'Soho Sex King: The story of Paul Raymond' a documentary on Channel 4.
I found this documentary quite informative, with reference to the lecture last week (week 3: Prostitution).
It discusses Paul Raymond and how he started his empire for sex shows in Soho, London in the early 1970's. He created an environment which was male dominated, a wine bar atmosphere with a nude show which ran three times a day, seven days a week. He insists that he was providing a service for an unspoken appetite for sex. He later began producing magazines showing naked women, but throughout his career he was adamant that it was not pornography or prostitution...Many disagree.
With this documentary in mind, is prostitution wrong when clearly some verbal contract has been made between two people. It is a service afteral. Or as we have suggested in the lecture on smoking, is it the rite of the individual to make the choice, it is their body! I think as long as they are not harming anyone else, let them get on with it!
