Whats the difference between prostitution and a porn star? As far as I see it, there is no different other than one there is a camera?!? One is legal the other is illegal.
The reason prostitution is illegal is because it has negative connotations and that it is associated a lot more with crime and drugs, if it was made and controlled as a legal profession, it would stop a lot of problems and it could be taxed to protect, regulate and monitor the industry because there is no way that because it is illegal its going to stop desperate women or creepy men.

Would legalizing prostitution prevent the pre-adult girls and boys that are currently involved in it from being involved? Would it really prevent the outside the system practices by creepy men and desperate women as you put it?
I would venture to think, legalizing it wouldn't really reduce the amount of it going on illegally it would just make a legal side and an illegal side. Look at Las Vegas for example. It is legal outside the city limits, yet they still have to spend an immense amount of money and resources to combat it within the city limits.

Its a womans body, let her do with it as she sees fit. Making Prostitution illegal is just a form of control over women, and to some part men.
Its not the governments job to regulate our sex lives.

The difference between this two are on-camera/open to public while another one is private.
By the way if Prostitution will be legal, I'm afraid about STD or Sexual Transmitted Disease, it is non-curable disease, even you're not taking a sexual activities you're also acquired the STD especially AIDS or Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome.

Does not the transmission of STD's by prostitutes actually argue more to the legalization side? If you legalize and regulate the profession then you can ensure that workers remain healthy. The legal workers would probably also self monitor the industry relieving some of the demand for resources in illegal prostitution prevention.

Yes, But I'm talking about the consequences if the prostitution goes to legal. We know it is Oldest Profession in a Whole World. By the way I dismayed this recent situation because there are many children and women involve this profession. Another one is the racism or discrimination to women if goes to Legalized of Prostitution and increasing of Children Rights Violation.

I have to oppose to this statement. Some sexual transmitted disease are CURABLE.

you can acquire STD even if you're not having a SEXUAL ACTIVITIES?!?! do you understand the word coming out of your mouth??? read your post.. STD stands for SEXUAL TRANSMITTED DISEASE right? so you can acquire it by having sex.
yeah you can have the virus in some way like blood transfusion, sharing of syringe, saliva.
Be specific.. There are curable STD and there are non-curable.

what the?!?!?
its not a simple cold or fever that you can base it on the body resistance...
some STD. AIDS in particular, attack your immune system making it weak, FRAIL and eventually become very prone to sickness. even a simple fever or cold could be fatal for those who have AIDS.
so don't tell us that it depends upon the body resistance of a human..
know the facts.. don't spread false information dude.

All this talk about sexually transmitted diseases is moot anyway.
STDs are not exclusive to prostitutes and their clients.

yeah you're right but the statements above says that prostitution is the one of the big factors of transmitting STD(Lolito's statements).
for me the main factor why we can't stop the spreading of the virus is not having a safe sex and not knowing the right information on how to prevent acquiring the virus.

The profession of prostitution has nothing much to do with the transmission of STDs.
STDs can be found everywhere and in every type of person.
Kids in high school get them.

I think that prostitution should be a legitimate business venture by permit, with government regulation.
