We are all Prostitutes…

‘We are all selling our bodies for money’, the wisdom of a Commercial Sex Worker (CSW), quoted by my lecturer in class. Before we reflect, we have to first, come out of our self-righteous cocoons. Another lecturer told us point blank, the reason we are all class pursuing our degrees was because of money. And this seemed to offend some colleagues in class who were on their way to heaven by faith and who subscribed to the idea that money is the root of all evil. Anyway, it is all for the money and if God is gracious to you and gives you a job that you enjoy doing, you get a double portion blessing of job satisfaction and the money.

Now that we are in agreement, it’s all courtesy of the money then the CSW would be right in her observation that we are all selling our bodies for money. In buying and selling there is exchange of goods and services for money. The reason we go to school and continue to further in our studies is so that we can get a good job and get a good salary and if you are investing the money, the money works for you. When we get paid, we are paid because we use our brains to get results. Others use their hands to build things or farm, others use their legs to run and others use their private parts. To make the same money, it all depends on the parts that one is comfortable using.

Once again, why do you wake up early in the morning and go to bed late. You do not even have time for your kids…I cannot hear... please speaker louder…

So I ask, if what you are doing is not selling yourself, why is what you are doing the best and what a prostitute is doing evil. Actually I think what the prostitute is doing is healthier than what you are doing. According to the benefits of sex that are out there in the public domain sex seems to be the best job, for example; the trade of sex involves relaxation; Sex reduces the possibilities of suffering from dermatitis and acne, the sweat produced cleans pores and makes the skin shine, sex allows burning of calories, sex is one of the safest sports, it strengthens all body muscles, sex is the safest tranquilizer in the world, more efficient than valium, sex relieves headaches, each time you make love, it releases the tension in brain veins, sex is a natural antihistaminic and it opens a nasal congestion. And the list goes on…

 Let’s look at what your work is doing to you. You are not getting enough sleep, you probably have bad eating habits because your schedule is so tight you cannot get enough time to have a good meal and maybe when you get time to eat you do not enjoy the meal because you are on the run, you probably do not even get time to visit the gym. So my busy friends, when does your heart get to race or beat fast as recommended by the doctors and when do you get to burn you calories. When do your sweat glands open up? When do you get to strengthen all your bodies’ muscles? I hope you are not on valiums, as you criticize the way other healthy people make their money.
