Or less common opinions that you’ve been waiting for a chance to share?

Apologies if this has been asked before; I didn’t see it among recent posts and I like to hear everyone’s hot takes.

    Unpopular? Would that require me to get more downvotes than up?

    Prostitution: legalize it and tax it. Afford them the same benefits as other self employed workers at least. Besides it’s legal to pay for sex as long as you record it (making porn).

    Beastiality: if you harm the animal there are animal welfare laws. If you want to be weird with Flossy the sheep go ahead, just close the barn door so I don’t have to see it.

      In regards to bestiality, I’m okay with it if the human is one receiving. fucking an animal is not okay with me as there is no way for the animal to consent. I read a newspaper article where a guy was caught fucking a mare because she became skittish around the male owner. The horse obviously did not enjoy it.

        Yeah, press X to doubt. That mare may have had many reasons to be skittish around the owner, but having him jam his tooth pick inside likely won’t be it as a veterinarian can put his entire arm in there up to the shoulder.

        I highly doubt the mare even noticed that.

        A chicken, on the other hand, would likely explode, so yeah, fuck right off with that abuse.

        They don’t consent to being killed for food either, but noone seems to care then.

          I mean, when it comes to killing for food we see it as justified due to it being ‘needed’ for our survival, so we consider it a necessary evil.

          I don’t necessarily think having sex with a sheep is amongst any of our survival needs though

      I’ve found it amusing when bestiality laws explicitly exempt artificial insemination and other ‘customary’ animal husbandry practices. It’s completely legal to fondle your livestock when your motive is profit. Do it for love and go to prison, sicko. It’s almost the exact opposite of human-human prostitution laws.
