i think you guys are letting your own fantasies cloud up the reality of prostitution. i bet most of you are picturing this convenient scenario where a young 20-something guy goes in, drops $50 or whatever, lays this supermodel, then carries on his day, no harm, no foul.

does that happen, sure? not at that price, but sure. but how much of it borders on violence? screwed up perverts, treating these girls as nothing more than a piece of meat, which ultimately is what we're talking about here, right? i pay you money, i get to do whatever i want to you, and what i want you to do to me. just lay there and take it!
So a law against prostitution is going to prevent domestic/physical abuse? Show me some stats where physical violance increases in areas where prostituion is legal, otherwise you're just pulling it out of your ass.

In fact, I'm more inclined to believe abuse would be higher when prostitution is illegal. You think some hooker is going to go to police if what she's doing is illegal in the first place? "Hey, I'm a hooker, and some guy paid me to have sex with him, but then beat me up. Help me!" Yeah. okay.

Prostitution has always existed, and it always will. Just because something is illegal doesn't make it go away. But I understand what most of the conservatives here are saying. Prostitution is wrong, it's not good morals, it's degrading and people shouldn't do that.
Listen, just because something is wrong doesn't mean it's not going to happen and guess what, some people want to go out and pay for sex. Right now they have to go pickup some nasty ass crack whore on a street corner.

Don't you think it would be better to have a system like the one in the Netherlands where the hookers are protected?

I would never pay for sex, legal or not. So those of you saying people want it legalized to fulfill their own fantasies are way off track.

First of all most conservatives are the biggset hypocrites i know.
I dont expect them to be Excepting of legalized prostitution.
I do expect a conservative to be out late at night trying get a hooker cause their wife won't sleep with them

What im saying is that legalizing prostitution will cut down on the crime rate.
Religion and personal beliefs need to stay out of it

From what I'm reading.

Don't make it a crime, thus we won't have crime.

For the record I'm not 100% on either side of this.

I think this is good discussion if people keep to facts and keep a level/open mind.
