Do you think this will prove to be a positive for society, or would it simply be easier to round them all up and slap a custodial sentence on anyone involved?

Is Oxford offering any Majors in this department yet?

In general I believe that if you choose to be a prostitute then how much sympathy can you expect when shit goes wrong?

I'm failing to see why legalising it would be a problem for those living around red-light districts. You don't have to pick up a prostitute if you don't want to, nobody's asking you to hang out in the street.

But surely it's going to cost a hell of a lot of money, and time, to ensure that these prostitutes can 'work' in a safe and hygienic environment. Why don't they just get a job?

Exactly. Or why don't they realise that choosing to sell their bodies for sex is utterly dangerous and not call for OTHERS to make effort in it being safer.

I'd say Skyscraper Construction is rather dangerous too...so they should get another job too?

Prostitution is nothing else than any other job and it should be legal all the way.

Bardock, it's a touch more than any other job. Have a little pride.

I don't see what you mean. Explain please.

Do you honestly think that prostitution is on a par with most other employment? And do you think it warrants money being spent in order to protect these people while they work, while they provide sexual favours for money? It's not a necessity, why should any money be handed out to help people who prefer to sleep around, for cash, when other self respecting people actually go out and do a decent job to earn a pittance in comparison?

Really Prostitution is a job like every other job out there. And it shoudl be legal.

I guess everyone has their own opinion, but I can't see how you can say prostitution is a job like any other. Kinda makes me feel a little deflated about my job.

Animals show that prostitution as always been around... and it will always be around... (till we all get chips in us that monitor every part of our lives)

I say they should legalise it, as this would also take money away from the mobs... also then they can tax it....

I heard Method Man (of Wu-Tang Clan, for those that don't know) say something similar about girls complaining how they're objectified in music videos.

"I'd say they have it great. They get paid well for shaking around in a music video on MTV and if it's good enough pay for them to decide that lowering themselves is ok, who are they to complain? Their choice."

Same with prostitution.

Yes, their choice...thing is they are not actually lowering themself..they just do a job.

Yes, but they are not actually lowering themself.

Prostitution should be treated as a business. So yes, moderations would be good.

If you're willing to parade around in boyshorts and a bikini top for a camera for money, or walk the streets and have sex with a man for money, then you're either lowering yourself or you have zero standards as it is.

Which I think may be your point.

-AC Well, not really. I think that it's not actually lowering oneself...it's jsut getting money for a service...a service many other people won't do. Would you say the guy that repairs toilets and has to dig through piles of shit is lowering himself? I dont think so...but it's basically the same as what syren says.

Sex is very different to cleaning toilets.

Allowing some random stranger to penetrate you for cash is a lot different than wearing a pair of gloves and cleaning a toilet.

No, it is actually different.

I understand and agree that society puts emphasis on things to make people react a certain way to different issues, but a female allowing multiple men PER NIGHT to penetrate her for money is much different to a man cleaning a toilet for money.

Thank you! Which is what I said, using the toilet cleaner as an example, someone's got to do it. Someone does not have to do a job such as prostitution. He's doing a job perhaps I wouldn't do but it doesn't mean he has no standards.

There is always picky purposes behind any job. You could say the prostitute is working to get money for something.

The point is, being a lawyer is a more high profile job than managing a store, managing a store is more high profile than working in fast food. All of these are more high profile than SELLING YOUR OWN BODY FOR SEX.

I am not talking aboot purposes. Of course there's always a purpose.

I don't get it? Yes, lawyers are more useful, society respects it more, it's probably harder....but that's why it gets paid better. A job is a job is a job.
(again I am not sure what you mean with the word profile) but Prostitution is in no way the lowest form of work. it is more useful than other jobs...and it has less people offering it.

There are many reasons.

They figure prostitution is fast cash, and its every day. It's alot of cash, a prostitute can make up to $3,000 in one night. They have pimps who wont let them leave. real jobs arent appealing, they dont have qualifications for well paying jobs so they'd end up mopping floors and cleaning toilets. their drug addictions wont let them wait for paychecks. some think that their is no other way. some just like the sex.

different reasons for every prostitute.

Prostitution fulfils an important function in society. Probably stops more sexual crimes than custodial sentences ever will. Respect the masseurs and escorts. Nuff said.

The right to have morals? It's a subjective view, I realise this. According to ME though, prostitution is low.

Walking the streets sleeping with man after man, not knowing what danger lie before you. There are so many dangers.

Rape, disease, being trapped by pimps and possibly traffic organisations.

Oh then we perfectly agree it was just a misunderstanding.

It is dangerous of course....but it should be legal anyways....Being a Headhunter is dangerous too..or a police officer (I realize the jobs are probably mopre useful to society as a whole but that*S not the point.

And don't you think some of the problems would dissappear if it was made legal?

well, the point i am alluding to is legalised prostitution makes life safer for prostitutes. keep it illegal and they are subject to the worst case scenario every time...kinda like abortions when you think about it. when its legal a doctor does it, when its illegal and society convinces itself that this is the way to solve the problem, coat hangar sales skyrocket.

One of the problems with legalising it is that there could be a lot of needless court cases through silly little things.

Legality means rules and it only takes a step over that line even slightly for a desperate prostitute to try and sue the pants off a guy.

yeah, they will certainly try, but most likely not succeed. probably laughed out of court in fact....unfortunately though i imagine even a legit case may be laughed out of court, given society's view on the individual prostitute.

true, ture...never though aboot that....I will practice it right away.

There seems to be a little confusion.

Running a hostel and walking the streets as a prostitute are two different things.

When you are trapped by a pimp and walk the streets for cash, you're a low prostitute.

When prostitution is legal and you work in a hostel, things are different. Take a look at The Bunny Ranch in Nevada here in the U.S. it's expensive as hell, thats for sure, but that's because there's a bar to chill out in if you dont want sex, there's a shop to buy protection like condoms, and even toys. the girls are tested every month for disease. condoms are mandatory.

tell me someone sees the difference between a prostitute walking the streets and legalized prostitution in a brothel.

I don't. Well I see the factual difference but not a moral one.

Originally posted by Bardock42

My point exactly

Originally posted by Bardock42
I don't. Well I see the factual difference but not a moral one.

the difference is that one is more professional than the other. a proper brothel will have security so the women arent mistreated, on top of all kinds of other benefits. walking the streets practically naked for all hours of the day and night is just a tiny bit different than having a proper hostel opening and closing like a professional workplace.

Say whatever you want about prostitution, its horrid, its immoral, whatever. Fact is, it's the second oldest profession in existence. First would be gathering food. That means at least some people have to like it.

That'S why I am saying that there is a factual difference...not a moral one.

I agree with Bardock on this. It's probably not the most pleasant of jobs for many, though.

This can only improve that, because prostitution won't be stopped.

well i dont see anyhting wrong with a professional brothel. hookers walking the street is just nasty though.

i've said this many a time and i stand by it, it cant be too hard to moderate legal brothels, they do it in Aus very successfully, and as you can see, we're doing just fine, no anarchy in the streets here

Theres a world of difference between aus and the states...

I support these women. Some of many men need them for sex including me. I never try because of fear of diseases (I don't use tools) and for that only. Other women fear them. In my case I should wait till things are better.

You need them... Yet your scared to use them...

Hmmmm A sad tale of woe indead.... I wish you strength so you can fight through your fears...

Having read some of the comments, I can see how leglising and moderating prostitution would be beneficial.

My only point was that out of all the various jobs we do, selling yourself for sex has to be one of the lowest

I think Bardock is simply saying (indirectly, perhaps) that if someone enjoyed being a prostitute, and was in no real danger, there's no reason to consider the job any worse than any number of other jobs.

I don't know- if there's no real problem with the job, then that epiphenomenal 'problem' becomes irrelevant.

I don't particularly like contributing to the healthcare of people that make themselves ill by smoking, but it's something that has to be done.

Well that's of course pointless...I don't see why Prostitution should become a Government Controled Business....it should jsut be like all others....people don't have to pay to keep slaughterhouses safe and clean, or do they?

I got it. Prostitution being legalised and, as a consequence, being subsidised by 'the people' would just constitute as another of those unsavoury things that nobody really likes having to pay for?

Not really, as Bardock says there's no reason people would have to pay for it.

If it did happen that way, I wouldn't exercise a moral high ground over the fact that they are sex workers, as the tax saving would be at the expense of the safety, and possibly lives, of those who work in that area.

Well While we are legalising it, Should we not put industry standards in? Make sure the girls are atractive, at least a c cup... that sort of criteria.. So that you know that when you go to a brothel Your getting a quailty product...

Yeah, prostitution is of course legal in Holland (as for accepted: let's say it's still taboo) but because the boss threatens, it's hard to just regularly check whether the girl is indeed working because of her own will.

It's often a girl who is seduced by a "loverboy" and splitting up all contact with friends and family and eventually with her taken to live someone else..
And that is where his true intention comes out.

I mean I believe under some circumstances it's legal in germany too. The question I ask is it totally legal? I don't see the reason why it is different than let's say working in a factory. The problem seems to be that since it isn't accepted and it's still a taboo it is just very different from any other job, although it shouldn't be. I think the Police should have to look into it more. And there might have to be rules for someone owning a brothel. It just should be treated like , let'S say a food factory.

Well technically some men are going to a brothel to eat, so it's kind of like a food factory, just not with food.

Well, but you can force the owners of the brothels to provide Aids and Drug Tests for the Prostitutes. I really don't see the big deal. (Maybe I am naive...but I don't think so)
