No, I understand that. If I wanted something, and had the chance to have it legally, I woudn't want it to be taken away from me.

Right, because protection is 100% effective Rolling Eyes
Do you know how many prostitutes are raped and abducted every year? ALOT. So you're saying we should continue to let them do that? What about STD's they could transmit? What about the people forced into prostitution by human trafficking?

How are we going to know if someone is willing to do it? If they are being forced to by a Pimp, no one can help her, what if he is controlling her with fear? She can't do anything, then what? She just gets ignored.

It's their own choice, in most cases. But I have to agree with I_worship_tre_Cool, there are pimps who force girls to be prostitutes. But you can't help them.

What? You can't help them? So we should just pretend all the human slaves don't exist? We should just lay back and act like it isnt even happening? Well, that might as well be whats being done about it. They need to be helped. How would you feel if you were being forced to sleep with someone against your own will? That isn't something that needs to be neglected. The people forcing them to need to be sent to jail to rot for the rest of their lives and the girls forced into it need to be helped in starting a new life and given therapy. We can do something about it, but we just choose not to.

But that makse willingness and consent quite a big grey area, doesn't it?
I mean, in a vacuum a person can make that choice and it's quite clear that it is free will.
But when you add in the mechanics of reality, it's not. There's so much pressure and so much influence pulling people in so many directions that the decisions we make are not necessarily what we really want or what's best in the long run, prostitution or otherwise.
So is it REALLY their own choice in most cases?
I doubt it. Not entirely, at least.

There is never a situation in which you "can't" help someone.
Never.

In Belgium, the gouvernment has made a difference. Prostitution in the streets is illegal, but when you go to a "pleasure house", no one has the right to forbid you to not go there.

Kitti, most girls who are prostitutes are illegal in the country. Mostly, they are a victim of humantrafic. Traficants take away their papers and identity and actually, when somebody tries to help prostitutes, they only get beaten up. And this is a circle that will always excist. As Perspectivity wrote, you can't help them. They need to buy themselves out. But mostly pimps raise the price so they need to earn more money and do more prostitution. It's a vicious circle that hardly can be broken.

Raise awarness of the issue, make people see that 21st century slave Trade still exists, write letters to political represenatives for your area (and 1 letter won't work, it helps if you have alot of people writting alot, the person you want to read it might not, but someone will). Just make people know it's there, if it becomes a concern of the people, the government will address it eventually.

right but if they make it legal it will be safer for the girls and they will be able to tax it, and anyway its not all about sex some men and women go there just to be held by some one for however, we will never be able to do away with it so we might aswell make it safer.

That's exactly what I think.

Prostitution is legal over here in New Zealand.
It was made legal about a year ago I think.

No one cares if any of the prostitutes are STD free, or are over 18.

There was a show on a few months back that had an interview with a 12-year-old prostitute, and nothing happened to stop it.

then obviously the law is not keeping a close eye on the situation, and i was talking about safer working rules for the girls and men involved, if they are of the streets and have houses and are regulated and tested regulary shouldnt that be better

that's odd considering the legal age here for sex is 16.

Just because you're tested doesnt mean you won't get them. Not all STD's can be treated and once they contract them, they're screwed. Not to mention the law really shouldnt have to keep an eye on them here, aside from arresting them when they break it. If you're involved in prostitution at your own will, and something bad happens, the only person to blame is yourself.
