Explore "The Causes of Prostitution" by James Peter Warbasse on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
The wonder is that there is not a greater degree of public / appreciation of the prostitute-making conditions / which society harbors because it foolishly / thinks that it profits by them.
A prostitute is a woman who offers her body for hire to men for their sexual pleasure. Sexual promiscuity on the part of women, not practised for money, does not constitute prostitution. Nor does the mere granting of sexual privileges for money constitute prostitution; if it did, women who marry for money would fall within this class. Prostitution means promiscuity for hire.
