4. For some, that is the case. 50% seems to be a generous estimate.

For the other 50-90%, it is not so much fun. Unless you consider the conditions described by so many in the life, but not by choice, as fun.

Allowing all these other women to suffer for the sake of the maybe 50% who actually do enjoy it? To me, it is not a fair trade.

As the evidence grows over the coming years it is inevitable. It's just a matter of how much longer this kind of suffering will go on before then.

I wanted to include this in the OP as well.

Pierrette Pape believes that there are consequences to the way prostitution is viewed in various countries. "Nowadays, a little boy in Sweden grows up with the fact that buying sex is a crime. A little boy in the Netherlands grows up with the knowledge that women sit in display windows and can be ordered like mass-produced goods." Pape is the spokeswoman of the European Women's Lobby in Brussels, an umbrella group for 2,000 European women's organizations.
