Prostitution
 
Your thoughts.

Savage Clone 02.09.2007 10:26 AM

Not interested myself, but I do believe in full legalization.
It's not ever going away.

My town is known for its brothels, they are illegal here..but everyone turns a blind eye. The street that the brothels are on, is the same st that the police station is on, but because they didnt want to be, they split the street in half, so it changes as you get further along.

Danny Himself 02.09.2007 10:27 AM

Liverpool still has no red light zone. Thats why all our prostitutes are dead.

sonicl 02.09.2007 10:30 AM

Legalise it, and licence brothels. If someone is desperate enough to sell their body for sex, they need all the support and protection they can get.

porkmarras 02.09.2007 10:32 AM

Someone i know made me think of this because every now and then they'll go on the game when strapped for cash and they did so recently.I'm all for doing what you like for as long as you don't hurt yourself or others.I couldn't do it myself.

it's the most traditional job in the world

jon boy 02.09.2007 10:36 AM

its legal in a lot of countries you would be suprised. i guess that they should have licensed brothels so at least women would not have to walk the streets and get into strangers cars. it will never be completely irradicated so you may as well control it.

there are some serious cases of human traffic and exploration when it comes to prostitution. this is no yey boobies! topic. hah.

An aside: I went to school at Loyola in Chicago, and they were not allowed to form sororities, as the cohabitation of a certain number of females in one dwelling constituted a brothel. Fraternities, however, were perfectly legal.

Anyhow, I'm a proponent of legalization. Not necessarily in the interests of protection, since choosing that profession is an agreement to incur the accompanying risks of abuse/disease, but because selling one's body for sex is an issue of personal choice and responsibility. While there are certain gray areas, I don't generally feel it is the authorities' job to protect members of the general public against their own bad behavior.

For example: the clean needle program. While I realize it reduces disease in general, and consequently, the burden on taxpayers for the cost of healthcare, I personally don't think governmental action ought to be taken to make such behavior safe, simply because "they're going to do it anyhow." While it sounds a bit harsh, contracting disease is something that ought to weed that kind of epidemic out.

While I'm not comparing this precisely to prostitution (I'm not saying all whores and addicts should be offed), the same principle applies. You want a little cooch, you have to be willing to pay the price, both literally and figuratively.

Savage Clone 02.09.2007 10:41 AM

Well, the clean needle program wouldn't be needed if all drugs were legal as well, which they should be.
That falls under the umbrella of "not protecting people from their own bad behavior" as well, does it not?

But the cases of human trafficing and exploitation come about because of the illegal staus of the profession.

Tokolosh 02.09.2007 10:45 AM

One of the oldest professions around, and it should be respected.

Precisely.

porkmarras 02.09.2007 10:47 AM

The issue of desease is very important but it has to be said that there are also many other 'types' of prostitution that never require sexual intercourse.This person i've mentioned told me that this guy asked him to sniff him and that was it.For as much as i find that sick myself,it is also an indication of what the market requires and has to offer.

truncated 02.09.2007 10:49 AM

To clarify, I don't have any moral objections to prostitution. Frankly, I'm indifferent. I wouldn't do it myself, but it's an entirely personal choice, and defined by each individual's values system. Is it conceptually any different from compromising one's ideals to take a corporate sales job, for example?

haha, interesting.

king_buzzo 02.09.2007 11:04 AM

i'm thinking it should be legalised but prostitutes should not be insulted or anything for what they do.

jon boy 02.09.2007 11:05 AM

that reminded me of my pwn private idaho.

Iain 02.09.2007 11:54 AM

Yes, I think it should be legalised for sure. Forgive me if I'm being stupid but I always wondered what the difference between selling your body as a prostitute and selling your body as a porn star was. Surely you are selling your bosy for sex either way?

jon boy 02.09.2007 01:09 PM

according to the decrimanolise prostitution now coalition:

Prostitution is LEGAL (with some restrictions that aren't that bad) in Canada, most all of Europe including England, France, Wales, Denmark, etc., most of South America including most of Mexico (often in special zones), Israel (Tel Aviv known as the brothel capital of the world), Australia, and many other countries. It is either legal or very tolerated in most all of Asia and even Iran has "temporary wives" which can be for only a few hours! New Zealand passed in 2003 one of the most comprehensive decriminalization acts which even made street hookers legal which is causing many concerns. I do NOT support public nuisance street hookers being legal unless in special zones. But PRIVATE consenting adult sexwork should be legal as it is in most of the world except the U.S.

nicfit 02.09.2007 01:26 PM

As long as it's a personal choice, I don't care. When it has to do with "modern slavery" I hate it. Pretty demagogic, nuh?

SpectralJulianIsNotDead 02.09.2007 02:25 PM

Girls have paid me to put mr peepers into their bajingo before. It is pretty profitable.

That is one of the most unsettling things I've ever read, for a number of reasons.

I'm just not sure about you, boy.

Have you been watching 'Midnight Cowboy' recently?

SpectralJulianIsNotDead 02.09.2007 04:01 PM

No I was watching Scrubs. There is this girl that calls her vagina a bajingo.

Massenvernichtungswaffen 02.09.2007 05:46 PM

Massenvernichtungswaffen 02.09.2007 05:49 PM
