Prostitution

Should it be illegal or not?

I think it should be Illegal, it is not like I judge or some thing, but in my opinion this is just like selling your self over and over, and when seeing all the disease that we have around as well, so no second thought, Illegal.

Voted, Illegal.

Any kind of employment is selling yourself, IMO.

It happens anyway, and the stats in many countries prove that it doesn't make any difference if it's legal or not.

The question is what are the benefits for society when it is legal, and those are numerous, for one, the 'circuit' is in the open and laws and a control system can be made to protect higiene and everyone involved better than organised crime is doing in countries that prohibit it. prostitutes in countries that have legalized it are subject of regular medical checkups and that's more than what happens in the illegal circuit. Also so called 'female slave trading' which is going on is more easy to fight for law enforcement in countries with registered clubs and prostitutes.

You know, maybe you are right, but it is really about the person it self if he what to do that or not, some people don't even work because of what is going on in the world, and some directors unfortunately see that all the women are alike.

Do you really believe that it happens less where it is illegal?

In the words of George Carlin...

"Selling is legal. F*cking is legal. Why isn't selling f*cking legal?"

Atom · 08-28-2006, 05:06 PM

I've never had at an 'ore before ... not a paid one anyway. But I think that it should be legal.

Legal

Even though my personal view is that it's wrong, I think it should be legal so that it can be better controlled.

When things are illegal, they can not be controlled as well as they are pushed underground and we are usually left with more problems.

Legal. The government has no business in the bedrooms of the nation.

**G10** · 08-28-2006, 05:20 PM

Oh I don't know about that.

In the UK, the government/NHS (National Health Service) can even give out free condoms if you go and collect them, so you could say they are with you every step of the way

Let them do what they want. If they want to give themselves crabs, whatever. Although I prefer finding crabs at the beach and not in someones pants.

Very solid points and hard to argue against. I would tend to think that in places where it is legal, there are less sex crimes. Does anyone have any such stats or demographics?
