[QUOTE="Aurondarklord, post: 6056249, member: 6667464"] Note the language used in describing the prostitution they're talking about, terms like "exploitative or coercive relationships", "without the power to enter freely and willingly", this is the context that describes their mention of prostitution on that list of evil sexual behaviors, it is evil IN THAT CONTEXT, for the reasons they listed, much as the book of exalted deeds explains why poison is against the paladin's code, and then explains the exceptions and offers ravages as an alternative. It's not going to go into that kind of detail on prostitution because it's the book of exalted deeds, not the book of erotic fantasy, but similarly, it can be logically inferred that if you strip away the evil context, by presenting an example of prostitution that is not exploitative or coercive, being entered into by willing participants (which you can do in a fantasy setting, and which represents the example Cedric was involved in), then the prohibition would no longer apply, elsewise why give context explaining why it's wrong, if it's wrong as an absolute irrespective of context?
