Stripping, do you think it is immoral? I was watching something recently and there was a scene with strippers, and that question corssed me mind. I'm not exactly sure it is but it isn't? Who knows, so I ask what do you guys think? This isn't meant to relate to any of the other wierd sexual topics posted by that spammer. I'm interested to know your opinnions on this. |
Maz 29.07.2005 01:22 |
First, define immoral, then work backwards. Do you consider hardcore pornography immoral? Soft-core porn? Pin-ups? Sex outside of marriage? Interesting question, though. I think it's connected to how you define something as immoral. |
Victoria 29.07.2005 01:23 |
Is it like saying kinky sex is immoral? Cause sex itself is not immoral, most of the time. It happens, cause we're human. Some people just do it different. I guess it really depends on how you strip. You can do in a beautiful sense, or a dirty one. Course, I doubt saints or 'moral' people would condone stripping. In that view. Yes, it probably is immoral. But who here is a saint? ;) |

Both of you have good points. Really it does depend on ones definition of immoral. Most people seem to right off view it as a bad thing. When really, well some people just live their lives differently than others, and have different view point of what is moral and not. So I guess really it just depends on each individual. Its interesting to see what people think about these sort of things, eveyone looks at it differently. Funny now I remember my friend and planned to move to NY and become strippers because it appeared to pay well. Lets just say that fell through...lol I don't think I could ever do something like that. To be completely honest a part of me would want to and another part of me sees it as being not so good, or immoral if you will. I would be ashamed to tell anyone that. Mainly because when most people today, think stripper..they think whore so to speak. Nothing against people who are in that profession its just the stereotype of this day and age. |

Gecko 29.07.2005 04:17 |
maybe the question should be..whos more immoral, the person who strips as a way of living, or the ones who go and get entertained by these people. i guess if a person resect themselves, and can make a living legally,than let the power be with them. |

I don't know if it's immoral, but I don't like the idea of a person selling his/her body. It shouldn't happen, but it does, because today everything is controlled by money. I don't blame the people who do it, I blame the people who create the opportunities. A poor oprhan 19 years old girl who has to work as a stripper to support herself financially is not to blame. Shows like MTV's "I Bet You Will" are simply disgusting, not because the people participating eat cockroaches, but because before any such act an auction is conducted between college students, to see who will agree to do something for the lowest amount of money. We're talking about a young woman who wore only bikini, spilt paint over her breasts and then used them to create "paintings", which were then sold to the audience. The phrase "How low can you go?" seems mightily appropriate. I've never been to a place which has stripping, I'm only 17. But what I see in the movies or in pictures in the newspapers is a slutty and dirty behaviour. If a woman chooses to strip from her own free will, meaning not because she couldn't get any other job, let it be. But it's the opposite cases which raise the problem of immorality, at least as far as I'm concerned. |
The Mir@cle 29.07.2005 04:49 |
I have to agree with Guy... I don't like the idea of a person selling his/her body either. My friends surprised me with a lap-dance on my last year’s birthday party. Well, we laughed a lot and I'll never forget it. It was a pretty girl and she sat completely naked at my lap... But she couldn't turn me on at all, just because of the thought that she does such low things to raise money. |
Gecko 29.07.2005 04:51 |
guy...your first paragraph was also a good point, i guess its like drugs, if a person is hooked on them, are they really doing anything immoral?? possibly illegal but not really immoral, now the person who sells that person those drugs are doing something immoral, due to the fact that they are preying on the persons weakness and dependency. |
Fenderek 29.07.2005 04:54 |
If someone takes off clothes- someone else pays for it. If someone was to be immoral- that would be the payer... Anyway- don't think it's immoral... If ppl were stripping instead of stealing or killing- the world would be better, don't you think? Kinky sex, sex outside marriage, porn- individual thing. If you can't imagine doing that- great, that's you. But it's not us (me, you) to judge someone because he's living differently... We don't need the "my cock's bigger than yours / my morality's better than yours" bullshit... Someone is a stripper- let her (him) be and it's not you to judge... If someone's really after morality and religion than believes in God who judges... Why are we trying to put ourselfs in his position than? Isn't this one of the sins? |

Stripping, like consuming drugs, doesn't hurt others. Dealing drugs, however, does hurt other people, and stripping club owners shouldn't take adventage of young women who desperately need money and will do anything to get it. That's my point - the people who "run" and motivate this industry are to blame. |

The definition of IMMORALITY has it's extreme sides... From the perverts of NAMBLA who think there's nothing wrong with adults having sex with children, to the ultra conservatives wackos who wish to turn every single TV channel into PAX. |

Guy wrote: Exactly. Stripping, like consuming drugs, doesn't hurt others. Dealing drugs, however, does hurt other people.I'm going to have to disagree with you on this one. Consuming drugs is just about as bad as selling them. By buying drugs not only you're destroying your own body, but you're giving profits to an illegal industry that is only going to become more rich and powerful. I'm Colombian, and every year hundreds (and possibly thousands) of people die there fighting the war against drug cartels. It's a war that has no end as long as there a bunch of fuckin' idiots willing to buy drugs. I'm all in favor of giving drug consumers as many years in jail as the average drug dealer. |

I don't think stripping, nudity or pornography of any kind is immoral. I realise there is a difference between stripping and nudity but it is all part of life, as is porn (for those who want it). |

The fact that made me thought more about it was that he didn't strip at all when they went to the nude resort. He said he will do it after one of his roomies did it, and it was true. He did it just after Trishelle did it. So after all, someone pointed as an "immoral" was behaving "normally" like the othersYeah, I ended up watcing the Surreal Life and at first I had no idea that he was a porn star at all. It was not like he acted different or anything, he did not brag or talk about it much unless it was brought up. So that also could bring up the point of how you handle yourself. I guess what it really comes down to is what you think and how you feel about yourself. If someone thinks that it is alright to strip then, to each his own I guess. That does not make it right or wrong. And it does not make people right or wrong to go and watch. I like oranges, there will always be someone who hates oranges. As there will be people who think it is okay to strip and there are people that won't. Personally I have never really thought about it that much to have an opinnion on stripping. Just because it is legal doesn't mean its a good or a bad thing. Really as I said, I feel that it depends on your personal opinnion. To each his own. |

I am a firm believer in judge not, lest ye be judged. If someone considers it to be a legitimate enjoyable profession, it's not my place to tell h(im)er that (s)he's wrong - I don't want to be a pompous soapbox preacher, and (s)he is not hurting anyone. And for the record, I don't see anything particularly wrong with stripping, prostitution, starring in adult films, or fluffing (if you don't know what that is, look it up, because I don't really want to explain it) - they're jobs, and many people consider them to be good, lucrative ones. It's not something I personally would do, but I would not personally go into accounting either. |
