There are (at least) two competing views on prostitution:
Prostitution as a legitimate and acceptable form of employment,
freely chosen by women and men's use of prostitution as a form of
degrading the women and causing grave psychological damage. In "The
Idea of Prostitution" Sheila Jeffreys explores these sharply
contrasting views. She examines the changing concept of
prostitution from White Slave Traffic of the nineteenth century to
its present status as legal. The book includes discussion of the
varieties of prostitution such as: the experience of male
prostitutes; the uses of women in pornography; and the role of
military brothels compared with slavery and rape in marriage.
Sheila Jeffreys explodes the distinction between "forced" and
"free" prostitution, and documents the expanding international
traffic in women. The author examines the claims of the
prostitutes' rights movement and the sex industry, while supporting
prostituted women. Her argument is threefold: the sex of
prostitution is not just sex; the work of prostitution is not
ordinary work; and prostitution is a 'choice' not for the
prostituted women, but for the men who abuse them.
