An Intriguing But Controversial Issue: History Of Prostitution

August 18th, 2017

Awake Goy

With the rise of Catholic Europe, all forms of sexual activity outside of marriage were regarded as sinful.

Eventually prostitution became a prosecutable offense. As European colonization continuously expanded, legislation increasingly enacted a tighter control of the sex trade. Britain’s Contagious Diseases Act is one such example of the attempt to curb the spread of venereal disease and represented a trend of increasing political regulation over the practice. For example, physical examinations could be compulsory and prostitutes forced to undergo them.

In a world where we cannot, for the most part, attribute to prostitution a religious significance, according to some, the answer in dealing with such a trade is to allow it to persist – that is, to allow both men and women to continue to choose their own profession, while also ensuring that such individuals have the full support of the law in earning their living. Awareness (both social and legal) corresponds to safety for those who choose to enter the sex trade.
