I'm curious. I don't subscribe to your way of thinking, I won't downvote over it as it's your honesty opinion.
Do you think similarly about people using sexuality to further their career efforts? Because that's a pretty vague area. You have models who sell their good looks, you have people furthering their career by seducing their bosses and you have people marrying to increase their position in life.
Could you demarcate where you would draw the line?
I mean, its fine if you dont subscribe to my way of thinking. You wouldnt have the same thinking in a monk or a businessman. Two people cant even agree on what color they want at home sometimes.
I dont think we will agree on this topic. For me, I see a human being as a more spiritual being than you do, with a soul and a purpose. If you subscribe to the typical western idea of humans just being animals, then I totally understand why its fine to behave in any way that benefit you (as long as it doesnt put you in trouble of course).
Well that is a good point, and an important clarification.
I do object a bit about the 'humans being animals'part, that seems to undersell the soulfulness of most animals (but that's a bit off topic).
If a person were entirely filled with enjoyment of sexual acts and in full control over whomever they rendered their professional pleasure to would that scenario be more or less soul destroying than, say, a standard workman grinding a job he doesn't like for things (s)he finds most important, like family?
