Letters to the Editor

This letter is associated with the following article:
What accounts for the intense moral outrage from all corners over this private, consensual act between adults?
  • Regardless of what one thinks of prostitution

    I have always found it very curious that one of the following, but not the other, is illegal:

    (a) Two people have sex, one of them gets paid for it;

    (b) Two (or more) people have sex, all of them get paid for it, and it is videotaped and sold to third parties as a commodity.

    I have yet to hear a convincing argument why this difference makes any actual sense.
