From a guys perspective, looking at the Red Light Districts of Korea, we tend to not think much of it because in a sense, it does seem like its a business. We are paying customers. We pay money in exchange for a service. Its very easy to be apathetic and to overlook whatever is going on inside those rooms. Because of this reason, its fun to make jokes and not really care about whats going on on a deeper level.
As a guy, I usually pray for awareness; that men, especially christian men, will be disgusted with what they see. Recently, pornography has been on my mind. As with drugs, no one just decides one day that they are going to smoke crack cocaine. They first start with a cigarette or a joint, then its lead to something else and so on. I remember in my D.A.R.E. class in elementary school, the teachers would say that cigarettes are gateway drugs. I feel the same way with pornography. I don't think that anyone wakes up one day and says they went to go have sex with a prostitute. I think it starts with small simple things like porn, then it leads to something else and so on. Then they find themselves in such a pit and have had their minds and bodies so polluted, sex with a prostitute isn't such a bad thing. Their consciences have been seared. So recently, I've been praying against pornography, lust of the flesh, etc., especially within the church. In america, they say the divorce rate amongst Christians is close to, if not the same as the divorce rate of those outside the church. It is the exact same thing with porn. The percentage of men in the church looking at porn is close to, if not the same as, those outside the church. So i think the root of the problem of Red Light Districts, massage parlors, etc, is porn. And because Christian men struggle with it, they feel unfit or guilty to take a stand. And if Christian men won't take a stand, who will?
