 %PROSTITUTE DISHONESTY SALE INTEGRITY RELATION FIX 910509

     In  prostitutions  of all forms,  dishonesty  is  for
sale.    Prostitutions   are  relationships   which   lack
integrity.     In  prostitutions  people related  to  each
other   in  dishonest ways,    seeking fixes for what they
perceive  to   be   wrong  with them,   lacking  in  them,
imperfect in them, etc.

     Prostitutional   relationships   may   be    mutually
agreeable   and   still  lack  integrity,    honesty   and
significant  meaning.   In  prostitutional   relationships
the   participants   seek meaning which  cannot  be  found
through dishonesty;  not even through  mutual   dishonesty
in  collusive  games  of  mutual self   deception    which
are  communally  respected   and supported.

     So  long   as   prostitutional   relationships   have
dishonesty  as  a  central aspect  of  the  relationships,
making them respectable will not make them be integrative;
for no form of dishonesty can be integrative.   Making the
sale  of dishonesty respectable does not make the sale  of
dishonesty integrative.

     Not   all   forms  of  prostitution  are  sexual   in
character.  There are political,   business,  educational,
professional,   scientific,    technocratic and  religious
prostitutions;    to  suggest   only a few  common  forms.
Often  prostitutions  do  entail   sexuality,      because
sexuality is so pervasive  in human relationships.    Yet,
sexuality  is not the essence of prostitution;     and  to
regard  sexuality as the essence  of prostitution  is   to
generate   confusion  as  to  what   it   is  that   makes
prostitution  disintegrative.     Dishonesty  is more  the
essence  of  what makes prostitution  disintegrative  than
sexuality is. It is dishonest to pretend otherwise.

     Attempts to  control  prostitution may  be  addictive
attempts to control sexuality,  especially if sexuality is
perceived  to  be the essence of what  makes  prostitution
disintegrative.    Each  attempt to  control  prostitution
needs  to be examined to honestly see what the motives  of
the  initiators  of the attempt to control are.   Are  the
initiators honest about themselves?   Are there signs that
they are sexually healthy/unhealthy?   Do they demonstrate
a  sensitivity  to  the difference  between  what  can  be
controlled,   and  what cannot be controlled?    Are  they
taking care  of themselves well enough and honestly enough
to   be able to offer assistance to others who really  and
honestly  need  and  are seeking help in  taking  care  of
themselves?
