10. Most men do not buy sex to get hugs.

I find the constant assertion that because a very small minority of sex buyers do - and therfore it justifies calling prostitution a 'need' - incredibly offensive. Thousands and thousands of women and children who are trafficked every year, to be used by a dozen or thirty men per day - and not for hugs - deserve far more consideration than those very few men, however sad their stories.

In discussions about industries which treat human beings as consumable goods, in which large groups of people are determined to drown our any voices that try to advocate for the many oppressed people, in favor of a tiny, privileged minority, I am less inclined to be sidetracked by such issues.

I do agree with you, but it's a different issue.
