prostitution, should it be legal?

[SmokeyDan]

I can certainly understand the argument that two people voluntarily contracting for a service that involves harm to no one else should be permitted.

I also reject the argument that it involves human trafficking and the like. I think this is just a byproduct of it being a black market area.

I think even if a woman entered into it voluntarily she might be severely emotionally harmed as a result.

I don't know if that is enough that it is her right to sell her ass if she wants to do so, but to me it is the best argument against it.

I feel that a well regulated prostitution sector could be beneficial to all parties involved.

What say ye all?

I was watching some cartoon, family guy maybe. And the scene is a guy and hooker about to get busy. A policeman busts down the door and says they are under arrest for prostitution. The camera turns and the guys got a camera setup. and says I did pay her, but I am also filming it so that makes it pornography. And the cop just says well alright and closes the door. And its pretty much true. (I know you need permits and shit for porno, but its just making a point)

I too think a regulated hoebizzle sector would be better. safety and taxwise.

 

[SnapsProvolone]

Yes, should be legal.

But never will because too much goes untaxed.

Regulating other peoples bodies and what they do with them? Hmmm.....I smell a hint of slavery in the air.

A well regulated person shits at the same time each day. Messing with other peoples shit absent their consent is a very slippery slope and runs contrary to protecting freedom.

Prostitution if it is consensual is a far more honest business than politics.

I have a better idea....we all mind our own business.

Oh wait, fucking religion is in the mix.

I thought politics WAS prostitution.

Not quite, no prostitute ever tried to run my life.


Prostitution involves an exchange between parties, value for value. You can take it or leave it, nobody should be forced to engage in or participate in prostitution, but that is a strawman.

Politics involves the use of force or threat of it to facilitate others making your choices for you, with or without your consent.


Coercive government ie "Politics" is akin to rape. Prostitution is akin to a fair business exchange if all involved parties are there by mutual agreement.

 

[mainliner]

some people see the good side to life, others see dept owing gambling addicts who smoke crack while getting aids from a prostitute,,,,,,,acctually sounds good to me?

 

[ILM]

Hot Call girls ya
Nasty crack whores no

 

[Rob Roy]

Hot Call girls ya
Nasty crack whores no

Nasty crack whores should still be able to own their own body.

Recognition of freedom insists that even people you may not associate with have the same right of self ownership as those whose behavior you endorse.

 

[ILM]

No doubt .I guess I meant
Street walkers selling there ass on the corner with scabs and shit hanging off there face. Id say a private deal between two consenting aadults is no biggie just dont want to
Have to explain that to my little girls as we stroll through the neighbohood

You give me money, I vote for your legislation. Seems like a fair exchange to me.

I was watching a panel discussion on YouTube about legalization of prostitution.

They had a few women on the panel, each of whom (with the exception of a former NYC madame) that took the worst case scenarios from child sex trafficking to the mental health of prostitutes who are beaten, as if this would happen in a regulated industry.

Given the irrational state of most women on most issues, I welcome your absence from the discussion.

prostitution, should it be legal?

Absolutely.

A well regulated and trained "whore corps" can provide a valuable service to society by providing additional tax revenue, employment opportunities for chicks, and STD and prostate cancer screening.

Working girls are nothing more than physical therapists and should be treated as such.

How do you respond to the detractors view that it has psychological consequences for the working girl?

These people say such consequences exist despite higher fees and better working conditions in a legal regulated brothel.
