    I think it should be illegal because nothing good comes out of that trade.

    I don't think prostitution should be "legal", because that implies a certain amount of government control or regulations.

    I think prostitution should be "de-criminalised" ...if some woman wants to provide sex for a fee and some male wants to pay for the sex, then they should be able to enjoy themselves without interference from the government or the doo-gooders.

    What, essentially, is the difference between spending money for a date in the hopes of getting laid, and just paying the price up-front and be assured of getting laid?

    Well, if we go by that guideline we should also make politics illegal.

    The former doesn't take 'getting laid' for granted. There is the whole process of emotional negotiation to get through.

    Legalize it. I want a little regulation; just two things: VD tests for the Prostitutes and Internet posting of the johns IDs. I want the wives to be able to catch their husbands.

    Keeping it illegal also requires regulation. Those that want to keep working underground still could work that way and have their VD and spread their VD to the wives of sleazy johns.

    Oh I understood it.

    Spot the errors in the following sentence ...

    if some woman wants to provide sex for a fee and some male wants to pay for the sex, then they should be able to enjoy themselves

    I've never known a woman who would want to be a prostitute. She would probably rather grow up in a loving household and one day have a loving boyfriend, a decent education, fun nights out with her friends, good standard of living and self respect....dont you think?
    But invariably broken homes, bad boyfriends, drug addiction and the resulting lack of self respect leave these daughters of men feeling like they have no choice and nothing left to lose.
    This is not what we want for our daughters. De-criminalising prostitution is the same as handing our daughters over to men who would disrespect them knowingly. Yes you can tell me the perils of driving it underground but I would rather my tax money went into setting up proper help centres to put these broken women back on their feet. Big visible help centres equipped with professional, compassionate people who really have the resources to be able to help. Does that make me a do-gooder? Good.

    peace

    And just how many women have you known in your life? And do you think that it's a representative cross-section of all the women in the world?

    All parents say/think that way??? And what of the ones who starve their children? Or the ones who lock them up in chains? Or the ones who sexually abuse them? Or the ones who run out on them and leave them destitute?

    C'mon, c2, ye're just being "nicey-nicey" when it seems like the thing to say. But it ain't got shit to do with the realities of the world.

    Where do the models come from who pose nude for the magazines? Where do he stippers come from in your local strip clubs? Where do the waitress come from who dress in almost nothing to wait tables in bars? Where do the XXX-rated actresses come from?

    No, you don't know women worth a shit!! Try again. But this time try not to post some "nicey-nice" bullshit ...try for reality if you know what it is.

    It should be legal, government controlled system, as long as the money has a chunk of tax taken out.
    It is just sex, most natural thing in the world, but if it is going to be an actual industry then the government should take its cut like everyone else.

    I HATE people who earn money without paying tax.

    The more controlled it is the better, the cleaner it will be if it is just a job, not a way for criminals and scum to earn money and treat women badly.

    I dont apply the same logic to drugs, in fact quiet the opposite, all drugs except for medicinal drugs should be eliminated, tea, coffee, alcohol, nicotine GONE.
    Terrible habit, especially coffee, i have tried to quit caffiene for years and i cannot do it, now that is just fucking evil getting me hooked to that stuff in coca cola and shit, you see it in a lot of drinks.

    Enough to have a view.

    Yes.



    People who love their kids yeah.

    The dont love their kids.

    If more people were nicey-nicey then the realities of the world would contain far less negatives.

    From their mothers wombs.

    I could try again but I am afraid I am not going to say anything any different. I just cannot see prostitution as an acceptable way of life. It is a degrading and dangerous profession. Like I said, I would much rather my tax money go into developing opportunities for women who would like to regain their self respect.

    peace

    I agree that it should be legalized everywhere. It doesn't hurt anyone. It is already legalized in my country, anyway.

    There should be rules to guarantee the safety of the prostitutes and about where pick up sites might be. Not so long ago such an area was closed close to where I live, the 'Tippelzone' (which was an official prostitute pickup zone) because it was a breeding place for drug dealers, addicts, too young prostitutes and nuisance for people living next to it.

    Man = Enjoys himself
    Woman = Earns loads of cash in my country, especially those that work as an escort. May even enjoy herself.

    If a man has money and needs sex, and a women needs money and is willing to provide the sex, what's the problem? Why should sex be the only human need that can't be satisfied with cash?

    Call me old fashioned but I believe sex is deeply entwined with love and you cant buy that.

    Thank god prostitution is illegal!... lol, are people honestly still asking this question? look how well the anti-prostitution battle has gone.

    Ironically, with todays laws, the only benefactors are the pimps.

    Hail justice!

    There's a difference between "making love" and "having sex".

    Did you used to ever be deeply entwined with yourself whenever you'd masturbate? I would hope not. That's basically the difference between making love and having sex. One's for a quick get-off, and the other is much more intimate.

    Hands up everyone who wants to clean toilets?
    or handle toxic waste?
    or spung bath hospital or nursing home patients?

    i have herd this argument so many times and its shear idiocy

    1) it ignores that there are jigilos
    2) It ignores that its going to happen anyway and how to we lessen the halm that comes of it
    3) and it makes out that all women have the same ethics, just because no one grows UP saying they want to be one doesnt mean that they dont CHOSE to be one, for starters young kids wouldnt know what one was anyway

    And so what if there is no emotional negiotiation invlolved, FOR christ sake are you one of those rabid feminists? How many times do guys and girls get drunk and just screw? who are you to tell 2 (or more) concenting adults they shouldnt do it

    It should be legal and they should have to pay taxes like the rest of us
