Prostitution

Lucifers Angel:

so people do have double standards, you cant say that one group of people shouldnt do that and then say the people who do it beling in mental homes, so yu will willingly take away tehy're way of life?

Im not exactly sure where you got the double standards thing from... I'v made it crystal clear Im against prostitution... that post basically made no sense at all. I said anyone who willingly does prostitution is stupid basically. I also said the people forced into doing it need help and by people doing it at their own will, it's promoting Human Trafficking... which is yet another reason prostitution needs to end. Explain why you called that double standards.

And yes, their way of life is taking other peoples lives away. It needs to end, they are perfectly capable of doing something else, they should be doing it. Just because screwing guys is easier than getting a real job doesnt mean they should do it. Because they are promoting the industry, people are being enslaved and forced to participate in things no one should ever have to do against their will. I find it so sickening that any person can promote that and sleep at night.

in my country is illegal... and i think it's good, because if it was legal, it'd be like in any corner a prostite,, and that it's a bad example

You do realise the irony that in Mexico, prostitution is as common as tequila and that sex tourism makes up quite a large bite of the local economy. Whether it is illegal or not, seems not to bother the actual prostitutes.

In countires where prostitution of legeal there is less chances of rapes and assaults, health checks are given every week to the ones who are regeistered and it saved some poor woman who is only making money the way she knows how to from being beaten black and blue.

The brothels are legeal which makes it better for their safety.

Alot of people will say they deserve they are nothing but whoars, no they aren't the oldest job in the world is in fact prositiution. So think before you lot act.

My opinion is that if a man/woman wants to have sex for money, then it is their choice, but the prostitute should feel safe.

If I get a million dollars every two weeks, i'll be happy to sell myself and that's how much they get.

A lot of the time they can't actually get a real job, and the only way they can make money is to go into prostitution. It's not like these people come out of school and say hey, I'll go and shag a bloke for twenty quid, then I can go to topshop and get some new jeans.


I don't really agree with prostitution, but there needs to be some sort of help for girls who are on the game, maybe get them to do courses in some type of work, because if they get some education in a field of their choice, then they've got more chance of getting a 'real job'.


But, if their clients dont have them to go to, then they're gonna go and get what they want from someone else...and that could lead to rape and stuff, so it's a bit of a nasty cycle really.

You cut out the rest of my post, that part was aimed at those who do it by choice and don't consider how their actions affect others around them, such as the girls who are forced into the industry.

So it's of no concern to you that in doing that kind of work you could contract the cancer strain of HPV, and possible die from it? Or even herpes?
Or that you could die because some person would rather kill you than pay you for your services?
You'd REALLY be willing to just drop whatever job you have now to go and most likely get beaten, killed, or infected with a deadly disease for a million dollars?

I'm sorry but I really don't see any logic in that.
But, to each their own I guess.

That's why I think prostitution should be legal.
Then there would have to be a health code and pimps wouldn't be necessary anymore.

Oh, you actually have point there.

Hmm. I'm sort of undecided on the legality of it. I don't think it should be legal, simply for the facts that if it was, imagine how many more people would be infected with diseases, and how it would affect those who are related to the prostitutes. I'm sure no mother or father would want to see their daughter or son die at age 25 because they became infected with AIDS while being a prostitute.
But since you brought up the protection idea, I sort of think it should be legal. BUT, only for the protection of the prostitutes. That's really the only reason I can agree with it being legal.

just to let you know it aint allways prostitutes who carry STI's it can be the punter just as much. so dont blame just one group

Do you think legalizing it would just make all the pimps go away? I have to disagree because pimps aren't necessary now, but they are still there. Putting codes and regulations to make things better is an overly idealistic solution and it won't work. It isn't legal now, it isn't suppose to happen at all, but it still does. Girls are still being sold into 21st century slavery and forced to sell themselves. I honestly couldn't care any less about the girls who do this by choice, if something happens to them because they chose to become involved in this industry they get what they deserve. Im concerned about the girls who think they have no other options to take care of their kids, they have other options, they just can't see them. Im concerned about the girls who are basically human slaves. Legalizing prostitution will only make their situations worse and they are the ones who need help.

You talking to me?

Oh no, don't get me wrong. I'm not blaming JUST the prostitutes. That'd be like saying it's only homosexuals who spread AIDS....I'm not that closed minded or stupid enough to believe something that outrageous. I know that almost everyone has the potential to spread diseases. I contracted a severe STD from my current boyfriend. And he's not a prostitute.
So don't misunderstand me, I know it's not one group. It can be anyone.

I saw a documentary on that. It was pretty terrible, to tell you the truth.

But it seems to me that no matter whether it's legal or not, prostitution is always going to be around, and be a very successful business.

no shit, it was the very first profession on Earth....so yeah, ain't going away soon

If it's gonna be legal at all, prostitutes should be registered and checked for STD's often enough, so at least there some kind of protection there..unless that's what you're talking about. I don't really know.

Here in New Zealand I think, I think, that's how the system works. Because here in NZ it's legal. And frankly I'm glad - the sex industry will flourish whether it's legal or not. It's a profession that was present in the Roman Empire, the Renaissance period, all the way till now. I'm not saying the situation is perfect now, but at least some action has been taken to protect both the prostitute and the client. Any prostitute who doesn't sign up for regular health checks is just plain stupid.

And the most hilarious thing yet is something I heard in Law class. A class was given the issue of the legalization of prostitution to research and debate, and some guy came back to argue for it with the argument that prostitution is in fact a very natural thing, and occurs in the animal kingdom too. Apparently, female squirrels (or chipmunks, the teacher wasn't sure when she retold it) accept nuts or whatever it is they eat as trade for a healthy boink fest with males.

If you've got the goods, might as well benefit from them
