Ethical Slut
I can sell my body
and still be a saint.
Men can tie me up
Hell, women can too,
but they'll never bound my freedom
my tongue
my virtue
So, I'll keep turning tricks
while you jut your noses to the sky.
Not a victim,
Nor the culprit.
I go by my own pace
Afterall it's my body; for me to dictate.
to dominate
to appreciate
and still be a saint.

I go by my own pace
Afterall it's my body; for me to dictate.

i got here via your thread.
it seems all present and correct. in terms of grammar and punctuation the period at the end of
line 4 might not be right because you start the next line with but, i think that if you replace the period with a coma and not capitalize the 'b'on 'but' it might be better.i am not sure about the period at the end of L13 either, though it may be o.k,
i like the way you have taken on the subject matter.
all in i think you have a good poem here.
nice one!

I'm sorry about my earlier comments on your typing, it's just really bothersome to me.
Thank you for liking my poem.
I must clarify that this poem is about sex workers and how they're often misunderstood and slagged for it. I'm a very avid supporter of pro-sex feminism and stopping hate against sex workers.
I however am not a sex worker.

Have some moral dignity in yourself. Men can be sluts, and so can women. You need to fall in love and not cheat on your man.

Cheating is irrelevant with this piece.
It is much more of an 'anthem' for sex workers ...both men and women alike. However, I'm a woman so I made it in a feminine pov.
Thank you for reading. :)

I really like this piece, a womans body is hers and hers alone, what she chooses to do with it is her own business.
