I have no objections to prostitution as a viable alternative for any woman that wants to do that. However the reality is that there is a huge percentage of women now in this business against their will. For anyone who doesn't know about the sex slave trade issue in the world right now, it would be worth finding out about. Just to know the facts.
yeah its illegal and its still happening.so my point is legalize it,regulate it,tax it and enforce the laws that it must abide by

Which is exactly what they have done here in NZ, and it is apparently working well, except for the odd street walker who has met her death from a crazed customer...

I totally get where you are coming from, Rob. From a law enforcement standpoint it is a total waste of time and tax payers money to continue going after prostitutes and johns the way they currently do. My concern is that legalizing it will only increase the problem with the slave trade. Yes, they need to do something about it, but I doubt it's as simple as legalizing prostitution.

it's been proven that society is degraded by it


My master's degress will be in criminology. I graduate in the fall!! Yeaaaa! Criminal and Constitutional law classes are pivotal within my studies.

I just had a debate in my Constitutional Law class regarding this same issue. I had to defend prostitution.

If prostitution is not regulated -- girls working outside of the law -- then it can degrade society.

- Girls are less likely to report rape
- Less likely to report human trafficking or under-age girls
- Less likely to escape a pimp
- More prone to work on the streets rather than a hotel
There are other examples ....

By decriminalizing it (at the very least), the girls would have more confidence in reporting crimes against their person. Decrim is still illegal but society would put less emphasis on going after the offenders unless there are ehanced or life threatenting circumstances. Girls could work in a hotel more easily without the staff kicking them out, and law enforcement would not spend thousands and thousands of dollars for sting operations in netting MISDEMEANOR offenses.

Law enforcement would then be free to pursue felony issues with pimping/pandering, trafficking, and under-age/run girls.

By legalizing prostitution, the girls would have to get standardized health screening just like porn stars. If porn stars don't pass, they lose their 'safe' card and are ineligible to work. In terms of prostitution, they would have to abide by the same health screenings and mandates.

Also, legalized activity would require the girl to pay taxes. Having an escort license is legal, and can be claimed already. Girls can legally be paid for companionship. If they operate within the law, they can pay taxes, qualify to buy a home, get credit, etc, and have trackable, legal income.

These are just some of the arguments I pitted again my debate opponent. Honestly, by the time I finished with this project, I was surprised at how my attitude changed on this issue. I would support moving toward decrimalizing or legalizing.



also police would have to find something better to do than set up a sting operation to arrest and fill up the jails with men who are horny



Well, yes, the scope of my agrument was for both sides of the equation. winking

Unfortunately, the Johns are rarely shamed for participating in solicitation but the prostitutes are morally judged and are more criminally pursued. The societal norms are not gender equal on this issue.

Well, I think I am arguing a point that doesn't have much to do with what you are thinking. I understand your thought process. I hope you realize the extent of the problem with the slave trade and how it would possibly be exacerbated by the legalization of prostitution. That's my opinion.

Paying bills, via temporary prostitution, is obviously less likely to be admitted to (since the appearance of social acceptance is kept intact) than to admit to professional status.

As a former john, during my twenties, one difference that I noted is that the temp/semi-pro was much more involved in the sex than the pro would be. The expertise of the pro was educational/liberating, for what it was, but once those experiences were sated then the lure of truly involved women became more satisfying and essential.

The short-lived high-value of a new pro has a high lifelong cost by losing the freshness of intimacy. Imagine, if you can, trading away your vision or other senses, in doses, and within one year they become numbed to normal functioning. No medical procedure can restore its lustre. And it removes the ability to belong to the normal world.

Add to those things the unavoidable burden of becoming a means of spreading horrid disease, and enabling/encouraging infidelity, and other unsavory brands of reputation.
Motherhood? I have sat in the living room of such a mother's place of business, with her son, and saw firsthand the twilight zone life that was normal for him. It is not an easy memory to be rid of.

In all business matters: Buyer beware.
