Should prostitution be legalised?
 
Well.

Joelle. 19-04-2013 02:10 AM

Yes, the same with drugs within reason. People do it regardless so it can't be any worse if it does become legal.

Jack_ 19-04-2013 02:12 AM

Yes. Then it can be regulated. And if people want to pay for sex, that's their choice.

Jords 19-04-2013 02:33 AM

No.

Omah 19-04-2013 02:54 AM

No

Shaun 19-04-2013 03:23 AM

Yeah... I just don't understand why it's such an issue... if it's regulated and trafficking is eradicated then it's completely fine. It's two adults exchanging goods.

Making it illegal takes it down very dark and untraceable routes, and we're facing smuggling, drug addiction (prostituting themselves to feed the habit) and rape.

Just another excuse to say "look at how better Europe are than us", really.

..prostitution has always been been described as 'the oldest profession', so it's not going to go away or anything..after the Peter Sutcliffe murders and more recently, the 5 females that were murdered in Ipswich, I think so much more should be done to protect these ladies...it's ok saying, oh these are bad people that do these things and put them in prison etc..but that does nothing to protect them from another bad person coming along and harming them...to me, that's just ignoring the situation and in way, treating them just as badly because not helping to make their environment safer doesn't put much value on their lives....

Ramsay 19-04-2013 04:23 AM

Yes

Ramsay 19-04-2013 04:28 AM

The fact its illegal is just silly...its going to go down no matter what..like shaun said, at least if its legalised the trafficking will be gone

Ammi 19-04-2013 04:31 AM

..yeah, I agree..and especially with child prostitution Karl..

Ramsay 19-04-2013 04:47 AM

Well yeah, child prostitution should be illegal no matter what

Ammi 19-04-2013 05:09 AM

..also, I know the government could argue how difficult it would be to protect them because these ladies put themselves in danger by the very nature of what they do..but then, they could say the same about female police officers and yet if they were constantly the targets for rape, violence, murder etc, the way that prostitutes are, then I would imagine that procedures and steps to protect them more would be addressed as a priority...I understand that it would be hard to remove all dangers involved in prostitution but these ladies don’t seem to be given any priority whatsoever and yet they are constant victims of violence...

AnnieK 19-04-2013 05:14 AM

If it were legalised it removes the seediness of the profession, the ladies come out of the shadows as it were and stop having to put themselves in danger by going in cars, down dodgy black alleys etc and therefore would immediately become safer.

Ninastar 19-04-2013 05:46 AM

yeah, if it's safe.

Jesus. 19-04-2013 06:55 AM

Of course it should, but there should be minimum standards for hotness.

Nedusa 19-04-2013 06:58 AM

More Tax revenue...!!!!

thesheriff443 19-04-2013 06:59 AM

this subject was used at a group discussion for big brother.

joeysteele 19-04-2013 07:47 AM

It isn't something I personally approve of but I would say it should be,yes.
It may better protect the women who engage in it and so be a great deal safer,also removing the harrassment too of them by the Police.

GypsyGoth 19-04-2013 08:10 AM

Being illegal it only benefits criminals. So yep I think it should be made legal.

Roy Mars III 19-04-2013 08:13 AM

it should be legalized but I do not think that will change anything for the better. There will still be 'pimps' who run the business and the same type of drug use. Look at the porn industry

Exactly this.

Livia 19-04-2013 09:52 AM

It should definitely be legalised. It if was, it could be more regulated and safer for the women.
