The Never Ending Debate on Prostitution Options

[fameONE]

The title alone should speak for itself.

From time to time, I'll turn on my digital cable box in the midst of my insomnia to find something erotic in nature, or just downright kinky on the major movie channels. Last night, at around 2am, I flip on HBO and found myself fixated on a documentary following the business and girls of the Bunny Ranch in Nevada. I had never even heard of a legal brothel so my jaw dropped. Along with the entertainment, I went along watching this hour long show attempting to morally justify someone's pastor concealing his identity and helping out their business. Being that this country is run by the moral majority, I still tried to way the pros of a possible decriminalisation on a wider scale.

Already there are brothels run legally all over Nevada; Las Vegas (of course), Reno, Carson City, Beatty, Hawthorne, Winnemucca, Battle Mountain, Elko and Wells. If its already legal there, don't you think its just a matter of time before its legal across the country? Imagine driving up the highway and seeing whorehouses instead of XXX Megaplexes.

So, I ask all of you. Do you think its wrong? Or do you think that in this free country a woman should be allowed to sell her body for cash.

oh, well i didnt know sorry, but thanks for leading me to a porn site now my parents can kill me... but that site was for the whole state of Nevada, i dont know if it said brothels were legal in Clark County, because they arent.

CLICK HERE and see they arent...

"Under Nevada law, any county with a population of less than 400,000 is allowed to license brothels if it so chooses [1] (). As of January 2005, Clark County (which contains Las Vegas) is the only county in Nevada with a population of over 400,000, but Washoe County will soon reach that point as well [2] (). Incorporated towns and cities in counties that allow prostitution may regulate the trade further or prohibit it altogether."

I also found this on the 'weekly checks' you mentioned...

"State law requires that registered brothel prostitutes be checked weekly for several sexually transmitted diseases and monthly for HIV; furthermore, condoms are mandatory for all oral sex and sexual intercourse. Brothel owners may be held liable if customers become infected with HIV after a prostitute has tested positive for the virus (NRS 041.1397 ())."

Apologies on the website.

Still, the issue stands that there are legal brothels in your state and there is the possibility of this becoming a widespread epidemic across the country in the seedier parts of major cities or on the side of major interstates.

As for the weekly checks, don't you think that there's going to be someone to break the rules? All it takes is one f*ck up and there's a virus going around.
