I think that prostitutiion isn't going anywhere, seeing as how the sex drive is one of the strongest most instinctial drives we as humans possess. I do belive that it is a terrible situation, it is dangerous to everyone invovled. Keeping prostituition illegal is ultimately forching prostitutes to work without any kind of regulation. I don't think that prostitution should be all out legalized, but allowing comercial prostitution with strick regulations on health and testing and saftey would definitily save some lifes.

On the subject of prostitution. Well I am a catholic and have been brought up in catholic schools and the way of life. So obviously I would be against it.
But if I believed religious beliefs should be allowed to dictate laws, it would be a disaster. So I agree with the legalisation. If people want to get into that business, they should be able to be safe from violence and disease. It won't happen any more or less if it is legalised somewhere where it is illegal. It will reduce violent crime.

I heard prostitution in Amsterdam is very competitive, I want to visit there some time, the whores there are suppose to be hotter then the models we have here in the states. It should be legal, why not
P.S.: I accedently voted illegal, I meant legal

Been to the red light district (a must see) there and yes, you would be amazed at some of the hookers in AMS. You wouldn't suspect them being hookers if you saw them somewhere else than standing in a window with red light.

I suppose it depends on what someone thinks of 'hot'. A whore for me does not equal hot... it equals dirty.

Voted, Illegal.

If it were made legal, it could become part of the corporate world - selling sex  . Anyways, that would mean that very strict regulations could be set up, tests done, certifications etc. To me, that means the risk is definitely still there, but there is probably less risk but to more people, HOWEVER, that also means tons of money would be getting dumped into fixing STIs (more so than there already is). We know that money & sex drive people.

My friends went on a "EuroTrip" this past summer and had lots of encounters. They would be walking down the street and chicks would walk by and just say "Blowjob?" and it was like 10 - 15 euros. I think like four of them got one during the course of the trip lol

it must be illegal because some of them are minors, they're just changing their age to hook up and get paid. And at their early age they already got diseases
