In many periods of History there was perhaps an exaggeration of prostitutes' moral deprecation. Or some deficiency of classification concerning the women and men who prostituted themselves sexually.
 
Sexual activity is normal among individuals of the same species and different sex. It enables the perpetuation of that species, with physical pleasure during sexual intercourse and its preliminaries.
It's not wise to consider that activity as sinful. But it's also an exaggeration to present it as the centre of interest in any species.
 
On the human level, there are different sexual behaviours according to the people's culture and the spiritual level of the individual. One admits that the more spiritual a man is, the more easily he will control his sexual passions. Control here doesn't have a castrating meaning, it means to orient his activity rationally.
 
Social organization is done in such a way that educators in general, specially parents, assume more and more responsibility in the sexual area, conscious that they should not forget, avoid and be ashamed or shy to orient their children about this. The teaching syllabuses are starting to make a constructive approach to themes about sex. Some media are now dismystifying situations and clarifying their audience constructively. The appearance of illnesses that can be sexually transmitted, namely AIDS, constitutes a natural brake to deviating behaviours.
 
We seem to be able to see sexual activity, more and more, as a complement of a friendly relationship between a man and a woman. Therefore, it is natural to put the psychological relationship in a primary position, as well as the communion of ideas, the definition of common aims, and mutual support throughout the physical lifetime.
 
In this way, a normal man will be considered, more and more, the one who has sexual relations with just one partner, naturally from a different sex. Sexual activity, with several partners or as an individual (i.e. masturbation) will be looked down on and will be avoided.
 
Some rare beings are so strongly focused on the spiritual life that they seem to have no sexual needs. But, because those cases are so rare, probably the chastity vows in some religious organizations have a tendency to be eliminated, and instead a healthy sexual intimacy with only one partner, preferably throughout the whole earthly life, is encouraged.
 
Those who deviate from this kind of behaviour could be considered abnormal or prostitutes. Not only those who sell sex, but all who enter the business with money or with some other type of material interest. The one who buys sex will be considered even more of a prostitute than the one who takes advantage of economic, social, psychological or other kind of weakness.
 
However, with the increasing number of normal people, there will be a tendency to create organizations to support weak or perverted people, in order to enlighten them and awake their capacity for self-fulfilment, self-improvement and their effective social reinstatement.
