You can't end the demand for creation.

This blog is for those who favor the Swedish approach to prostitution that focuses on targeting the Johns, also know as the end demand. This law that targets men but allows a woman to sell sexual services, was first enacted by the government of Sweden. Later on Norway adopted the same law and a few other governments have been contemplating it. What they fail to realize is the same demand for prostitution, is the same demand that creates us. We are born because of the demand for sexual gratification. If we were born out of a demand for war, or to be at each others throats all the time, we could not be born from the gathering of two people. Instead, we would be reproduced as robots with no ability to act on freewill.

On top of the law unfairly targeting men, just like all those other laws in place prohibiting prostitution, it doesnot stop it. Anytime something that is of harm to no one becomes prohibited, criminal activity is encouraged to surround it. In a world where most people want to move towards equality, it is double standard and a step backwards to allow for the sell of something, but criminalize the buyer.

I wounder what law makers were thinking when they were putting together the end demand law. Surely they didn't think they were making strides in woman's rights. I thought women fought for the right to their bodies. But if they are doing something with their bodies that some people don't like, something about it has to be criminalized. Sure they don't think they are protecting a woman by criminalizing the hand that feeds her. I'm not applying that to all women. I'm just saying some women like having sex for money. I know it's hard to accept, but some women truly enjoy sex and the money that comes from being desired for sex.

If you go along with laws that target male clients of prostitutes, I ask you, are you willing to pay every hooker $200 dollars a night? She has mouths to feed, even if it's her own. Why do you want to block her from a source of income? No one is saying that she can't do anything else or she is less intelligent than a man. Many women have used the sex industry to pay their way through college. Matter of facet, it takes an intelligent women to stay on top of her game in the sex business. If you take away the Johns, what are your plans to help every woman in need who lack resources? Surely your plan of women empowerment through male impediment doesn't only cater to women who would sell their bodies at night.

To end demand of sex workers, you have to end the demand of human reproduction. And that is a demand that always comes with the supply.
