The Never Ending Debate on Prostitution Options

[fameONE]

I agree with you whole-heartedly. I just was getting a bit irritated so I said something sarcastic out of spite.

[chippy]

most pros out there are mommas that r jus tryin to put food in their kids mouths but nowasays with these std's and whattnot its gotten to the point where its not like u can keep track of it that much anymore so pros gotta b arrested for this stuff cuz it aint safe for the general public

[kryzcoak47luv666]

George Carlin, "Why should it be illegal to sell something that's perfectly legal to give away?"

True ^^^ (All Hail GEORGE CARLIN.. that man is a comic genius)

Anyways I do believe it should be legalized already, in our economy its so hard to make a decent living so if a woman (or man) is willing to seel their body, I really don't see the problem, as long as the person is an adult, child prostitution is a no-no.

I see is just the same as stripping, and most strippers become prostitutes, they just need the money, and I can't blame them for that, some have kids to feed.

and for the above comment, a lot of prostitutes insist on condoms, because they know the dangers, and about the general public? How do you deem it not safe? It like buying a CD with a parental advisory sticker and then complaining that the CD has swear words, you are aware of the risks when you pay for sex, and if you mess around unprotected your problem.

its their body; they haev their own choices.

Ultimately, thats what it comes down to, right? I know I started this thread, but I must say that the point isn't really being argued anymore

[XoJennaoX]

I hope it never becomes legalized. I see enough of it done illegaly as it is. Who knows if it became legalized how many young girls would quit their jobs as waitresses or cashiers so that they can make "the big bucks".... maybe to pay for college? especially nowadays with crazy tuition fees. Then it is pretty much downhill from there...they lose theirselves/respect to the business, never to get a decent job again.....because prostitution looks real good on any resume, that is the legal kind of course

[*iNyCxShoRT*]

I think that it's the own woman's fault for being so foolish, i would want to have it illegal but then if i think about it again. Maybe this is the only way for some woman to make money o_O well it's a free country so im not sure.

[rOckThISshYt]

I personally do believe it's wrong. But the debate is about more than what I personally believe. It's about the truth.

I do believe that a woman should be aloud to do whatever they want with their bodies. Period. If that means selling their bodies then sure, why not? Right??

Wrong. Prostitution can lead to the spread of many STDs of all natures. Risking people's lives for a petty one-night stand that you have paid for is just plain immoral. Period.


To sum it all up, yes. I do believe it's wrong.


I would like to comment about iNyCxShoRT's post. Although I do agree that the America is suposedly a "free country." But even freedom should have some limitations when it can endager the lives of so many people.

Bump.

[jesusisthebestth...]

I remember having this debate in a government class not too long ago. It seems like prostitution has always been legal in Nevada. I'm surprised that it's legal because I think it would create a downhill slope toward the legalization of other things, such as marijuana then crack then meth then heroin and so on and so forth.

I don't think prostitution will be made legal across the U.S., but then again there are lots of forms of prostitution that the federal government cannot control, for example: what about the women who sleep with wealthy men so they can live a nice lifestyle, drive nice cars and wear expensive clothing. That's prostitution, but nothing can be done to stop it.

pimpin' ain't easy

[fameONE]

pimpin' ain't easy

I disagree, sir.

It definitely is.

Know a lot of niggaz livin off of prostitution
Pimpin ain't dead, it just moved to the web
Bitch ain't gotta hit the track, ain't gotta give no tricks no head
Ain't got to give no tricks no pussy, just cameras and screams
Easiest money you can get, it's the American Dream

What's the difference?

Porn's legal so I think prostitution should be.

I mean, in the end, someone is getting paid to have sex with someone.

Because porn = prostitution.

I don't think there's anything wrong legally w/ whoring yourself out. Your body, you should be able to do what you want. If you choose to have sex w/ a hooker and you get AIDS, that's on you. The govt should butt out of our every day lives.

"The bitch ain't gotta be no streetwalker to have a pimp."
The BangBros might as well have purple suits.

Sex sells and the economy, overall, will benefit from it. The industry should be maintained to a standard and concentrated to a specific area. If I was into that sort of thing, there is a whorehouse in jogging distance of the main gate. Why? Because Japanese people aren't bent out of shape about a woman selling her body.

If prostitution was legalized, i think the hos would have better protection from the government, and they wouldnt get abused by A Pimp Named Slickback.

BITCH, YOU'VE GOT 45 SECONDS!

....44....43....42...(etc)

Look at this way, free health care to the whores coupled with some workplace protocol, and the burners could be out of a job. So the only women you'd have sex with, is just your college student paying for tuition, or "hoe-ass-gold-diggin-ass-bitch" as opposed to walking disease.

[pandora]

Yah. Daily checkups/testing would be required which would in turn decrease the spread of stds

[fameONE]

"Bitch, I don't give a f**k if its snowin', I want you out there hoein'. This is a muthaf**kin' binness!"

Any business, no matter what it is, needs to be handled professionally. From McDonald's to coke deals, and IBM to strip clubs, without the professional aspect, the business will fail.

The black market is very lucrative though. Not a complete success, but definitely not a failure. In the very least, there is certainly enough monetary gain to inspire people to hide smack up their ass in condoms.

And, to be a bit more on point: 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 find 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).

Beautiful.

What do you think prevents the US Government from hopping on this gravy train?

[NoSex]

What do you think prevents the US Government from hopping on this gravy train?

Religiosity, the moral right, politics, and f**king old people. Just about the same sort of reasons that The Drug War will never end. These people have created such a culture that believes and finds unity and strength in the moral crusades of those things they perceive as icky and scary. It would take a lot of balls for a politician, elected of the people, to challenge any social mores or norms.

Oh, don't forget the patriarchal fear of the strength of women. White old men hate the fact that women can love sex and, even more so, freely choose to take a career path that involves them making money off of this love.

You do realize that a lot of porn is stimulated sex, right? I don't even think they do hard core inserts anymore. (Don't ask me how I know that term. Hahaha)

See, that sounds perfectly reasonable to me. I'm not sure if these services would get taxed though. I imagine they somehow would if Uncle Sam has his hand in it. *snigger*

We are a prude nation, there's no denying that. And you've hit the fear of women loving sex right on the nose. Sex is a powerful thing and if women actually have a say in compensation for sex, it would be a scary thing indeed to most older men. Of course, I'm sure many of these older white men have no hard time whatsoever seeking these services illegally.

It feels as though I've been too far removed from the United States' pace of life, because as I read your response, I said to myself, "oh yeah, I forgot about that." The more you restrict someone from making such a decision, the more it becomes desirable and the more people will fight to bring about change. The American mindset of "apple pie in the window," and white picket fences, should be crushed like a roach under a sledge hammer. Americans have individual views and fantasy of living the dream, which, of course, throws these 1950's moral ideals out of the window.

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.

I think it should be legalized. On the one hand, it may be degrading to women and it is something that is very dangerous, but of course there is another side to this. Some women unfortunately don't have the skill set that it takes to obtain a normal minimum wage job. Instead of trying to hustle or what not, they sell themselves on the street. I think that the prostitution game is the biggest hustle ever. I for one would not be upset if they legalized it, as I believe that people have a right to make ends meat anyway they choose. Who are we to judge whether somebody is doing it right or wrong.
