How do you feel about legal prostitution?

Question

I'm from California where prostitution may be legal by the end of this year. My business is based here in Nevada and I've met a new girlfriend at a local club and she works at one of the legal brothels here.

She's a great lady that is also pursuing her education in the marketing department. We haven't had s*x and she doesn't sell herself on the side. Personally I think that prostitution should be legal everywhere.

How do you feel about this?

Answer 1

I believe it should be legal too, for it doesn't seem like a serious crime, but then it would have horrible downsides. A hooker could have HIV/AIDS, and she could purposely give her costumer AIDS, then get paid for it. That isn't fair, isn't it? Condoms don't always work 100% because even if a little sexual fluid touches your skin, you can contract the disease.  AIDS test results take too long, and I DOUBT a hooker would wait before doing her job. Therefore, I believe prostitution should remain illegal, or else nearly every American guy would contract AIDS.

Answer 2

I think it would be a good thing for the government to do. They know it's going on anyway, so that way they could tax it and regulate it. Maybe they could even protect the girls/guys doing it, and make it a safer thing.

Answer 3

I have to agree. what a woman does for a job and who she is a a person are two separate Life's. Good for you for seeing the difference.

Answer 4

Actually, I'm more in line for a decriminalization of prostitution everywhere, instead of legalizing it.

My reasons for believing so are outlined here:

Answer 5

If a person as such little self esteem and self love to sell their bodies, then let them do it. I'M not gonna be the one coming out of the Dr. office HIV positive.

Answer 6

I agree with You.

At one end of the legal spectrum, prostitution carries the death penalty for third-time offenders in the Sudan;[6] at the other end, prostitutes are tax-paying unionised legal workers in Hungary[7] as well as the Netherlands, where brothels and advertising businesses are legal (however, prostitutes must be at least 18, while the age of consent is 16 in other contexts). The legal situation in Germany, Switzerland (where the issue of legal age is a source of avid dispute, some insisting that one can legally be a prostitute as of one's sixteenth birthday, other maintaining it is eighteen), and New Zealand is similar to that in the Netherlands (see prostitution in the Netherlands, prostitution in Germany and prostitution in New Zealand). In the Australian state of New South Wales, any person over the age of 18 may offer to provide sexual services in return for money. In Victoria and Queensland, a person who wishes to run a prostitution business must have a licence. Prostitutes working for themselves in their own business, as prostitutes in the business, must be registered. Similarly, the state of Nevada in the United States allows regulated brothels, though certain counties and cities within the state have passed laws making them illegal. Individual s*x workers are not required to be registered or licensed. In some countries the legal status of prostitution may vary depending on the activity; in Japan, for example, vaginal prostitution is against the law while fellatio prostitution is legal, as women who perform fellatio for money are not considered prostitutes in Japan

Answer 7

I think it should be legal only if they come with papers stating that they are STD free, only in designated brothels which require this to be safe and everyone to use condoms, then I wouldn't have a problem with it, its the ones who go around spreading STDS to Innocent women who's husbands have a cheating problem or to men who just want to have a good time... whatever as long as its safe the women should be able to do this if they please, I still think they are s***s and whores but, I am not to tell someone what they can and can not do for a job.

Its better to make it legal and safe thats pretty much all. Be a safe w***e.
