prostitution in different approaches

my view towards prostitution is not judgmental therefore readers might take my thoughts critically. Like many social scientists, i don’t find ingenious to make fix boundaries of rights and wrongs in culture.

With respect to post modern approach, i believe that prostitution is not a wrong profession in society especially for those who want to pursue with their own wish.
Since it’s a fact that all human beings have sexual desires and many of them are not able to control or fulfil it via proper channels therefore, from social point of view and excluding religions, our view is:

First such desires should be controlled because according to Malthusian over population will further lead to other social problems. Even if sexual desires aren’t controlled, such people should visit to prostitutes who are willing to give sexual pleasures rather raping innocent women who feel pride in covering and hiding their bodies. Men who are not ready to control their sexual desires should contact prostitutes so that the modesty and pious ness of the innocent females is saved.

Agreeing with the post modern and descriptive approach, there are no rights and wrongs in the society because causes and effects of behaviors can not be known if all the culture would be studied in the same way especially the culture of prostitution. More over, seeing this with functionalist approach:

‘Prostitution satisfies needs of patrons that may not be readily met through more socially acceptable form such as marriage or courtship. The ‘buyer’ receives sex without any responsibly for procreation or sentimental attachment at the same time the seller makes a living through this exchange. ‘

To conclude, prostitution does perform certain functions that society needs.
