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.

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
a Former Top Hooker

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.

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.

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.

[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

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

[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

..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.

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
