    I have known plenty of both, and neither of those two things made me think any less of them.

    Drug addiction is worst, since the mind is involved. Prostitution is only for the body, and the Mind is free. Most prostitutes learn this art of not involving their mind & heart, in business, hence more trustworthy.

    I think you're right about learning detachment. Some people would see that as irresponsibility though.

    Yup. Prostitutes just get damned due to bible's depiction of them, but in real life, they are real soul healers who nurse their client, and take their wrath in some cases. Really a hard trait to develop the detachment. Kudos to them. I do pity females, since they don't have access as easy as males.

    Damaging to reputation, probably prostitution. Damaging to my trust, probably drug addition. Prostitutes generally start off as persons who are taken advantage of or even forced into the situation. Many of them do it because they HAVE TO, not because they choose to. On the other hand, and there ARE exceptions to what I'm about to say, drug addicts essentially CHOOSE what they are doing. Many of them wind up getting to the point where they cant stop because they've gone too far, but most get there because of choices they made at the beginning. I don't hold either against the person, because I know that one minor change in circumstances or wrong choice by me could put me in the same position. But to be honest I'd be able to trust a prostitute more than a drug addict.

    I think American society claims to be more open and informed about sex, but privately we still hold pretty traditional views.

    Drug addictions (to alcohol or to meds) while is a more of a physical condition, will have more of an effect on one's mind and personality. It's tends to change a person physically.

    My initial ,quick response is that drug addiction is more damaging. I associate drug addiction with that downward uncontrollable spiral people can get into. I know, not always the case. But, I am referring to reputation. I would trust a prostitute to hold my wallet and phone, as I jumped in a river to save a drowning kitten, long before handing my valuables to a drug addict.

    It honestly depends on the person.

    My best friend is trying to recover from a 10-year heroin addiction in a psych hospital.
    I am online-acquainted with a very kind, if damaged young lady who still sells herself, often to physically disabled men, sort of a "compassionate callgirl" sort of thing.

    I only judge people on whether they are a threat to me or not.
    What they do to themselves mainly causes me to feel compassionate.
    I don't understand this "reputation" nonsense anyway. I think it's a crock.

    Having known people involved in both over the years, I'd say prostitution's more damaging to one's reputation, hardcore drug addiction to one's character.

    Interesting. And you may be right. I think character is usually more your private sense of self, but reputation is the public view.

    the two are generally not exclusive to one another among the female study group so it is a double whammy fortunately we as a society are forgiving and always root for the underdog in any fight so as long as we treat addictions as an illness for the most part. not much blame attaches

    Drug addiction, I think. It indicates lacking self-control, which is viewed as an inherent character flaw. Whereas someone could go into prostitution because they simply couldn't make ends meet at the time, you know?
