Sex Sells, But Is It Worth the Cost?
SEX SELLS, BUT IS IT WORTH THE COST?
By Jamie Morgan
If sex sells, what’s the price tag? The estimated $3000 spent on pornography every second. Or perhaps for some it’s $200 an hour spent with a prostitute. Or could it be $5,000 for a 15-year-old Indian blushing bride via sex traffic. For others it could be 15 years of marriage traded in for a 15 minute fling. Maybe the stigma of being a baby’s momma or dead-beat dad. But then again the price could be that anxious wait for the results of a mysterious bump. The CDC states the cost this way. The leading cause for death for African American women between the ages of 25-34 is AIDS(1). Cheap sex can carry a high price tag. After a damaged psyche, wounded marriage, abused bodies & a cesspool of shameful secrets, sex starts to become very expensive. All of us could use some debt relief.
