II. The Vocation to Chastity
2355 Prostitution does injury to the dignity of the person
who engages in it, reducing the person to an instrument of sexual pleasure. the
one who pays sins gravely against himself: he violates the chastity to which his
Baptism pledged him and defiles his body, the temple of the Holy Spirit.139 Prostitution is a social scourge. It usually
involves women, but also men, children, and adolescents (The latter two cases
involve the added sin of scandal.). While it is always gravely sinful to engage
in prostitution, the imputability of the offense can be attenuated by
destitution, blackmail, or social pressure.
