How is it that a man is fine with his wife being a sex worker?
A few days ago I read with disgust as a woman tells her story of how she has a regular day job and by night she works as a sex worker to support her husband and kids as well as her aging parents. And she’s been doing this for 3 years and hopes to do so for another few more years to save up enough money from her earnings as a prostitute.
Whilst she feels nothing wrong with being a sex worker who earns at most RM80 per customer, I do wonder why her husband is totally fine with this! Is he a pimp and therefore pimping his wife as a prostitute? Does he not care about the welfare of his wife, having to sleep with all kinds of men, whom she revealed to be from the age of 17 to 80 years?
If he does not care much about her as his wife, maybe he should think about her as a mother to his kids. You do not simply let the mother of your kids get involved in such work! How will he kids feel knowing that their mother sells her body to support the family and the father does not stop her?
The man of the house could easily pick up another job if he’s not already earning enough to support the family. I don’t think agreeing to the wife being a prostitute is a responsible thing to do.

There are a certain type of men who have no principles,morality or ethics. It does not matter what their women do as long as they can bring in lots of dough and they don’t have to work their butt out to support the family.I am afraid there exist such kind of “soft” men in our society.
Sometimes,there is no choice as these people lack the qualifications or skills to earn enough to lead a comfortable and decent life.

Um, it may seem like rebel-rousing to say so, but I think, as I always do, that what a woman chooses to do is her choice. A man may have influence, but the days of women submitting to men just because they are men are OVER.
That said, in this case, I don’t know enough about the circumstances to comment on the nobility of the man (or woman) involved. If he’s MAKING her do sex work, that ain’t cool. If she freely chooses it, so be it. Lots of people do jobs I wouldn’t do, but I don’t go around criticizing them for it (unless they put a parking ticket on MY car!).

He’s living off the wages of prostitution, so you bet he’s a pimp. That’s the definition of one. Maybe somewhere out there there’s a woman who just decides on her own that prostitution is a good way to make a living, but I’ve worked at a nonprofit that serves prostituted women, and out of our thousands of clients, we’ve never had one who began prostituting as a simple economic choice. They all come from backgrounds of severe abuse and are entangled in exploiting relationships. Read vickiesprostitutionblog.blogspot.com if you’d like to know more about such women.

I agree with Dave Brown of Miuzu if she freely chooses it, so be it.
