I am referring to last Wednesday?s article by Pauline Etienne ?Stop making fantasies a taboo?. There is indeed nothing morally wrong to watch some women dance naked on a stage against payment. Except that it is an insult to human dignity as it suggests money can allow access to a persons? most intimate spheres and it encourages exploitation of these ladies because they are surely not getting their right share from what spectators are paying.

Legalising activities like prostitution and striptease clubs may be desirable but the modus operandi of same with strict legal framework must be sought beforehand. For instance: defining the sites where these activities are to be carried out; ensuring that minors are not allowed there; ensuring that operators settle for the required taxes; ensuring parallel activities are not carried out outside these areas; make it a must that people working in these sectors undergo regular compulsory medical test.

We do not want our island to get the reputation of other sex paradises. Therefore liberalisation of sexually-related activities on grounds that they will persist in any case must be worked upon in a very serious way.

Just imagine the immoral and chaotic situation we might face, should legalisation of sexually-related activities not be seriously harnessed before implementation or even consideration! Meanwhile is it not preferable to play a hypocritical game while fighting criminals who enrich themselves upon human dignity?
