Perhaps it wasn't the greatest comparison, but it still illustrates my point: Everyone draws their line somewhere, and this is where I draw mine.

I don't think "Selling your body" is an inaccurate or emotionally charged description. Strippers, hookers, and porn stars are all paid for their bodies. It's that simple...

I am also not attacking your morals. Your posts inferred that you would not date her because her career choice was not something you stood for. What I am trying to say is; The reason you would not date her is not because of what SHE has done wrong, but because YOU have issues with it. Not her.

What it is, is, you prefer chocolate to vanilla. That doesn't make vanilla wrong.
I never said I wouldn't date someone in the sex industry because it's wrong to be in the sex industry. My reasons are exactly that: My reasons.
