I will say why not?
At least I have no answer to this. I wonder why despite being the oldest profession & an indispensable one prostitution does not command respect. The situation was not like that before. In indra sabha the apsaras did command respect. In moghul era tawayef meant fragrance. Royal courteseans used to command clout & respect & they did not offer sex to all & sundry.
Basically each one had some benefactors to take care of them rest could only see them singing & dancing. Hold it, I am not saying that I will not mind if my daughter/wife joins the profession.
All I am saying is that sex is a natural urge of human being to satisfy which society has devised the institution of marriage where apart from enjoyment of physical intimacy couple can raise a family, pass down the inheritance & form the first or grass root level for the constitution of society & state.
But what about singles or those having huge appetite or are away from family for extended periods? Suppression of sex may give rise to complications. Yes I am speaking for men. Women specially younger once seldom have to pay for sex. I am against any kind of force in flesh trade. So no one should enter this line out of poverty. There should always bean option to opt out & lead life as a couple. which sadly is missing now. As any entry becomes a one way street. Ladies past their prime start managing brothels
Apart from Purchase & sale of girls sharing of earning with cops & criminals & spread of diseases are some real issues.
There may be women for whom morality is no issue & are willing to provide sex if money is good compared to any other vocation. It is being done already by women known as escorts. Call centers, hotels, airline, travel &tourism, modeling & acting. Casting couch is not a foreign word. May be a time will come when sex will be out of closet & prostitution will also get an industry status well regulated & monitored by the state in an orderly manner & writing sex worker as occupation will not raise eye brows just like modeling or acting.
Note I have never visited a brothel or have any intention to do so in future or have any link with sex trade. Prostitutes deserve respect because they are honest & hardworking professionals.
But MUST be out of choice & not by compulsion
RSS 
so all depends on morals
when sharrukh can dance in weddings & big b can sell just any thing a call center girl may become a call girl as she wants that car or foreign holiday or flat
so long one does not love the lover what difference does it make if one sleeps with one or many
marital rape is rampant
women put up with drunken husbands who batter them day in & out to have a roof over their head
actors go nude because the role demands
casting couch is well known so....
why ,politicians sell their soul & the country then what is wrong if some one works hard & honestly
yes it has asocial stigma & risk factor but so was sweeping or cobbler
people who cremate dead body
buddha did go to amrapali & had kheer at her place
lord vishnu gave salvation to a pros who had a parrot whom she taught to chant narayan
just think where the society will be in the absence of sex workers
sex starved people will go to hospitals commit suicide or rape so they act as a dam on the urge to have sex
i think they do deserve highest honor
if they are fallen what about persons who visit them why do not we condemn them?
hamne unko jate dekha chupke 2 in galiyon main
kuch to log kahenge
the first lady of france karla had posed nude & had multiple lovers
why double standard ?
truth is bitter
Sometimes i think, that either i'm crazy or the people are crazy, who don't want to understand the basic logic and sacrifice humanity and happiness for all kind of rituals and customs...
no comparison but if nurses are respected why not prostitutes both attend to sick can i say
i adore nurses & by this comparison no insult is meant
but they do clean the toilet of sick which even their spouse will not
so getting dirty need not have social stigma
there are women who will die for the sake of their honor
each to her own
a matter of choice who are we to pass judgment
so long it is by choice
a path to return /alternate career exists i have no problem
just because i am a vegetarian or a teetotaler or non gambler does not mean i will put a lock on such establishments
the two are different domains , period
The money can go for their healthcare and children’s education. This is the only way spread of STDs can be curbed — education and healthcare.
As far as respect for prostitutes is concerned, every human being, or for that matter even animals have rights including the right to dignity. So, you can’t abuse or violate the human rights of anyone, including prostitutes.
The lower class women maybe doing it to feed their children..if they work as a domestic helper… they wont get that much money even if they work whole day...and they wont have the qualification or experience to do any other job..
I have no respect for them ......
I've been told by the guys that women on the streets sells sex for merely RS 10 or 20.
They lay their child at a corner.. goes with the man for sometime and comes back to feed the child with that money.. A child, who's a bastard and tomorrow has all the possibilities to turn into an anti-social element.
Think at the ground level Maya. These people need help for the upliftment of our society. We should give them respect so that tomorrow they don't turn into criminals who rob our houses, kill our loved ones.
Treat them well. Every human deserves human rights; be it prostitutes, poor, eunuchs, beggars; and not just the ones with mobile phones or credit cards in their pockets.
