Memphis City Council member Shea Flinn wants the the city to study the idea of creating an ‘adult entertainment district’ for strip clubs and other sex-oriented businesses. He wants a committee to look into a possible location as well as answer the question whether “this is the right thing to do.”

Is it the right thing to do? Why or why not?

The establishment of such an “adult entertainment zone” is the wrong thing to do. The existence of such clubs should be discouraged in every legal way, not encouraged. Such clubs reflect an immature, not an adult, sexuality. Such clubs thrive on the exploitation of the women and the denigrating of the beauty of human sexuality.
