Theories About Prostitution - Sociological Perspectives in Sex for Sale

In this lecture we will review Sociological Perspectives in Sex for Sale – A Psychology Course Section in Human Sexuality.

According to functionalist theory, prostitution exists because it serves several important functions for society generally and for certain people in society.

According to conflict theory, prostitution reflects the economic inequality in society. Many poor women feel compelled to become prostitutes because of their lack of money.

According to the feminist version of conflict theory, prostitution results not only from women’s poverty but also from society’s patriarchal culture that still views men as the dominant figure in heterosexual relationships.

Symbolic interactionism moves away from these larger issues to examine the everyday understandings that prostitutes and their customers have about their behavior.

I am open to additional lecture title suggestions… so if you have a topic in mind, send me your request.
