Fact #3

A Moral Argument for Prostitution

Death of a Virgin

In the Fall of 2001, 15 year-old “Jack” was dying of cancer and had a last wish. It was not to meet an oafish sport star or to go to a lame theme park. Jack wanted to have sex. In a poignant situation that occurs regularly in the Western world where minors are not officially sexual and sex cannot involve money a pubescent boy was going to die a virgin. Luckily for Jack he confided his wish to one gutsy person – a nurse, definitely not his religious parents.

Jack had sex with a prostitute. Having sex with a minor for money, this prostitute would be a heinous criminal in America and under Megan’s Law could be subject to life-long tracking. Was Jack psychologically or physically scarred? It will never be known because he died a month later – “very, very happy.”
