's decent and isn't taking a man and using him................... People who support prostitution often focus only on personal desire or the idea of personal choice, while ignoring the deeper harms tied to the industry. When people have a strong interest in keeping prostitution legal or accessible, they may block out the painful realities faced by many sex workers. Why Supporters Ignore the Negatives Confirmation bias: People search for ideas that prove they are right and ignore facts that show harm. Cognitive dissonance: Admitting that prostitution causes pain creates mental stress for those who pay for or promote it. Focus on convenience: It is easier to think of the act as a simple business transaction than to face the human cost. Denial of power imbalance: Supporters often pretend that everyone in the trade has equal power and freedom. The Real Negatives They Often Dismiss Human trafficking: Many people in the sex trade are forced, tricked, or trapped against their will. High rates of violence: Physical abuse, rape, and murder happen at high rates to people selling sex. Mental trauma: Many workers suffer from severe depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress. Lack of safe exit: Poverty and a lack of other jobs trap many people in the industry.
