Hi bros,
I've already came accross someone asking this question on one forum and the answer was quite a consensus. I'm not telling you what was the answer, I's rather know your take on this question. ...
i am a little bit confused by what you are actually trying to get at with this question, but from what i can make out of it, i will try to give a bit of input.
could you offer a regular civilian money in exchange for sex? yes of course. you can offer whatever you like for whatever you want in return till the cows come home, but whether she will accept or be offended is another story which cannot be easily answered here as every case will be different. at best she will agree, at worst you will probably get slapped. its also a very hard judgement call to discern whether a total stranger is cash-needy just by their occupation or general attire.
having said that, if your question delves more deeply into the territory of morality, then everyone's take will also vary. if you already know this person and are aware that she is cash-needy and are looking to take advantage of the situation in order to get something out of it, then you are, simply stated, looking to exploit her for your own benefits. now, is exploitation a moral gesture? well, again its a difficult one to answer. majority of the fellows on this board will look at it as being ok, since mongering is by definition a kind of exploitation. on the strictest level, one could argue that it is fair, since we pay money in exchange for a service, even though it is sexual. however, that does not eliminate the fact that sex for money is a kind of exploitation.
to answer your question more directly, for me it would be a big no to a regular civilian, for the reasons stated above. i have been culprit to mongering thus have partaken in this kind of exploitation myself, dont get me wrong. but it has always been in the territory where both parties understand the engagement. to bring this into the civilian world, whether knowing the person or not, is a whole other story. at least in my mind, to discern that another person is in need of money and then asking them to perform acts which they under normal circumstances would not perform, is defined as taking advantage of the situation and ultimately exploitation...to me which is a no no.
so long winded answer, everyone's morality is at different places and you will only get varied answers to this open-ended question.
