When “Hot or Not” Meets Prostitution

prostituteunp0512_468×312.jpgGood news, everyone! Now you can rank prostitutes online! (Editor’s Note: YES! It is all I ever wanted!)

At The Erotic View, men can chat about hoohas for pay, and the adorably nicknamed “Net Walkers” (get it? Like night walkers? GET IT??) can make those very same hoohas known.

In other words, this is basically a review system for prostitutes. Men rank women on many aspects of their appearance and services. They can also chat on message boards, detailing how good the prostitute was and what she will and won’t do. To access many of these message boards (supposedly not for the faint of heart), you have to become a VIP, which seems to involve writing a certain number of reviews. Think of these prolific men as film critics…except instead of film, they’re reviewing sex-for-hire. And lady parts.

But don’t think it’s all about the men. Sex workers can also advertise on this site. This way, the men who love prostitutes enough to actually review them on a website can find even more prostitutes to hire and review.

It’s win-win!

Well, kind of. Apparently, prostitutes are benefiting from this service, and I guess the men who use it are happy. But isn’t prostitution, I don’t know, generally illegal? And isn’t it a little degrading to women to be advertised like a beanie baby on an e-Bay auction?

I actually went to the site to see what it’s like. It’s surprisingly non-graphic. There are no nakey pics or anything like that.

What it is, is a prolongued grading system. Apparently, “Susan/Soccer Mom” has boobs that are “super nice,” at least according to one reviewer (of many).

Classy, friends. Is this the future?

There have always been prostitutes and I’d wager there always will be. However, with all the violence against prostitutes (did you know they are quite often the target of serial killers and the like? Well, they are.), you’d think they’d want to move away from the woman-as-objects thing. And, yes, I know, they sell their bodies. But they are still women, and, more importantly, they are still people.

Is this completely degrading or is it just me?

    I don’t condone prostitution, but maybe it’d be safer if it weren’t illegal.
