Legalising Prostitution?????

They're out there doing it anyway, they should get taxed for it just like any other worker (even if they're freelancing) and they should pay student tuition fees.

Not that I'm thinking of a change in career.

all for it, in belgium we have a kind of legalised prostitution

(scratches head)

Tricky...

I'm for it, but then again, if it were legalized, I'd always be broke.

here in the states it is called escort services--legal

Prostitution=illegal

there is a difference but
well no real hookers can be legal in belgium. it allows them to have some sort of pention and better working conditions (force by the goverment) and it protects them against exploitation and such

That's like a posh word for "hooker service" right? I've read up on them (again not because I'm considering a career change) but it always says no copulation involved but women who have been in the "profession" say that sex is always involved?

Umm.. BF, are you saying you'd be broke because.. you'd be taxed from your earnings .. as a prostitute???!

No, I'd purchase their services constantly.

well in THEORY an escort does not GUARANTEE sex

but in Practice 95% of them are just up class hookers

Well....like Ush said...😖 its tricky...

To leave it illegal or not to legalise mans oldest proffession....

I never saw the reason to keep it illegal

Yeah. I mean, I can see all the logical reasons that exist for legalising it.

But... umm... it is a big deal. There could be some very negative consequences. It is like the drugs argument- there could be good reason for its illegality despite the existing underground market.

maybe
but in belgium they thought/think
by legalizing it we will have a bigger shot at finding the illegal immigrants and the underaged boys and girls who work like that

It is the same logic with drugs. If you legalise it you can destroy the worst parts of the underground system. But it might still bring as many problems as it solves.

How about making up an agency where prostitutes get paid by "shift" and earn tips like bartenders? And we can't forget that sex has to be protected toooooo.

Excort services exist here as well, but I haven't read up on much about the British ones. Maybe some old ugly guy just pays for a pretty young thing to be seen with at restaurants or something?

There is an idea that it could encourage a highly defective morality, and the idea that sex is a product to be bought. That can lead to some bad places.

Yeah...

Also, im sure many religious groups will disagree with this, protest and make problems...i dont think it will work as an agency 😬

It might...

Also, to an extent greater than drugs, parts of the underground market will still exist after legalisation- for those who want anonymity, less hassle, and illegal trade.

On the OTHER hand... hmmm... tricky...

sorry but I think being a prostitution is WRONG!!!!! I mean sex is a thing that is suppose to between a husband and wife or at least two people who really love each other. it should not just be a thrill from the street......and it is NOT a real job! it is disgusting!, a real job is something you can be proud of, even if you dont like where you working you are still making money by good hard work. Prostitution is just sick! and any body who has Morals would realize that!

But as Asami said, they are already doing it...many women are. Those women obviously dont see it like that...
