Hey Ladies/Gentlmen. I am doing a presentation on prostitution. It is a college course so i am expecting somewhat of educated answers. Please explain as to what you believe in, are you for legalizing it or keeping it illegal? I know it is legal in Las Vegas but I live in California. So please let me know how you feel and why. Be totally honest because I am not one and I just need this for reasearch statistics LOL Thank you for reading!!
Hopefully this topic will help as well:

It's legal to have sex for free but illegal to pay for it. Seems dumb to me, and I'd go with making it legal. *shrug*

Prostitution is illegal because men/women are paying for it.

^ Yeah, it'll really make a difference with the millions of prostitution topics already out there and what not.
Anyways.
I personally think it should be legalized. That way, the girls get more security, they'll have to pay taxes, everything can be monitored more carefully (since it's legal), and there can be STD/etc prevention. Among a few reasons.

I think you've completely missed the point of why people prostitute themselves.
Yeah, if they were financially stable and a little bit slutty, they can go out and have free sex with whoever they want to.
Unfortunately, the world isn't so shiny for everybody, and some women who don't find it within themselves to work at a legitimate job, resort to using their body as a source of income. It's not as if they
want to have sex with the people that pay for it.
And the men that go to prostitutes? It's a sure-fire way to get laid. None of the work, none of the wooing, they don't need to be attractive... they just have to have access to money and they're getting their sex.

If you're going to call yourself f**king free, it's sort of f**king essential. Legalized prostitution allows for the regulation of business transaction and appropriate licensing - this means frequent medical examinations to prevent the spread of STDs, safe and clean environments for both employee and customer, and a fair percentage of earnings for workers. This is all very good. Not to mention, when you really consider it, it's an important and thoughtful public service. Some people have very serious issues in finding companionship and intimacy - prostitution allows those people to live happier, healthier, and more fulfilling lives (while someone else gets to pay their way through college from it).
There is no good reason that we should criminalize the act of paying for something that we can just as legally give away for free. All we are doing is created criminals, and worse, criminals that create a more dangerous, more expensive, and more bothersome black-market - if we were to legalize prostitution, it would really help a lot of people, save us a lot of money, and make this nation a cleaner and safer place.

Prostitution is something I have no real opinion on. I have never paid for one, and don't plan on it because regular sex with someone you actually enjoy being around is much better.
Also, you don't know what the hooker's original gender is.

I wouldn't want your "real" opinion even if you had one, and I certainly don't want your fake opinion. If you have an
argument, I might be interested... however, if all you care to share with us is an opinion, save it; that's not what the debate forum is for.

at sex. Hmm?

I don't find anything wrong with it. If people want to sell their bodies they should be allowed to. The only problem with prostitution is sometimes women or men get abused by the person in charge of the company or either clients.
I think it should be legal for prostitution, but the government should monitor it to make sure men or women's rights aren't being violated, and that they are healthy and somewhat happy with what they do.

MissFits

It should be legal.
Prostitutes are prone to being attacked because their reluctance to tell the police about attcks. If it were legal a fewer amount of them would be beat up or killed. And, they could make it a part of the law that they get checked for STDs regularly as to help stop the spread.
coconutter
Jul 27 2008, 11:42 PM
Yeah, but the government would rather just ignore the girls being killed, rather than pay tax money to check up on the prostitutes.
MissFits
Jul 28 2008, 12:05 AM
I'm saying people would be less likely to kill them.
They are easy targets because if they get away they more than likely won't go to the police, because they are prostitutes. But, if prostitution were legal they would have no reason not to go the the police, making them less of a target.

Um, are you joking? A better way to stop the spread of STDs would be for people to use adequate birth control. Thats it. And if it is legal, and they are getting screened for STDs, like hell that my tax money is paying for it. Im not supporting prostitution.
