Existential question about prostitution

[burythehatchet]

...and please take a minute or two to ponder your response...

If a prostitute engages a prostitute for services, is it really prostitution?

[Magrittes Pipe]

1. If a cook buys a burger from a cook, is it still food service?

2. Don't get all Socratic on me!

6. If a pope shits in the woods,

does anybody smell it?

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

3. Uhm, yeah?

I don't think this question is quite as deep as you were hoping.

[Richard Steele]

4. Of course. If I buy art from another artist, it's still art.

[serryjw]

5. Sure

Its not what you ARE but what you DO that makes it illegal

8. So when Prostitute A - Randy "Duke" Cunningham

is provided Prostitute B - a hooker, it would be illegal?

[serryjw]

13. This is a loaded question

I have not been following the Cunningham prostitute scandal but I still Post 5

7. Ponder this, its ok to give it away but its not ok to sell it. Yet isn't

that called marriage? When people marry its for support and sex, so isn't marriage another form of prostitution? I mean after all for having sex with your mate in trade you get food, shelter and money to buy things with.

9. I think most families have both partners working.

so it's back to the OP question then.

12. Like the song says:

If I can't sell it
Gonna keep sittin' on it
Never catch me givin' it away.

14. I'm with you. Marriage is prostitution with a lifetime contract.

Which is not as much of a criticism as it sounds. People should be able to make that deal if they want to. But, then, I think it's a bit unfair to haul the cash-only women (or men, of course) into jail.

Prostitution may not be much of a life, but it really shouldn't be the state's business.

10. If you hear that Cheney will be shooting in the woods,

will you still duck and cover no matter where you are?:)

11. If a prostitute gives it away, it is not really prostitution but a gift
