Prostitutes

Sexual acts between consenting adults are moral so long as neither partner is breaking a promise to others. The exchange of money does not change this.

This exchange however, does support a socio-economic practice that is almost invariably damaging to prostitutes in a myriad of ways. This would make involvement in such an institution wrong.

I propose then, that prostituion is acceptable so long as:

[list][*]Both partners are consenting adults.

[*]Neither partner is breaking a promise to others.

[*]And the practice is not harmful to either party.[/list]

It is the right of the government to provide a moral guideline for us to follow. It is the right of the government to outlaw cash transactions of which it is unable to collect income tax.

good point, but it will never be truly illegalized. there are more inconspicous methods out there than standing out on a street corner or working for a brothel.

well, sure you can break the law and still do it, but I am thankful it is illegal strictly for the my protection against epidemics caused by sexually transmitted diseases.

thats crap. prostitution is bad, but all the money we throw away trying to fight it could feed and clothe homeless people. after all, people have sex every day. what about guys who cant pick up women on their own? should they be deprived of having sex just cuz they have no game? no. income tax? thats the only reason prostitution and marijuana are illegal.

It's not crap. All the money we throw away? We make money on arrests. All the money we spend of defending our country could be used to feed and clothe homeless children too, and alot more of them.

You don't think of it as degrading to have to pay somebody for sex? I certainly do. The prostitutes would also have to be regulated, which requires insurance. They would have to contribute to a Social Security plan. The prostitutes will want the governement to support them. Higher taxes.

Income tax is not the only reason marijuana is illegal. It's a drug with no proven benefits and much downside.

I don't.

If you have enough money, you can have sex anyways... 😈

The one who forces the girls to do it 😬

Yeah like that stuff in Germany now where a woman can have her unemployment benefits stripped if she refuses to take work as a prostitute. Anyone remember that a few months back? There was a law saying that women can be stripped of benefits if they refuse to take it off and put out. Nice to see that freedom of choice is alive and well overseas...

Its a VICTIMLESS CRIME both classified and in the reality sense of it...

I personally would NEVA go to a prostitute,

what about women who are in desperate need of money. should they sell their bodies to men who have no game just because they have no other choice? no.

sex isn't a right. you cannot stamp your feet and demand to get laid and you certainly cannot expect other people to screw up their life screwing others because they'd otherwise die virgins.

Yes.....if that'S their only choice taking this possibility from them is cruel and stupid

And yes Sex isn't a right...but a girl that wants to give it in exchange for something has the right to give it.......

if that's their only possibility, then something's wrong and should be fixed, rather quick. I know that for some women this is the only way to get by and simply banning prostitution without helping them in any other way won't exactly make them ecstatic with joy. what I'm against is the attitude that prostitution cannot be helped and oh, by the way, it's actually quite convenient for some of the blokes so why bother? the easy way out is to think either/ or: either they'll sell themselves or they'll starve. that's not gonna get us anywhere.

when that something is herself, I'm not quite certain whether I agree. afterall we have strict regulations when it comes to selling yourself for other purposes, one of the reasons being that you as a human being aren't just a material good.

i live in Reno. here, it is perfectly legal in the brothels. not on the street.....anyhow, you cant stop a girl from doing that. she will do what she wants no matter what is said or made illegal. that does not mean i agree with it. i think it is a disturbing profession and i would assume that the woman felt degraded in the least. however, i can not assume. some like the job. the point of the matter is, you may not like, but you cant stop it. i personally and sickened by the idea. how could some one need sex that bad???? its horrible and nasty but there is nothing we can do about it.

people will do what ever they'll do and basically there's nothing we can do about it. that doesn't mean that we don't try. we live by laws and we break them every day. still, when breaking them, we have a sense of wrong doing. we know that the society we're part of have chosen to condemn that action ( whether it's me ignoring a red light og strangling my least favourite teacher). by condemning something you don't make it go away entirely, but you make a statement concerning what's regarded ethically correct. so yes, there's loads we can do about it. we're definitely going to disagree exactly what, but I'd rather that than simply sit with my hands in my lap saying " nothing we can do about it", adding a " as long as it's not my daughter/mother/sister/girlfriend/wife/neighbour, that is ..."

i agree, however, we cant tel lthem they cant do it....prusuit of happiness.

no? yet we can tell them not to steal, murder, molest, harass, abuse, drink and drive, beat up old women, walk around naked, burn their clothes in the street and vandalize nude statues, even though this might ruin their pursuit of happiness ...

point taken, good one
