Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hmm...well it could bring the economy back to balence...but then you would have the conservatists that would say that its selling sex and that is WRONG! xd

But seriously, from my standpoint, legalized prostituion would be god in theory, as long as the pimps didnt get involved. Of course,if they did, then it would become something of a business, and the product would always be hot...but I don't know...they would need some sort of poolicy againest those dudes that would beat the women during the sexin'.

More like "Damn I'm an ugly white male, so I can't get any money for sex!!!" Seriously, guys don't like the idea of a woman getting money for something that a man can't get just as easily or easier.



Umm...

Well, from what I've read and learned about prostitution, most of them are not the "sexy" babes you think they are. Many are older, and in order to get a really "high class" one, you have to fork over serious cash. Anyone who is just "small time" is usually not really that sexy at all; just some regular woman who is desperate enough to sell her body on the street.

There are tons of women who sell their bodies, though, who are not legally recognised as prostitutes.

Yes, my friends, I'm talking about women who marry men for money/stability/etc.
They, like other desperate women, will give up their status, their money, and their freedom to become basically what a prostitute is; sex in exchange for economic goods (money).

Prostitution, should be legal, but it should be legal and completely run by women. Men should have no place in the whoring business except for those in the male prostitution business (and they would have separate places). Unlike any other place, I believe that a whorehouse or a brothel should be completely run by women, and protected by the law like any other establishment. If someone ******** without paying, they get Myra the Bosom Bouncer to straighten him out. If someone hurts his whore, he must pay insurance on the damaged goods.

Seriously, this would work well, but let's stop glamorizing this profession. It's meat smacking, v****a access for a price. Nothing more, nothing less.

*nods*

Of course I was talking about the sex part of the equation, not the product being sold. And its a well documented fact that America *despite being the country that invented Girls Gone Wild* is one of the most prudish countries in the world. Like she said, if it were to be legalized, it should only be run by people capable of doing so, and not by the nexy random shmuck with a million bucks. And I apoligize if I offended anyone.

Actually, we could use some of Europe's policies for this. In many countries over there prostitution is already legal.

They regulate and supervise them, so that they get their medical exams every certain time periods. They have a retirement fund, they have medical insurance, and I think they even have dental plans.

That, and even though they work on the street, they have security near by in some countries. I don't think pimps are involved, though, so I wouldn't know how that work, but I'm thinking like they're agents, so they get a certain cut of the pay.

I also think that it can be run by men. I do think that men have a place in the whoring business, and it's not just when they're the prostitutes. But I digress. I think that it should be run like any service industry.

Homely, anorexic, crack-addicted college girls showing off their uneven tits and nicked-while-shaving crotches to a camera, snorting and shouting, "Oh noes, look what I did!" are not hot! Dove commercials are sexier! gonk



I think prostitution should be legalized and controlled by people that care - no pimps, no madams, and NO unsypathetic law-enforcers. Unfortunately I don't believe it will or even could happen in America. People do think of prostitutes as immoral jezebelles preying on children and shooting up in alleys with their money. Doesn't matter what the truth of it is, there's no way any of us will live to see prostitutes respected in this country. Maybe another 150 years...

I believe that prostitution should be legalized. Prostitution is not selling love or emotions or any other guarantees of happiness. It is selling sex. It is a service. It needs to meet various requirements and such, just like any other business. Environment, safety, and age requirements would be necessary. Participants might have to sign a waiver or what not, and identities should be kept private. As prostitution exists right now, it is unsanitary and unsafe in many cases. An amount of risk would still be there, but a lesser one. There would have to be advertising regulations of the business and it would be shut down if those rules are not followed. Those currently in jail just for prostitution should be let go and given help finding a new place to do business for. For those clients looking for naughtier sexual intercourse and the like would have to sign more forms to prevent lawsuits and other nasty things from happening to the business. On the same note, escort services that are strictly about escorts should be established. The government would have it mandatory and strictly enforced that a certain amount of the client's fees would have to go to the prostitute. A better, more socially accepted name should be made so that the shame can go away from the industry. It should not be looked down upon, and even though it will take years and years to correct this problem, it would be a good start. Men should also be allowed to prostitute under this same system. Although, the demand might not be realized right away, I believe that homosexual men and heterosexual women, might slowly up the demannd. As a person, I sometimes feel that being a prostitute is somewhat like being a nurse, it is more acceptable for a woman to be a prostitute than a man, even though prostitution in general is not socially acceptable, and so there is a smaller amount of male prostitutes. I think this balance over time could be corrected, because it is not just men who might need or want sex. It is a healthy activity, and a great stress reliever. Doctors should be onsite or at a ready convenience to ensure the safety of all involved at the prostitution facility.

The banning of prostitution is similar to the banning of alcohol, or the banning of abortion. Even if we ban it, the law will still be broken. We can at least increase safety, and supply the people with their needs, wants, and desires. It would clear the jails out of some people in their just for prostitution charges and the government money saved on that could go to the program for establishing safe prostitution facilities. This could create jobs for people and even boost the economy and safety of our communities.

This might control some of the problems with pimps and the like. It would not eliminate them all, but it would be a start, and could allow for safe places for these girls to go to after they can get away. Security personnel and staff could be on duty 24 hours a day, again creating more jobs. This system would not be perfect, and again have its downfalls, but would be better than having no system in place. Not every prostitute would be safe immediately, but it would be a start, and perhaps prevent more prostitutes from being unsafe.

Some may argue now that having prostitution legalized we are providing an immoral image for our children and grandchildren because we are saying that they can sell their bodies, but this is not so. They are not selling their bodies. They are selling services which their bodies provide, just like any other service such as massages, physical therapy, and what not. It would protect the lives of citizens and show compassion for prostitutes caught in bad situations. We would free our jails of so-called criminals, that have not really in my mind at least, really done a wrong. This would stimulate the economy and perhaps allow for more open-mindedness down the road for the profession. By allowing for prostitution to be legalized we would be setting a good example for our children.

I'd be all for it if we could get more 13 year olds involved.
