The Sixth Commandment: You shall not commit adultery.
Why is prostitution a form of fornication?
In prostitution "love" becomes a commodity and the person is degraded to an object of pleasure. That is why prostitution is a serious offense against human dignity and a serious sin against charity.
Certainly those who profit from prostitution - human traffickers, pimps, clients - burden themselves with greater guilt than the women, men, children, and young people who sell their bodies, often under duress or in situations of dependence. (YOUCAT question 411)
