Grey Goose got the girl feeling loose... Options

[*I Shot JFK*]

So. At lunch today, a discussion came up. As they tend to.

A girl is going to have a one-night stand, or a fling, or whatever, because she wants to have sex. Protected, both partners are disease free, and both parties are consenting adults. Totaly legit.

Is there a difference between that and said girl, rather than going to a bar/party/whatever to find a guy to hook up with, being paid for sex. Again, assuming that it will be protected, both partners are disease free, and both are consenting adults.

I honestly do not see the difference. In fact, I say, if you're going to have casual sex out of it, why not make some money? One of my friends was offered £50 to sleep with a guy in the not to distant past. She declined, but has since had more sexual experience, and said that frankly, if the opportunity arose again, and she was up for sex, she would accept.

About 2/3 of the people (10ish) were shocked by this, and said that it was horrible, or something along those lines.

Now personally, I say fair enough. She hooks up with guys anyway, so why not make some money out of it to add to the fun?

This really sparked a proper discussion, lasted for the whole lunch hour. Just thought it was odd how opinions altered as soon as money was added into the situation.

Well, as Sammi stated, there's the choice of the matter. Prostitution is seen as wrong because it becomes the prostitute's job, s/he must have sex with anyone who presents the right number. On the other hand, with casual sex, each partner gets to choose who they'd be sleeping with. With casual sex, there's the choice to take the money. If your friend were to take the money, I wouldn't see it strictly and explicitly as prostitution.
