It's already like that. You blame parenting, but then you default to prostitution again? How does that make any sense? It's either bad parenting or prostitution. Pick one.
Anyway, I would not blame prostitution. Little kids don't see prostitution. They don't know what those women are doing. Instead, I'd blame those Bratz toys, and other media.

Except when their fathers partake in the business when mommy doesn't feel like having sex as often as she used to, especially since he can't be legally penalized?.

What about your mother? :P

For some reason I wouldn't mind as much. She's 52 and deserves some fun.

In some states cheating on your spouse is illegal. What do you think divorce court is for?

That's bad parenting. If a father is having sex with another women where a child can see it, that's bad parenting. That's not prostitution, that's bad parenting. Huge difference.
Watching porn is legal as well. If a dad watches porn in front of his children, you actually blame the dvd? :roll:

What you don't get is that you're assuming that if prostituion is legalized, that the government will let them just go as it is.

They won't. There will be regulations just like every other service establishment.

[QUOTE="Infinite-Zr0"]

Do you guys really think that if prostitution was legalized, the government would just let them go out there and have fun?

There would obviously be regulations put in place like testing for drugs and stds.

Calypto

What about HIV? HIV in the early stages can barely be detected by doctors. By the time the tests identify the disease the prostitute probably already spread it to thirty men who will infect their wives, girlfriends, or other sexual partners.

do the same thing they do in the porno industry.

[QUOTE="H8sMikeMoore"]

one major reason rape happens so much is because of sexual frustration, men who cant get laid. At least this way theyll have legal means to go about it if no women want them. Prostitutes get raped because they cant goto the cops. If it happened at a place of business they can be held down until the cops get there.

Competition would drive them away, also you wont have to worry about disease since its regulated well, just like in Nevada.

crack whores might be around for a bit, but if it were legal whos going to do a crack whore over a bunny ranch girl? Definitely not me.

Gamer4Iife

But if they can't get laid, it's probably because they can't afford a prostitute. Legal or not, it's not going to change that fact. And even if prostitutes can do their thing in a much more secure place, wouldn't the rapist just prey on other women ? That's even worse, if you ask me.

Thats baseless. Some men, even rich dont have good social skills.

You want prostitution to stay illegal so they get raped? Thats pretty disgusting. Also, its not solving anything for "normal women" talk about MORALS though.

[QUOTE="EVOLV3"]I dont see why keeping it illegal is any good, if someone wants to pay money for sex and the other person is willing to take the money and have sex then it should be allowed.Calypto

Guys pretty much pay for sex anyway. You gotta pay for dates, the ring, pretty much everything etc etc

I dont see how this is any worse. Its more honest at least. Keeping it illegal wont stop it either.

Sadly, it's true. I know a few people who will shower a girl with gifts just to get into her pants. I had never really thought about it until I read this thread and I suppose prostitution should be legal. Unfortunatly, most people make the immediate link of PROSTITUTION = SLUTTY WHORES, STD'S AND DRUGS.

And those men are pigs. If they're just marrying women and taking them on dates to have sex then they're exploiting women and betraying their trust.

Also if prostitution became legalized and more prevalent practice in society, how do you think that will affect young men? Husbands? That temptation will always be there. Everytime you argue with your wife, who cares? You can always screw some prostitute in the local whore house. I'm not saying all men would do this, but whose who are on the verge or can't find sex elsewhere because of their looks, attitude, whatever, may take that step towards prostitution. And is that right? Is adultery okay? I certainly don't think so.

We don't need spread the filth on our streets with prostitution.

That would surely even the playing field since women have too much sexual power over men anyway. If they argue with us they c an find sex anywhere. Maybe this will cause people to be more reasonable with each other.

[QUOTE="blazinpuertoroc"][QUOTE="PannicAtack"][QUOTE="blazinpuertoroc"][QUOTE="DeeJayInphinity"][QUOTE="blazinpuertoroc"]uh no...society is disgusting enough. We dont need more STI's being spread and seeing trashy women walking the streets. Its very degrading to respectable woman, for christ sake there not tools for pleasure.blazinpuertoroc

Some of them want to be. And that should be their business, not yours. Additionally, how is that degrading to respectable women? How does that make sense?

because if prostitution is widely legal then most women would feel like worthless peices of meat just for sex then they already do by this pathetic society. Most guys would just be buying and buying women just for sex, i mean how would that make most women feel? Like they only worth being sex tools. Females are already manipulated enough by society thinking they have to look like a model or actress just to be beautiful, then if prostition comes legal and widely popular theyll feel like theyll only feel wanted for sex.

That is baseless speculation. >_>

face it...women already feel like they should be some skinny model just to be beautiful. Imagine if prostitution becomes super popular theyll feel like just to be wanted by men they have to become some sex whore. Sure it may not be 100 percent true but I think making it legal would degrade a societies values.

Not everyone has the same values. People own their bodies. Society does not own the body of a woman or a man. They can do whatever they want as long as they dont hurt anyone else.

Not all women want to be skinny. Infact my ex girlfriend who was naturally very skinny hated it.

im not saying all women want to be skinny, but raise a little girl and expose em to models and stuff theyll like if they want to be gorgeous they have be what they see on TV or magazine. Now imagine if a girl is exposed to seeing prostution on the streets a naive girl would feel to be wanted by a guy they should sell them selves. It mostly comes down to parenting but still I dont think we should make prostitution legal in an entire country. It will really diminish the image. United states of america! " We pay for sex!"

why would they be on the streets? Theyre job would be in a brothel.

Just be a good parent and you wont have to worry about it.

If anything the netherlands has a great social image for being extremely socially liberal. I think thats something we should work on (NOT ECONOMICALLY LIBERAL.)

You're still basing yourself on morals? This day in age all that matters is the economic and medical benefits, which this would bring a lot of.

It's all about the money.

Question, why do you people think it's illegal to get paid for giving sex but if you give it out for free it's ok? And lawl at the people who think little kids would be exposed to it if it was legal. We live in a country (and by we I mean USA) where, IIRC, a BioShock ad was shown during a wrestling match and people tried to sue cuz it was a violent game being advertised to kids. No one would put up with it being on the streets next to day cares if it was legal. And I don't think it would make girls even more insecure. Seeing as it would be something under the covers as opposed to models which cause much more damage to a girl's self a steam cuz they can't really get away from it. If anything, I think they would be a little better off. Having the ability to pay for sex how they want would get a lot of "players" looking for easy sex out of "the game." Weeding out those kinds of guys would make finding a proper one looking for a true relationship a little easier to find.

I absolutely agree that it's bad parenting. And not even in front of the child. The father can still have sex outside of the house but when the mother finds out, the child will still be exposed with the arguments and the divorce and the questions like, "Why isn't daddy living with us anymore." Either way the child is being exposed to prostitution.

And I'd rather have pornography illegal too, but I won't get into that. :P

I find it funny how some people think that if it's legalised then prostitutes will be everywhere. It's not a profession that many women want to get into.

Pornography is the same thing as prostitution, except ones are praised for their work and the others are hated upon.

That already happens. Spouses that are not happy with their relationship go and have sex with others. It doesn't even have to be for money, sometimes it's with a friend, or a relative. How is prostitution going to make that worse? Seriously?

Of course I know that men and women cheat on their spouses all the time. I never said that prostitution would be the main cause for it. I was just providing an argument on how children can be exposed to prostitution even through the home.

And I'm not trying to control people's lives or decisions. They can still have sex with prostitutes, but I'd rather them be penalized for breaking the law. We don't need any more of that in our lives. And making it legal would do just that.

I don't think it should be legalized, mostly for the same reasons I don't think drugs should be legalized.

Something like prostitution couldn't really be easily regulated. It isn't as if these women have a place of business, and I'm sure most of them are in and out of "permanent" addresses rather quickly.

The lawn industry in Florida is an example of how hard it is to regulate a small start-up business. Any person can grab a lawn mower and an old truck, load up some illegals, and go door to door getting business. So I doubt any incease in tax revenue would occur nor would any regulation be truly beneficial, as most prostitutes could easily bypass it.

How many small diners break health regulations daily? It'd be awfully easy for a hooker to skip testing and contract and pass on an STI. It's not as if a "hooker inspecter" is going to go around to every prostitute and check their STI papers.

Children can be exposed to it--that doesn't mean it should be illegal. That means the parent isn't very good. Blame the real cause, not the scapegoat. :roll: Don't tell me prostitution just randomly breaks into your house and happens in front of your kids? When I was young, I didn't get attacked by a prostitution. I was attacked by dogs, and others kids, and by my own parents when I did something bad, but I was not attacked by prostitution. You keep blaming the scapegoat, and that's just sad. I hate it when people don't now what they should be blaming and they just go on blaming whatever they think is easiest. Oh yeah make prostitution illegal. That's going to keep marriages together and functional. :roll:
Yes, you want to control our private lives. You don't like people exercising their rights and doing what they want to do with THEIR bodies. You want to control them and everything they do. It would make you so happy if we just hooked up WiFi antennas to everyone's brains and gave you the controls.

id prefer people to be able to do victimless things and not be put in prison.

Youll never stop prostitution, you might as well make it legal and safer.

YOU dont need anymore of that in your life. OTHERS do.

if you legalize prostitution it would only be allowed in legal brothels so there would be a designated place of business

if you legalize prostitution it would only be allowed in legal brothels so there would be a designated place of business

darkodonnie
Even if it was legal anywhere, as long as you have some kind of standard, it would be better.
If they got monthly certificates or something for following the standards, they would be more likely to get customers because most customers want the sex and not the STIs, right? So as long as you offer some kind of standard, people will go for that instead of the run-down dirty prostitute at the corner in front of the crack house. People would just say "well I have more options, so sorry crack lady, I can't do business with you."

[QUOTE="DeeJayInphinity"][QUOTE="Calypto"]

[QUOTE="DeeJayInphinity"][QUOTE="blazinpuertoroc"]im not saying all women want to be skinny, but raise a little girl and expose em to models and stuff theyll like if they want to be gorgeous they have be what they see on TV or magazine. Now imagine if a girl is exposed to seeing prostution on the streets a naive girl would feel to be wanted by a guy they should sell them selves. It mostly comes down to parenting but still I dont think we should make prostitution legal in an entire country. It will really diminish the image. United states of america! " We pay for sex!"Calypto

It's already like that. You blame parenting, but then you default to prostitution again? How does that make any sense? It's either bad parenting or prostitution. Pick one.
Anyway, I would not blame prostitution. Little kids don't see prostitution. They don't know what those women are doing. Instead, I'd blame those Bratz toys, and other media.

Except when their fathers partake in the business when mommy doesn't feel like having sex as often as she used to, especially since he can't be legally penalized?.

That's bad parenting. If a father is having sex with another women where a child can see it, that's bad parenting. That's not prostitution, that's bad parenting. Huge difference.
Watching porn is legal as well. If a dad watches porn in front of his children, you actually blame the dvd? :roll:

I absolutely agree that it's bad parenting. And not even in front of the child. The father can still have sex outside of the house but when the mother finds out, the child will still be exposed with the arguments and the divorce and the questions like, "Why isn't daddy living with us anymore." Either way the child is being exposed to prostitution.

And I'd rather have pornography illegal too, but I won't get into that. :P

Probably because you're not a guy, IIRC. :P

I don't think it should be legalized, mostly for the same reasons I don't think drugs should be legalized.

Something like prostitution couldn't really be easily regulated. It isn't as if these women have a place of business, and I'm sure most of them are in and out of "permanent" addresses rather quickly.

The lawn industry in Florida is an example of how hard it is to regulate a small start-up business. Any person can grab a lawn mower and an old truck, load up some illegals, and go door to door getting business. So I doubt any incease in tax revenue would occur nor would any regulation be truly beneficial, as most prostitutes could easily bypass it.

How many small diners break health regulations daily? It'd be awfully easy for a hooker to skip testing and contract and pass on an STI. It's not as if a "hooker inspecter" is going to go around to every prostitute and check their STI papers.

But that doesn't necessarily mean the women currently on the streets would abide by that law. Or that a brothel would accept them.

Maybe I'm looking at this from a different perspective than you. Crack addicts aren't going to get a steady job at a brothel. Odds are that their looks alone would negate any interest from a brothel owner. It also appears NV has a rampant escort service industry that isn't regulated like the brothels.

I'm also thinking in terms of it being legalized here in Florida (more specifically Miami) where it just would not work. It doesn't matter what examples from NV you throw at me, I know it would not work in Miami.

I just found a blog by an escort on Google. It's called "Being an Escort." (I'm not linking it). Read it, you may get an idea of why I say regulation is impossible. It states that illegal brothels are becoming rampant in NV.

Their incentive would come from their customers.
Right now, men have no choice but to go with the crack lady. But if they did, where do you think they would go?
The crack lady, or a brothel that's regulated and well-kept?

If the crack lady is charging $10 while the brothel prostitute is charging $100, well... that depends on how horny, desperate, and poor the man is.

If it was legalized. There would be a lot of benefits. Less people on the streets selling themselves. It would be able to be taxed, providing money for the governement for other services. A stricter control on STDs would obviously be enforced, so there would be significantly less risk of transmitting HIV. Less people for the police system to worry about, less people in jail, more space for real criminals. Less of them would probably be using drugs, since you wouldn't have to associate yourself with shady characters who would get you on drugs so they could control you easier. Not to mention the prostitutes wouldn't have to deal with the troubles of having a pimp, who would beat and abuse them. Everything would be signficantly more controlled and monitored making it alot safer for all the parties involved.


Of course the difficulty would be in the transition, because pre-legalized prostitutes would probably be disease ridden drug users. And it would be difficult for them to find other jobs, so they would probably continue to try and sell their bodies, but would have less customers since most people wouldn't want to bother with the risk. What would these people do? Get help, I hope.

The fact that prostitution is illegal is indicative of one of the biggest problems of democracy: that the boneheaded morality of the majority gets legislated. If people want to exchange money for sex, that's a private affair. Why does the government have the right to tell us what to do with our bodies and our money?

I think it should be legalized.

prostitution is already happening, but if it were legal, it would be regulated, so that means the women would get checked for diseases, be in brothels that would not be close to places where children would go, opposed to streets. And yes, it would help decrease our crime rate, since it would be one less thing that is illegal.

even when it is illegal it is still going on alot, so why not make it legal, so at least it will be regulated and more safer?

It may as well be legalized. Escort services have become prostitution services. If it was legal, it could be controlled alot more
