Why can’t it be legal

which law could enable them to make 20k per month without education?

I also like the assumption that if prostitution became legal, there won't be any protections for women who are forced into it. Apparently you can only have one or the other.

Legalisation equal standardisation and thus rules should apply to it to protect the womens.

It's illegal in most countries because it is considered an immoral and exploitative practice. The criminalization of prostitution is based on the notion that engaging in sexual activities for money is wrong and that it promotes exploitation of humans for personal gain. In addition, legalizing prostitution would likely lead to increased human trafficking and sexual violence as there is no way to regulate the industry and ensure consent of those involved. Ultimately, the practice of prostitution is illegal to protect human rights and safety and to uphold basic standards of decency.

It's to protect women and other at-risk members of the community from selling their bodies and engaging in what they consider degrading work. In other parts of the world, prostitution may be regulated but not illegal, while in some other places, prostitution is completely illegal and criminalized.

Prostitution was meant to be used as last resort for young widows and girls with no fathers.

So, unless if your country got out of war or going through poverty, there is no reason to do it today because women now have rights to work, study and apply for benefits.

So why can't they have the right to charge for sex?

Yes - but when they can work it doesn´t mean that they could make 800 dollars in two hours, or even 3,000 dollars per hour. Of course that´s not the average, but it´s not only about something to escape poverty. Some may do it to finance their studies, as it´s "better" than cleaning the dishes as You earn more money, which You need to afford a home in those cities, as education and housing isn´t for free - and not everyone has parents who just pay everything, because they have an academical degree themselves.

But is that to say that even positive steps are inconsequential? Should people stop fighting for a more balanced society or culture? Should we stop trying to help anyone or lessen the burdens of others?

eexcellent post, really can't refute what you've said, though i would point out, legalizing it would also enable males to do the same, and that's the lens i was viewing it with, so if you only want to deal with the female side of it, that's no worries - it's just, the scope is a bit larger, there.

so why am i still arguing if i prettymuch agree - well, whenever the governments have gotten involved in this stuff, it's always been so poorly accomplished, or accomplished with a hidden agenda which doesn't have the best interests of the people in mind. even in countries where the civilians are treated relatively well, many players in the governments still got paid their 200k salaries when the entire country was shut down due to covid and couldn't work - and they still demanded taxes, and didn't halt utility payments, that's largely how it went.

so i kind of view it as a possible taking these people out of a frying pan and flicking them into a hellscape. it might be opening the gates of hell in more ways than one. people who have made offenses which have them put away for the rest of their lives may be able to achieve more lenient sentences and start to win appeals - and i'd sure hate to see that. we worked pretty hard in my community to uncover some of the worst offenders the world has laid eyes on, and to see them in front of a judge and win leniency due to the laws being changed... oh it'd make me sick lol.

the intention? is really good, and like you said, moving towards something positive. something good that some people might be able to use as a tool somehow...i just. . . i can really see the government *reaaaaaally* screwing this up? yeah. thats basically what i can see. i view governments lately like children with no idea what they're doing, and a billion dollars in their mucky dirt covered fist. eventually the money disappears somewhere in the sandbox, and nothing seems to change, timmy and billy start hitting eachother, sarah is over there bawling her eyes out cause teddy took her toy, and jimmy stomped freddie's sand castle =p things just seem to get more messy lol.

...and i absolutely agree, it exists because there's a market for it. it exists because some people think they can put a price tag on someone else's dignity. that there is a crazy problem. what kind of upbringing do you need to be able to think like that. at the risk of sounding completely offensive, that's my opinion on that one, too =p

And that's how you debate. It just tickles the palate. An exchange of ideas without malice.

Diseases is a big reason. Bigger than conservatism, despite what you'll read here.

It's easier to get regular checkups and treatments with it being legal. Studies show[www.reuters.com] a reduction in disease when it's legalized.

So saying it's illegal to prevent disease doesn't make much sense.

it's fair game everywhere but western countries developed countries


world's oldest profession


but i agree if it becomes legal it'll end up sorta like japan's soapland ideally

at worst same ♥♥♥♥ but now they don't have to hide it.



they should become semi legal and have market competition to basically have the best ones thrive while also policing to make sure they don't undercut the rival companies or brothels in illegal ways.



but the sad part is that hookers usually have drug problems and enabling it will probably have / cause more ODs to happen faster since they can make money faster with less risk.

Please, let's talk in imperial scientific: an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

I'm just tumbling down the prostitution thread - OT style. Rollin', rollin', rollin'...

Do hookers have a drug problem, or do drug addicts tend to be hookers to finance the drugs?

[Raelic]

It's all disgusting.

Much like drugs, I'm not going to vote to enable it.

I'd rather people have aspirations of being an engineer than a prostitute. Here in the US we have more opportunity if you are willing to grab it.

So being a sex worker isn't as needed.

Just find yourself a partner. If you can't get one... work on that. Stop playing video games and surfing forums all day.
