What Sex Workers Want

cowboy
right! and the reason why is men know that women are not afriad to go to police when they are assaulted.
let me say this: PROSTITUTION IS WRONG!

eft i also lived in freidburg west germany for a while and the sex crimes against women was almost nonexistant back then we didnt hear much at all about it there might have been a 1 or 2 in the three yrs i was there but hey i guess the politicians forgot to mention that

cowboy
that is exactly my point

eft very true but legalizingprostitution would do much the same thing as legalizing booze did to prohibition and the mob ,they both died out when they legalized alcohol

if sex was treated as a commoditie instead of a marital priveledge there were be less divorce and more safe regulation as well as health benefits(how many of you married people actuallt went and got an aids test done befor you got married or had your spouse go get an aids test to gaurantee they didnt have a disease when you first slept with them(i not only went and got an aids test i took my current wife and had her get an aids test also befor i would agree to sleep with her ,these days a marriage license doesnt gaurantee you wont get a disease atleast if prostitution were legal even the prostitutes would be getting weekly aids tests and it wouldnt be as akward for regular people to go get one (because of my ex wife cheating on me with several different people and i said people because they were not all guys i was tested every two months for 9 yrs just to be sure

EFT read my lips, shug. My only argument is that legalization WOULD reduce disease. It is NOT a given that it would help with the associated issues of violence and human trafficking, which isn't limited to "sex work". Moral behavior is not at issue here,

"The idea that you give yourself to someone for a set amount of money leaves a bad taste in my mouth."

I bet if the amount of money was substantial enough, that taste would get sweeter for you wouldn't it?

my WIFE says you are correct
lmao

I would not want MY daughters doing it, nor would I want my sons to become boxers. Both are risky jobs that amount to abuse of the practitioners' bodies. However, I would not force my belief system on somebody else. In all likelihood the reason there is slavery associated with prostitution is for the same reasons that organized crime became so big during Prohibition and nowadays because of the war on drugs. Legalize prostitution, control where it can be conducted, be sure they stay clean at their own expense, and tax it.

Ladies,
Look down at your left hand ring-finger. If there is a diamond on it, then you are a prostitute!

and frankly:
if it occurrs in a regulated evironment with weekly testing, is that not safer than what we have now? would that not reduce diseases?
when was the last time you were tested weekly? that would make sleeping with a prostitute SAFER than sleeping with YOU!

nice comments, kayletta

that is the point i was trying to make

any guy anytime for the price of a couple of drinks at a local bar can get laid for free.. that takes some personal interaction like getting to know them etc. the use of a prostitute would be impersonal , just like a service call from a tradesperson .. let them make a buck it will keep them off welfare..by the way im seventy years old and still have never needed there services

etfonedhome,

Prostitution and trafficing are related. Legalizing prostitution would help reduce the trafficing in America because of the availability and access to legal assistance would be more viable. Plus, in a regulated industry it is much harder to conceal more blatant acts. Look at Prohibition. Once repealed, the Mob had to find other avenues in which to make a buck.

LOVE the term "sex worker"! kinda legitimizes it already. Legalize it and we'd better start educating our kids about sex because it's still sex with strangersfor all the wrong reasons. a gamble with body and soul.
it's the diseases, stupid. i don't know where you've been and I only have your word for it that you used protection. eeeew!!!

so legalizing prostitution will do nothing to help those that are being forced into prstitution?

its funny how american woman all want to scream prostitution is wrong and illegal the whole time they are married and getting money from their husbands for the same thing the prostitutes are doing only difference is the prostitutes only have to be paid once for it and the wives get paid every day and if the husband doesnt do what they want then they withhold what?(sex) so basically sex is a commodity and american women dont want to give up their gold mine ,they want to keep prostitution illegal so they can continue to charge the husbands every week for what they might do 5 times that week if he was real lucky and they dont want to have to do without the money for that week that nature plays its role
