Sex and Morality
- There was a time when sex outside marriage was considered evil. That simple
assumption solved all contradictions. Women were either saints or sinners.
- When sex outside marriage stops being a sin, the morality of sex is debatable (and what follows can be applied to men too).
- There are women who have sex for money: these are called "prostitutes" and
are in fact considered criminals in all countries. Somehow, governments think
that doing manual or intellectual work for money is perfectly legal, but using
sex for the same goal is not.
- There are women who use sex to find a husband and start a family. These "pragmatic women" have sex with a smaller number of men but nonetheless use sex
to achieve their goal.
- There are "party girls" who use sex not for money but just to have fun.
- Somehow society has decided that using sex for fun is perfectly normal,
and using it to find a husband is also normal, but using it to make money is
not. It is not clear from where this ranking of sex practices originates.
