Why do people go into prostitution?

[tarball]

Because people lack faith in God, they are afraid of poverty and they simply don't believe that God is the only one who'd provide for them, therefore they would go into prostitution. just a bunch of lost sheeps if you ask me.

I have a lack of faith in god, so should I be a prostitute?

If you go to countries such as Thailand and Cambodia, you can find that most of the prostitutes are religious Buddhists. So lack of faith is not the reason for prostitution. And one of the emerging hubs for sex tourism in Asia is the Philippines, which happens to be a deeply religious Catholic country.

I think people enter prostitution for two main reasons.
The first reason being to combat poverty, fend for themselves and be financially independent. Secondly, to gain pleasure or to satisfy their sexual desires. But other reasons would include influence from friends and trying to get back at people for wrongs done to them

[godable]

There is no justifiable reason for prostitution. However, some see poverty and hardship as a major reason for prostitution, but this is a fallacy, because I've seen manifold poor persons who have nothing and still do not prostitute. Additionally, a lot of people venture into prostitution due to envy and jealousy. They are always unhappy with themselves thinking they are not as successful as others and wishing to be like others which may result to venturing into the unknown and going extra mile by doing anything within their means to be like others.

I so glad there are people who don't just look at situations for their apparent situation and make simplistic conclusions. To actually do justice to a situation or issue it is imperative to digest all possible causes and angles to it.
The situation of Prostitution for one is one that need not be limited to only as cause of poverty but exploring other possible causes which could stem from various factors aside poverty.They could include: Nymphomania,proving a point,satisfaction of unfulfilled love from family or lover,affection,peer pressures among others

various problems can plunge a person into a prostitute, among all it is social status, poverty and broken home, also the problem of juvenile delinquency and lifestyle, and the necessities of life, the compulsion is done because there is no other job that can accept it, the tendency to obtain quick funds without having to work hard is also the reason why people enter the world of prostitution

It still boils down to economics. If you have no education, no skills and no money, it's one of the easier ways to start earning. If you're a gal you can even just fake your orgasm and your customer would know no better.

Though it's not always about being totally destitute. I remember reading a book were they interviewed a woman who was taking her master's I believe. Working as an escort meant she can earn money for far less the time her colleagues need to work regular jobs, meaning more time left for her studies and other project. She could have gotten her degree flipping burgers but she figured out that her time was more valuable.

Having masters degree wont do much for her in hell. what people don't understand is that whatever they have in this world will be gone soon, so what good could come out from a few years living by prostitution? they only ruin their own lives by doing this.

Haven't it occurred to you that she probably don't believe in any of that? As long as she use protection so as to not spread disease around, fine. It's her call, she can do whatever she wants with her life but she'll have to deal with any consequences.

By that same logic, all her customers are going to hell too, even if they've only hooked up with a prostitute once in their lives.

Because people lack faith in God, they are afraid of poverty and they simply don't believe that God is the only one who'd provide for them, therefore they would go into prostitution. just a bunch of lost sheeps if you ask me.

Prayers can't soothe a grumbling stomach. Can't say about those first two countries but it's definitely illegal in PH but people do it anyway to support their family. There was a push here to decriminalize it to an extent though. Many human traffickers threaten their captives that they'd go to jail for prostitution should they escape and notify the authorities.

I think most of the people in prostitution are there because of poverty or they do not have much option left. Many girls are actually forced into it and some maybe choose to be in it. Like some opened their own prostitution business because they believe it is one of the most earning business. I mostly think if everyone is well educated then it will help people to avoid such poor decisions like prostitution or other harmful stuffs. I never saw an educated  girl to face this much problems that she gets into prostitution.

[yuownkill05]

Because of the inequality, discrimination and poor governance of a country. This is not only for a women. As we observed men is also force to do prostitution.  Many of them wants to find a new line of job but there's no opportunity. I also believe that they' re doing it because they can earn easy money but not knowing compromising their health and future.

Prostitution is one the oldest trade on earth. Prostitution is a social problem.it can be termed as normal -abnormality. But the positive effect of prostitution in the society cannot be equated with the negative effects. Take for instance,  the existence of prostitutes in the society have helped to reduce the issue of rape to an extent. And prostitution is not likened to women alone. Men also indulge in prostitution. Because the giver and the receiver is one and same.

I'm going to put all the marbles on heroin addiction. It's a very expensive and insidious drug and in order to maintain a habit that costs $30-$400 a day depending upon demo-graph, there are very few options that produce consistent income to maintain housing and habit. 

[vrap.pm]

Unemployment, lack of studies/opportunities, misplaced families, love for easy money...
But i think that are a lot of reasons to go into prostitution, and seldom is a first option of life...

By the way no one has female or male prostitues in the family?

There are a lot os prostitutes in the world, but i never met no one with a prostitute in the family.... why?

[boyptc]

Rejection + poverty = prostitution? that makes sense. There are people who are not that poor and is able in life which are also involve on this human trafficking. They are never taught by their parents that this ain't bad.
Having peers too that are on this thing are giving influence even to the people that are loved.

[cappy176]

Oh there can be a lot of reasons and many variables but from my experience (a friend of mine was one for a while) it seemed like it was a way for easy money attention and power. He is a gay male and I think he liked the fact that people would actually spend money to have sex with him it boosted his confidence in himself. I think the root of it was sadness and depression he was not happy with himself and his life so he turned to prostitution to find "something" he ended up finding nothing (at least from my perspective).

I think it is not a very good thing to do for yourself some people justify it but there are some things in this world that should just not be traded in an exchange and sex being one of them. Hek some people get married for an exchange and they are in a sense prostituting themselves some women marry men they aren't attracted to because they have a lot of money or they have status or some other reason that will make their life better that is really no different than prostitution in my eyes. Don't fall for that trap you should only have sex with someone if you want that person not if you want something they have like a house or money etc. etc.

among married, unmarried and adult persons this tendency to go into prostitution are observed for various inner social problems. the married go into prostitution for not remaining love and respect each other.dissatisfied husband go into prostitution for his sexual demand. as a consequence the pristine grow child that become burden of societies. the unmarried for physical and sensual sentiment go into prostitution. this tendency is observed mostly in the unmarried person. many married persons being frustrated is compelled in such heinous and hellish sin.

[robertomk999]

My ex classmate went into prostitution just because she loves sex. She were fucked by all the school and she didn't complex so I wasn't really surprised when I found out about her job. Moreover she is well off and has good family 

[muhammedayo1]

No amount of problems we may highlight that will make prostitution to be valid.
In otherwords , people should seek other means to feel among and be loved other than this act.

[rat03gopoh]

Another reason may be because of a lavish lifestyle desire if most of the perpetrators are young people.

Because people lack faith in God, they are afraid of poverty and they simply don't believe that God is the only one who'd provide for them, therefore they would go into prostitution. just a bunch of lost sheeps if you ask me.

OMG I lack faith in God TOTALLY and I still did not end up prostituting myself, what's wrong with me?

[xeno94]

on my own opinion, i would say the three main causes that can lead to one going into prostitution are:
1st, poverty, when there is no other form or manner at which one can be able to fend for the family.
2nd, rejection, when you never get to feel loved and cared for even by those closest to you.
3rd, forceful taking away of a woman's virginity, loosing virginity to rape can cause emotional trauma which could lead to one going into prostitution.
