That’s my biggest challenge.” — Sunitha Krishnan

Prostitution Slogans & Quotes | International Whore’s Day | International Sex Worker’s Day

Poverty is the mother of prostitution
Real men don’t buy girls
Prostitution is sold and brought rape
I am not for sale
My body, my choice
I am a human being, not a commodity
Girls need protection,
don’t drag them into prostitution
Girls are gold, not to be sold
Don’t fall into the death trap
Change your attitude, towards a prostitute
Prostitutes: Treat them well, they are already living in the hell
Sex work is work
Let’s fight, for the sex worker’s right
Even Sex Workers are human
Sex workers want rights, not your opinions
Paid sex never satisfies the soul
Legalize prostitution, or find a better solution
Drop the prosecution, legalize prostitution
Prostitution, is ruining the generation
Stop human trafficking, to stop forced prostitution
Don’t neglect, give attention;
stop Human Trafficking & Prostitution
Don’t be cruel and cold,
women should not be sold

Popular Quotes on Prostitution

“Poverty, the mother of manhood. Also, the mother of prostitution.” — Lucan
“The profession of a prostitute is the only career in which the maximum income is paid to the newest apprentice.” — William Booth
“A call girl is simply someone who hates poverty more than she hates sin.” — Sydney Biddle Barrows

“Las Vegas does have its fair share of males in the business. But the male sex trade is often more underground. There are escort services that specify in gay prostitution, although it may not be advertised for the public, but if you are a male calling for a male, or female calling for a female, you will get what you ask for as long as the money is right.” — Annie Lobert

…

“Prostitution thrives in the United States. We focus in this country on punishing the girls. For every brothel owner or pimp or male customer, there are 50 girls who are arrested for being prostitutes. Other countries have tried the other way around, and it works beautifully…they bring the charges against the brothel owners and the pimps and the male customers, and they do not prosecute the girls, who quite often are brought into that trade involuntarily. It works quite well, by the way.” — Jimmy Carter
“A male has the right to wander about as he pleases. He has the right to marry any number of girls. This practice has led to prostitution.” — Periyar E. V. Ramasamy
“If love means sex, then why the prostitutes are not loved by all?” — Meenal Singh

Anti Prostitution Quotes

“We say that slavery has vanished from European civilization, but this is not true. Slavery still exists, but now it applies only to women and its name is prostitution.” — Victor Hugo
“The worst part about prostitution is that you’re obliged not to sell sex only, but your humanity. That’s the worst part of it: that what you’re selling is your human dignity. Not really so much in bed, but in accepting the agreement – in becoming a bought person.” — Kate Millett
“I had never been with a woman for longer than a night, and they had always been whores. And while throughout each of these speedy encounters I tried to maintain a friendliness with the women, I knew in my heart it was false, and afterward always felt remote and caved in. I had in the last year or so given up whores entirely, thinking it best to go without rather than pantomime human closeness.” — Patrick deWitt
“The one thing prostitution is not is a ‘victimless crime.’ It attracts a wide species of preying criminals and generates a long line of victims, beginning with the most obvious and least understood – the prostitute herself.” — Gail Sheehy
“The problem with prostitution in my experience is that it’s often unsatisfying.” — Eric Drooker

Popular Quotes on Legalizing the Prostitution

“Why is it immoral to be paid for an act that is perfectly legal if done for free?” — Gloria Allred
“Don’t you think it would be better to legalize victimless crimes like drugs & prostitution & divert the resources to more important things like the rapes & assaults & things like that?” — Larry King
“I don’t understand why prostitution is illegal, Selling is legal, f***ing is legal. So why isn’t it legal to sell f***ing? Why should it be illegal to sell something that’s legal to give away?” — George Carlin
“Where do people get off telling people what to do? It’s their bodies. If you legalized sex work and legally protected the sex workers, you wouldn’t see anything like human trafficking. All of that would be obliterated.” — Margaret Cho
“Prostitutes have feelings; they are very human. They hurt, bleed cry and laugh just like you and me. To the people that want to legalize prostitution: Let me ask you a question. If you want to legalize it, would you now let your daughter/niece/grand daughter/sister do this? Why not sign them up for what you want legalized? And if not, WHY not? Does it make them too human for you now?” — Annie Lobert
“Prostitution means sexual intercourse between a man and a woman aimed at satisfying the man’s sexual and the woman’s economic needs. It is obvious that sexual needs, even in a male dominated system, are not as urgent and important as economic needs which, if not satisfied, lead to disease and death. Yet society considers the woman’s economic need as less vital than the man’s sexual one.” — Nawal El Saadawi

…

“Prostitution is really the only crime in the penal law where two people are doing a thing mutually agreed upon and yet only one, the female partner, is subject to arrest.” — Kate Millett
“Making prostitution legalized gives our society a message that sex is not sacred/private between two adults – that sex can be bought and sold just like any object. But prostitutes are people, not objects to be consumed, used and discarded like trash when they are no longer doing what each client/trafficker wants.” — Annie Lobert
“When prostitution is a crime, the message conveyed is that women who are sexual are “bad,” and therefore legitimate victims of sexual assault. Sex becomes a weapon to be used by men.” — Margo St. James
“Prostitution is criminal, and bad things happen because it’s run illegally by dirt-bags who are criminals. If it’s legal, then the girls could have health checks, unions, benefits, anything any other worker gets, and it would be far better.” — Jesse Ventura
“Prostitution will always exist in every society, so I believe in a fair trade. Open the doors for women to earn their money without having pimps. The worst thing is to criminalize it, because then you open the doors for pimps, criminals, and trading.” — Michael Glawogger
“society has no qualms about a masseuse who is paid for touching people, or about laborers, or professional athletes or dancers, all of whom make a living with their bodies. Why should we make an exception for sex?” — Sydney Biddle Barrows
“Why do prostitutes alone face the criticism and not the people who feast on them? Is it because they are poor and helpless?” — Unknown

Shocking Quotes on Marriage and Prostitution

“Oh, I don’t plan on getting married. It’s a legalized form of prostitution.” — Candace Bushnell
“Many a marriage hardly differs from prostitution, except being harder to escape from.” — Bertrand Russell
“What is the difference between a prostitute and a wife? One is a temporary arrangement; the other is a little more permanent. Marriage is a permanent kind of prostitution; deep down, it is not different. Hence marriage and prostitution have both existed together.” — Rajneesh

…

“Monogamy and prostitution go together.” — Kate Millett
“If you go into it, it is marriage that has created prostitution. And prostitution will never disappear from the world unless marriage disappears; it is the shadow of marriage. In fact, prostitutes have been saving marriage. It is a safety measure, so the man can go once in a while, just for a change, to any other woman, a prostitute, and save his marriage and its permanency.” — Rajneesh
“As I see it, out of a hundred marriages ninety-nine marriages are just licensed prostitution. They are not marriages. A marriage is only a real marriage when it grows out of love. Legal, illegal, does not matter. The real thing that matters is love.” — Rajneesh
“Marriage is very secure. It is safe. There is no growth in it. One is simply stuck. Marriage is a sexual arrangement; intimacy is a search for love. Marriage is a sort of prostitution, a permanent sort. One has got married to a woman or to a man – it is a permanent prostitution. The arrangement is economical, not psychological, not of the heart.” — Rajneesh
“People are led to reason thus: a woman who is a wife is one who has made a permanent sex bargain for her maintenance; the woman who is not married must therefore make a temporary bargain of the same kind.” — Christabel Pankhurst
“Out of the frying pan into the fire! What is marriage but prostitution to one man instead of many? No different!” — Angela Carter
