The Factors..

dear fren,the factor of being prostitude..
ermm..got the idea??..there are many cause,some of them is believe prostitution is an exciting and glamorous lifestyle. Myths about prostitution are built on sexual fantasies promoted by movies, television, and books. Pornography is a major contributing factor prostitution disillusionment. Many young women are lured into prostitution by promises of glamor and riches. But, in reality, they suffer pain, humiliation, and degradation at the hands of pimps and customers. Many times these young women are left alone and penniless to face sexually transmitted diseases and unwanted pregnancies.
People that prostitute themselves become wealthy. This is, again, another myth. Most, if not all, of the earnings from prostitution are taken by a pimp or madame. Lives are controlled, and incomes are guarded by the pimps. The strategy for control is maintained by pimps keeping their prostitutes dependent on them to survive.
so how about u all guys..get smthin else..

farehah..
hye...yea..i do agree with u..many factor of being prostitude..how bout if they have a lots of reasons: Because they Love sex and money... Because they are talked into it or forced into it by someone else ... Because they are trying to support an addiction... Because having started prostituting themselves they don't know how to get out of it... Because they have no other way to survive..so..its not only from their fault may be it become the side factor why they become prostitude..so..we shouldn't blame on them..

sompit.
hye all..that rite farehah..there a lot of because why they become like that.Some significant differences found between the samples of prostitutes and the samples of normal women were that the prostitute samples, on the whole, learned less about sex from parents and more from personal experiences, as children experienced more sexual advances by elders, were more victimized by incest, generally initiated sexual activity at a younger age, more often had no further relationship with their first coital partner, and experienced a higher incidence of rape. The analysis of these data on early sexual history concentrates on abusive sexual experiences such as incest and rape. to believe that an abusive sexual self-identity relates to the development of an adult female pattern of occupational deviance such as prostitution..

hayati.
for me..wat i say is so simple as u all view about the factor of being prostitution..just to let know that Prostitution has never been without stereotypes and myths. There are many reasons why young girls find themselves exploited by prostitution and pimps. It can be a personal tragedy, drug addiction, or the lure of money, lots of money.
Some people view prostitution as an expression of sexuality, or use it to escape from unhappy and sexless relationships. Society seems to believe men have uncontrollable sexual urges that need to be fulfilled. This myth justifies prostitution. Young prostitutes are thrown into a world of degradation, violence and disease. Many turn to drugs as a way to mask feelings in order to perform the acts demanded. Participation often leaves them physically and mentally damaged.
Another myth is that prostitution may be considered a crime, but there are no victims. Prostitution and pornography allows crimes to be done on men, women and children, by turning abuse into a commercial enterprise. Customers use juveniles for their own sexual gratification, which in actuality, is child sexual abuse. Pimps assault prostitutes by forcing them to engage in sadomasochistic sex scenes, and exploits their demands on t hem as a condition of employment. Most sexual acts happen by the prostitute's compliance rather than consent. Money paid for this abuse, rape and battery does not negate the fact that it was allowed to happen.

THE FACTORS THAT LEAD TO PROSTITUTION...

NESA SELVI G76729

Dear frens,its time for us to look into the factor that lead a person into prostitution......there are no one specific factors that contribute it but many factors lead to it.
• POVERTY- A reason why children are sold into commercial sex but it’s not the only reason. However it does play a significant role. Families are sometimes pushed to desperate lengths when some trigger factors such as death of a breadwinner, natural disaster, displacement, conflicts or sickness adds to the already intolerable burden of poverty. Poverty becomes a determinant factor when it exists alongside ignorance or greed, opportunity or coercion, conflict, loss, consumer pressures, migration and urbanization and discrimination.
• IGNORANCE- Message of education about sexuality is weak or overpowered by much stronger contrary messages from media, traditional practice or societal behavior. The ignorant not only of the health risk but also the severe psychological long term.
• CONSUMER AND PEER PRESSURE- One more factor that push children and young people into prostitution. The media reinforcing consumer pressure on youngsters to earn money to buy the latest gadgets or cloths but also in contributing to competition among young people.(eg: wear/own what their peers do). Can be decisive force in pushing them to earn money whatever the cost.
• TRADITIONAL EXCUSES- Sexual exploitation of children are culturally or historically condoned or even encouraged.(eg: In communities where children are put into sexual servitude to religious or tribal elders in atonement for adult wrongdoings, in payment of debt or traditional or religious duties(eg: In Vietnam, the presence of large number of foreign military personnel in the 1960s and 1970s increased demand for commercial sex services and introduced more liberal attitudes to sex. When the troop went home, the country was left significantly developed commercial sex sector and heightened in the local communities.
• WHEN PROTECTION MECHANISM BREAKDOWN-Victim who are sexually abused by someone in their own family or circle of friends are extremely vulnerable to sexual exploitation outside the family too or later in life. Sometimes, sexual abuse by parents or relatives drives young people out of the family home and onto the streets, where the need to survive makes them vulnerable to pimps, traffickers, drug peddlers and other manipulators.
