Should protitution be legal?

What do you mean when you say less bitter virgins?
Anyway, if it were, the pimps would have to file a tax return. I don't think they're interested in all that. It's legal in Las Vegas.

When a person says "prostitution" it doesn't imply just women. It could boys, girls, women, men, gay men, transvestites, transexuals, etc... Some people are so screwed up that they actually are led to believe it is "their" choice when most of the time it isn't.

No it isn't. What about those four prostitutes found face down in a watery ditch in Atlantic City, New Jersey? What was that? A benefit?

I will be seeing the woman again that I have seen twice already. I don't have a problem seeing her. Its something that I need.

True, it may there choice, but sometimes they fail to realize what they are getting involved in until after they start. People should really do research on their occupation they are thinking about doing or they are setting themselves up for a tough time.

But for the record, I am against it.

I think legalizing prostitution would give sex workers more safety and legal rights, so I think it's a better option that having it remain illegal. Most of the laws regarding sex are just society's discomfort with other people's sexual habits and the need to pass judgment on others. I don't think anyone would choose prostitution if they had another option, but they should at least be able to be protected by the law rather than made into criminals.

I thought that what goes on behind closed doors between consenting adults is their business and not other people's.



If I had any other choice, I would take that and leave my paying for it in the past. I see sex as a normal thing to do and normal people do it, and being an Aspie and knowing all that, my body tells me that I have to have it to so that I feel more normal than what I look. I agree about the law protecting people like me so that we can continue to keep paying for it. Its those people that villify us that should be locked up. Then they would shut their mouths and realise that what I do is none of their business. If they want me to stop seeing a prostitute then they should provide me with an alternative means to get some. If not, they should just shut it. If you want to pry into my sexual habits and villify me, then expect me to look at yours and spit some vitriol in your faces. You don't want to p*ss me off, JUST SHUT IT!! !

^What I meant when I said no one would choose prostitution, I should have specified: no one would choose to be a prostitute if they had another option. But I think your point is valid too. (On the other hand, there are many men who visit prostitutes because they want a sex partner they can exploit, and I don't condone that.)

And that where it ends for you. You can't go further and try and stop these men. They have their reasons why they do what they do. That needs to be understood and accepted by people like you. I'm not saying you have to accept their behaviour, I'm saying that you need to accept that they do what they do because they have gone through stuff to be like that. Obviously. You would either have to be emotionally imbalanced or a born nutter to abuse a women.

^I'm slightly confused by your posts. I'm agreeing with you. I think people should be able to do what they want in their private lives (unless it crosses the line to abuse or exploitation, and I don't think that you are someone who exploits women).

Speak for yourself. If I could fork out a couple hundred dollars to get laid by some decent looking chick....im in

In my country (Brazil) it is legal. I'm sure most prostitutes aren't on that line of work because they want, so, I don't see any reason to make their lives any more difficult than they probably already are. In other words, I agree with legalization of prostituition.

Of course, it leads to some problems. Namely, sex turism. Specifically, child prostitution. The government here is trying to put an end to this, but it's been difficult.

I agree. I don't see the point of having sex with someone who don't even feel attracted to you.

So go to Nevada or wherever else it's legal and do it.

Of course it should be legal.

Yes I think it should be legal, not that I'd use a prostitute but I don't see any reasons to make it illegal. (just like Marijuana, although I'd use that if it was legal)

both human trafficking and child prostitution increase with legalization. those reasons alone should be enough to keep prostitution illegal. i don't understand why the lives of trafficked women (and men) and exploited children are not worth protecting just so that men can legally purchase sex.
