Prostitution

[adamk1]

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.

That and you can't really tax it.

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.
