A prostitute, recovering from whatever bad decisions she made to get herself into prostitution, wants to lecture us on freedom:
"Sawyer asked me about preserving the 'sanctity' of my body, as though sex without the imprimatur of love were inherently degrading," the blogger chides.
"I feel like I can only sigh, because I doubt I can begin to penetrate the many layers of misunderstandings and preconceptions, let alone that relentless working assumption that a woman's value as a human being decreases as she gains sexual experience."

She can only sigh, because if she looked within, she'd see that she's still a whore and in a few years no one will care. She will gain sexual experience, which is sort of like getting good at backrubs, and in exchange she'll also gain sexual alienation. No stable marriage for her, but more years of getting old alone and wondering what she did with her youth.
And she wants us to follow her in the name of "freedom."
Drug addicts, pedophiles and swingers feel the same way.
Somehow, I don't think my path -- or that of anyone I know who is not a loser -- will go in that direction. Even if they've memorized words like "imprimatur."

Re: Elect Whores Only
While capitalism is intrinsically a systemic encouragement of whorish behavior, whores are as old as civilization itself, and frightfully ubiquitous. The woman in the above article obviously misses the larger picture, and neglects the fact that most whores from every period in history have been unhappy with their career choices -- but the term 'career' itself implies prostitution, and is something from which very few individuals have ever been exempt since the advent of agriculture and the division of labor. Capitalism exacerbates this and expediates its growth, but the politically correct office assistant whose life is consumed by stress is even less noble than a woman who sells her body for money, and may, to some degree, be less happy. Just remember: All great artists had patrons; which is worse? to sell the body for profit or to sell an abstract product of the Will for the exact same reason? Mozart and Francisco Goya were also whores.
