[QUOTE="Pagan priest, post: 3767122, member: 7650"] Wait, is there consent given, or not. While I can agree that coersion into prostitution is certainly a possibility, I feel that in a realm of magic, it is much less likely to occur. With plenty of clerics and paladins sticking their noses into every pimp's business, any person not there willingly would get rescued in short order. Of course, in a predominately evil society, the issue of coersion would be irrelavant to those with any sort of power within said society. If a person is consenting, [I]freely[/I] consenting, then why would prostitution be a moral problem? Or rather, why would it be any [I]more[/I] of a moral problem than any other form of sex outside wedlock? In general, I see wedlock and fidelity in general as issues of law/chaos rather than good/evil. Chastity until marriage is again more of a L/C issue. Coersion, duress or outright force, are issues of good/evil. Once you start by looking at sexual matters in this manner, the rest falls neatly into place, and you don't have to sit and think out every little variation on human (or humanoid) behavior. Wild orgies? Chaotic. Sado-masochism? [B]IF[/B] fully consensual ([I]informed [/I] consent) then I would consider it morally neutral. Polygamy? Ethically neutral. Married and cheating? Chaotic. For this, I would consider something to be cheating if any erson involved does not know and consent tot he activities of another, so a man with two wives who also sees a mistress is cheating. Of course, if a man with a wife who says "I'm sick tonight, why don't you go get a prostitute?" is NOT cheating, under this framework. [/QUOTE]
