8. As I understand sex positivism, I'm probably sex positive to an extreme.

However, I don't fully correlate sex positivity with the moral/ethical acceptability of the prostitution of females, and the prostitution of minor children of either gender whatsoever. Since adult males are overwhelmingly the primary procurers of sexual services, I have not included adult male prostitutes in this equation, although there most assuredly are some adult male prostitutes who are directly or indirectly victimized by the phenomenon of prostitution as it currently manifests.

I'm admittedly generally ignorant on the subject of sex positivism.

Is there some general POV of sex-positivists on the subject of prostitution?

IMO, sex is way overrated. If religions didn't spend so much time and energy repressing Zorra Jun 2012 #19
