hye all..our topic is prostitution..many of us had their own definition on this topic..
Prostitution is the act or practice of engaging in sex acts for hire. While prostitution is legal or tolerated in some cultures, it is illegal or socially discouraged in others. Motivations for suppression can vary significantly, from basic moral repugnance to concerns about the effects on society and on those who practice it, as well as whether it is an exploitative practice.In most cultures the prostitutes (the persons who sell sexual servicies) are socially stigmatized; their customers less so. The word "prostitution" can also be used metaphorically to mean debasement or working towards an unworthy cause..

Dear Frenz, I would like share my opinion with all of you regarding prostitution but before that allow me to define the word "prostitution "itself. From the Latin, "prostituere" meaning "to cause to stand in front of". The implication is that one is offering one's body for sale. Prostitution is the sale of sexual activity for money or goods of value such as drugs. In Colloquial usage, the word "prostitute" is something generalised the mean of selling one's services for a cause thought to be unworthy,in the sense of "prostituting oneself" or "whoring oneself".From my reading on this topic, I discovered that prostitution is called the worlds oldest profession for good reason. It can be traced at least to ancient Mesopotamia, where the temple prostitution flourished. The Greek Historian Herodotus noted that all women in the city were expected to put in some time at the temple. They would offer their bodies to passing strangers, who would make "religious' donation.
