what do the folks on SH think, should prostituition be legal, my view is why not, if people want to pay for this service why not, at least if legal like Holland it would take the stigma, and clean it all up. and then like everything else the government will be able to tax it.
not sure what they would call the tax though cant be VAT could be the Cummin Tax, what do you all think it should be called???

A reporter would probably know that prostitution IS legal.
From a good faq on the subject: "While prostitution is technically legal, there are a number of restrictions which can make it difficult to work legally. Brothels, streetwalking and kerb-crawling are illegal, but there are no prohibitions against a girl working solo from her home. More than one girl in an apartment is considered a brothel, however, and would be illegal. There are a few co-ops in which a group of working girls gets together and rents a flat, then they take turns working one day each. This falls within the boundaries of the law."

What he said above. Spot on. Sex for money is legal
To repress prostitution as this country does is to supress women.
Men are allowed and encourage to use their natural ttributes like strength for financial gain, so why should women not be allowed to exploit their natual strengths??
If theres a buy why should the sale be illegal? What happened to free trade?

ellismay, tall & hairy, are you saying cant ask opinion based questions now then, cos that makes you a reporter or a policeman, do you really think its so important, that would ask you them sort of things, sure a good reporter would do his own proper research not sit on here asking people( probably a good percentage are not even genuine) questions based on peoples opinions, and do you really think your opinion is that worthwhile.
Sorry to the genuine people im not trying to offend you, and as been some good answers given, and I have learnt something from some of the anwers, and asking questions is always a good way to learn!! suggest some people should take that in also!!!
And grow up a little.

and do you really think that your opinion is that worthwhile
If people's opinions here are not worthwhile, why ask so many questions?
funny way of trying not to offend people if you ask me, ooo but then your not asking cos my opinion probably doesnt count for that much either

Calm down !!!! A lot of people are very suspicious at the moment. dont get worked up its not that important, there are a few worse things you could be accused of - not many but a few!!!
For my part I think a reporter would be looking for quotable souces!!
Its not illegal to pay groups of women (or men) to have sex and film them doing it.
Essentially they're still being paid for having sex so I don't see the distinction.
But apart from that, all 'mainstream' employment is the state being paid for the use of one's body, be it to manual work or more cerebral things. Working in any industry is the selling of something you've got to someone who wants to buy.
The ridiculous situation at the moment is that ALL employees are protected by law. While prostitution, brothels etc remain outside the law then all those working within that part of the sex trade will not have any protection from unscrupulous employers - its about time there was a pragmatic recognition of the way things ARE and not the way society (based on outdated religious and political values) thinks they should be.
Until this happens the women working as prostitutes will continue to be vulnerable and unprotected (as well as untaxed and unpensionable).

Thats one I can't answer Foxy... A lot of it is still exploitation, most likely because the laws drove it underground in the way they got applied. Personally I think the laws need re-writing and we need licenses.
Then you can have checks and balances, health screening, tax (yeah had to come in there), but also protection against abuse. If you not got the ID you can't do the clients.
Once business in there and legitimate brothels are up and running the days of the bloke running a few girls he conned into coming here will be numbered.
Jameson:
No offence intended if you really just searching deeper threads and some discussion I will welcome that, honestly. Just had me concerned, I take it back however as you obviously are genuinely interested in your threads. Please accept an apology for any offence given.

Or put another way.......... "Why shouldn't women be allowed to exploit men's natural weaknesses". Now that would never happen.........would it????

Indeed, as one porn producer (female) put it:
"We are not exploiting women, we are exploiting middle aged men, with credit cards..."
yes prostitution is legal guys,what i tried and failed to say in my last post,was the link between prostitution and drugs,the evil pimps and pushers who control these girls,we need to break this link,and to do that in my opinion is to legalise drugs aswell,sgt bilko can i borrow your helmet,after this post i think i might need it

Not sure about the licenses thing!! I know what your driving at, the hygeine etc, but why should people have to have licenses to use their own body?? Smacks a bit of big brother for my liking and theres quiet enough of that in this country already!!
Yes I know Foxy, but then again it not unusual in many jobs, taxi drivers have a license they purchase as do a number of other professionals. In a situation where you want to look after people I cant see another way to get the exploited women out of there.
In my opinion the licenses would not so much be for the women (although they would hold them) more a way of controlling brothel owners. If they included regular checkups to stay valid, it gives the girls an escape route as they are seen by a health professional...
If the Police check on a place and the girls are un-registered, it the owner I would prosecute, not the girls.
Quote by wewantu2
answer to your opinion based question
yes prostitution should be made legal as should some certain recreational drugs,then maybe we could get rid of the pimps and thieves who make there life hell
freedom of choice for all(just our opinion guys)
Have to agree with you guys......the police should deal with the pimps!!!

As I said I know exactly what your getting at, but do you think the existing licenses, like those for taxi drivers actually work, or are they just another money reaping venture on behalf of our wondreful goverment?
Certainly if the license fee was high it would mean that the girls would need a fincial backer, hence we are back where we started!!

In perfect world I would make the licenses free, the purpose is health screening and abuse management, not control.

We're all auditioning really on its an its a lottery.
The idea of selling or buying a version - faked or otherwise - of THIS beautiful thing of all things is a tricky one.
I hate the term used to title this thread - even with a missing T
The women themselves don't deserve that title,whatever the reason is that they do what they do.
But,as ever,the posts on this thread show much understanding and compassion,all you'd hope for from here,of all places.
True foxy, there no perfect solution, end of day an attractive girl would prob be put through the license process by an establishment. In that way she gets a number of opertunities to back out.
Unlicensed girls working alone could be exempt, like current system. So you get ability for larger scale companies to clean up while not supressing the home worker? Could that work??
