Do you have a problem with prostitution?

[Jack_]

Well?

And should it be legalised?

[Shaun]

no and yes, for obvious reasons

[/lazy post]

[Niamh.]

hhhmm I don't know, yes and no like Shaun said lol Obviously I couldn't care less what strangers do with their bodies (if it's their choice) But things like diseases concern me and do make me think it's a bit manky

[Marsh.]

Legalised? No.

[arista]

Well?

And should it be legalised?



Of Course Not.

[Kizzy]

Escort agencies, 'gentlemens' clubs and massage parlours exist... that's a given.
Do I think that the practice of selling sex for money be legalised though no, however I appreciate that whilst it remains unregulated exploitation will continue.

[jackc1806]

I don't really mind it but legalising it may help? Or make if even more common place. It's hard to know and a huge risk imo

Yes look at Helen in Big Brother

Yes it should be, no reason not to. The 'problems' people give as reasons for it not to be legalised (disease etc.) would be greatly diminished or even non existant if it was, as it would be regulated and medical checks would be mandatory for all concerned. Then there is the whole human trafficking business, which would equally disappear.
A lot of cities have brothels as it is anyway, and the police turn a blind eye because it keeps the girls and their 'clients' off the streets. There are also dozens upon dozens of girls that work 'freelance' from their homes, which obviously has its own dangers. If it was legal then violence against these girls would be a hell of a lot less, because the police would be forced to take the girls seriously.

[InOne]

I don't have a problem with it. It's very sad to see the way some of the girls end up though. Completely chaotic lives. There's so many levels of prostitution it's hard to say if making it legal would change it for the most vulnerable ones, they're always going to need a way to feed their addictions.

[Nedusa]

I do have a problem with the way prostitution is run in this Country.

It's the oldest profession in the world so you will never stop it, but it should be legalised because it is open to various abuses. Some women are trapped in a cycle of drugs and prostitution, some are sex slaves and have no voice forced to pay off bogus debts with never ending sexual services. they risk all manner of diseases and are kept in utterly intolerable conditions physically and mentally abused.

At least legalising it would solve a lot of these problems and providing brothels were monitored the criminal gangs would find it harder to make money off these women.

If people want to buy sex and sell sex then there must be safeguards to ensure the safety and well being of all involved.

[smudgie]

No problem with it at all.

About time it was legalised for all concerned.

Get them off the streets and into brothels on out of town trading estates etc.
Let the taxman take his share.
Stops the clients getting done over and keeps the girls/boys safe.
Mandatory health checks every month.


I fancy the job as a madam, if I could keep my face straight that is.:hehe:

[Natalie.]

I don't have a problem and I think it should be legalised as it would solve most problems and keep majority safer

[Ninastar]

I can see both sides

[Vicky.]

Really don't see the problem with it.

And yes, if it was legalized it would be safer, plus we could tax earnings :laugh:

[Verbal]

Really don't see the problem with it.

Legalise weed and prostitution and we'd all be living in golden palaces:laugh:

[Nedusa]

So I guess the consensus is to legalise it... Good !!!

[Shaun]

every time I see this title I like to pretend that Jack_ is asking as if he's a really defensive prostitute :love:

[Ammi]

no and yes, for obvious reasons

[/lazy post]

..another lazy post of no and yes...it would be much safer for the ladies that way and hopefully prevent things like the 5 Ipswich prostitute killings from happening...or from them being hurt in any way...

[smeagol]

The problem with legalizing it is then it becomes easier to get into. and becomes a job.
some girl might be short of cash and think i,ll be a prosi but have no clue how to go about it. she cant just go standing on her local street corner lol
but legalize it with brothels everywhere . well how easy is that job. rather than work at macdonalds people would take the easier option. or just do for cash when stuck as its legal.

then you end up never knowing whos a hoe when they blow. lol

[Firewire]

No problem with it as long as it's safe and diseases aren't being spread

Legalise it? Yes.

[Marsh.]

You must be stood in the middle.

[Achilles]

No problem with it at all. They should make it part of sex education in schools so girls go the high class escort route instead of the drugged up hanging on street corner hooker route. Oldest profession in the world. I believe prostitution should be made legal all over the world and war made illegal. Let the world f *** instead of fight and kill. Lock up the politicians and put the hookers in the white house.

That's too far imo

I don't see a lot of difference between prostitution and some other jobs.

Stripping could be classed as 'selling your body for cash' as the clients are paying to look at your body. Same with playboy models etc. Then you have a masseuse or a physiotherapist who rubs your body for money. I'm not saying it is sexual, but it is physical contact. So if you combine the naked dancers/models job with those, you get nakedness and touching, which is really the basis of prostitution.

If the women in the industry are over 18, and doing the job of their own free will, then I see no problem at all. There are kids on the streets just now who are shockingly young, and if the whole business was legalised and above board, they would not be working in the brothels.

I personally would not like prostitution to be my job, but if a grown woman chooses that as her job, then that is her choice.

On a side note, I also think Marijuana should be legal. There are bigger issues for the police to concentrate on. Wasting time busting someone for half a joint seems like a massive waste of time to me.

I don't understand your logic here... prostitution alludes to sexual acts, dancing can be erotic and provocative but it'd not a sexual act.
Are you saying if a gynecologist examines you it's tantamount to prostitution then?

[Marsh.]

Does your gynaecologist slip you a fiver? :evilgrin:

A gynaecologist is examining you for the purpose of gaining medical information, so not the same.

A masseuse is massaging you for your pleasure/satisfaction. A stripper is taking her clothes off for your visual gratification. A prostitute is providing a sexual service, whether full-on sex, or other forms of sexual gratification.

The point I was trying to make is that a prostitute is still a 'service provider' just like the other jobs mentioned.

Probably shouldn't have put 'physiotherapist' in there as they are rubbing your body for medical reasons also, but you get my overall meaning....

I wouldn't do a nursing job or be a roofer as I personally wouldn't like it, and prostitution is just the same. If you like the job and are happy to do the job, then who am I to judge whether it is right or wrong.

I see the analogy you are making BUT I have to say selling your body for money is a little bit more than a job.

Having sexual intercourse with strangers is about as humiliating as it gets. De-personalising yourself and allowing complete strangers to engage in the most personal and intimate of acts is a bit more than just another job.

IMHO..................... :nono:

Obviously I don't know what you mean, Whether or not people derive a sexual thrill from your work is irrelevant to the fact it's not prostitution in the sense intended by the OP.
If by prostituting themselves you mean using their knowledge or talent to make a financial gain by corrupt means you could apply that to other professions... solicitors, used car salesmen or estate agents.
Personally I wouldn't class dancing, modelling or stripping as prostitution in the way the OP intended as they aren't illegal.

Make prostitution part of the NHS. To pay for it introduce a "hooker tax" that the richest 1% pay for. Make the bankers pay for the wankers.

That is such a naive view. There are married couples old and young who are swingers, doggers, cuckolds and god knows what else. Some people enjoy it.

Whether you like it or not there is a genuine need for legitimate sex workers in this world. For example, imagine you had an autistic 18 year old boy who had all of the emotions a regular 18 year old boy has but was unable to act on it due to being shunned. Where is the harm in having a woman come into the home who knows the problems, is able to deal with them and in turn satisfies the young lad, even if it is just letting him grope her for a bit?

There is even an ex-madam setting up a facility where disabled people can go to meet with sex workers, as well as sites like this (perfectly safe for work, no pictures of anything or even crude language) http://www.tlc-trust.org.uk/

As i've said before in Holland you can get a prostitute medically prescribed to you. There are so many benefits for certain people.

That movie Mask is good with Cher and Eric Stoltz. Cher hires a hooker for her son because he feels all fed up looking like a lion.

I actually totally agree with every word of your post, but I would still maintain that people working in this field have other more altruistic reasons to help provide sexual gratification for people who struggle to find sexual relationships for a variety of reasons.

To them this is not an ordinary job and should never be classed as such, that was the point I was making in my earlier post.
