Why isn't prostitution legalized?

[rightwinger]

I'd like to see our universities offer degrees in Prostitution

Too many self taught amateurs in the ranks. A woman should have to learn the trade before she can proudly declare ...I am a Prostitute

It is not as easy as it seems and many would flunk out. I imagine there would be a lot of homework and the exams would be brutal

But in the end you can achieve a "Masters in Prostitution" or a "PhD in Prostitution"

Yes, they have a prostitution degree as well. It's called a law degree.

Prostitution is the worlds oldest profession. They deserve to be threated as professionals

I agree. I prefer professional women to amateur women, every day of the week.

That is why we need to have our universities give degrees in Prostitution
If they can give degrees in Law, they can do it in Prostitution. Prostitutes are more respected than Lawyers

I am a liberal and I see a huge revenue the government and business can be earning earning by making Prostitution legalized. I think keeping it illegal is doing more harm then good.

I am a big fan of HBO's 'Cat House' and I think a lot of the problems with prostitution today could be eliminated by legalizing it and allowing brothels. Nevada should not be the only state, but many states should legalize it. Safer environment for the girls, you take the pimps out of it, the girls get tested for diseases.

I also think a lot problems with prostitution could be reduced by allowing more strip clubs, they are safe alternatives for a lot lonely men... and I will admit a lot of truck drivers like to go to strip clubs, I am a truck driver. When men are not given the alternative because there are no strip clubs close by then they resort to more dangerous options. The clubs also give a lot young women great paying jobs and help boost the economy in the cities they are in.

Unfortunately in Republican states the conservatives try their best to discourage strip clubs or put in crazy laws that will make no girls not to work there. 10-foot no-contact rule, no alcohol allowed if girls dance nude, pasties they have to wear so are never truly topless dancing... Crazy Republican laws

Prostitution is legal, it's called porn.

Those wanting to hire a prostitute need only to film it then poof, it becomes art and everyone is happy.

That is EXACTLY what hubby said

So, let's say it's a woman's body to do with what she wants....what's wrong with using it to make money via sex....seems strange when it's legal to destroy a human life....

A basic income is what, "privateering" is about.

It's a no brainer. I never thought about it but my husband brought this up to me and it makes perfect sense, especially in light of what is already legal in the porn industry

Ask your husband if he'd be okay with a brothel setting up shop in your neighborhood or next to his place of business, not to mention having his taxes increased to pay for the high costs of regulating it and increased costs of policing all the attendant negative consequences.

When it comes to legalized prostitution one of the largest hurdles is the "Yeah fine do it but not in my back yard" syndrome, the same problem that's been faced by adult bookstores and strip clubs only to a more extreme degree.

Someone had mentioned zoning the legality of it. I'm not expert on state law making so I'm not sure what is possible. I would not mind having it near my house or place of work as long as it was discreet. I mean, there are "massage parlors" everywhere.... not any different

It's not just local laws ("zoning") that you have to deal with, it's the State (and in some cases the County) as well, the challenge is that unless you're willing to foot the costs for VERY tight regulatory enforcement (which is expensive) then there is a strong possibility that what you'll end up doing by inviting brothels into your neighborhood is de facto inviting increased crime and blight with it.

It's a risk that so far most States, counties and cities across the country aren't willing to take and the only ones that have (here in Nevada) are very small, remote communities that have come to rely on it to support their tiny local economies and have (over many decades) learned to manage it.

Personally the idea of legalized prostitution doesn't bother me in the least bit, however I don't want to wreck the safety or aesthetics of my community or pay higher taxes to see it happen, so have at it folks, just NOT IN MY BACK YARD.

I don't even care about legalizing prostitution. It's pathetic to pay a woman to have sex with you. But to pay an extra $100 for a FULL massage? I can get behind that. And masseuses don't have to do it. But when I see an add that they give FULL body massages then I'll know which person to schedule with.

No dudes.

Nevada brothels are not on the Vegas strip. They are many miles outside of town
People to not like nudie bars set up next to their business but they are still zoned for "the other side of the tracks"

Who cares what goes on behind closed doors?

That's because Prostitution is not legal in Clark County.

It maybe legal in Nevada, but not Clark County and I would assume
not legal in whatever County, Reno is in.

It's set up like that so that the Hotels can control it (Get a piece of the action,
plus protect their guests)

Those gals pay the hotels and the hotels let them roam, but they must
treat the guests properly or the Hotels will turn them into the law.

Prostitution is big business in Nevada and the best way to control it
is by making it illegal in the Big gambling cities.

They cater to the Hotels. They bust prostitutes working the streets,
to drive them into the hotels, where they won't be bothered by the law
so long as they conform to what the Hotels want.

I'm serious. There is this massage therapist at the dog park. She's hot. I want to get a massage but I want to get a FULL body massage. Why is that illegal? Its just a hand.

 

[Bonzi]

I don't see how they can prosecute or enforce that. It's part of the body and if a mess is made, so be it.....

Well, that's easily controlled with zoning laws.

Completely inaccurate, Hotel-Casino Management on the strip, downtown and off strip do not tolerate prostitution in any way shape or form, that being said, it's difficult to control on property given the nature of Las Vegas ("party town") and the fact that prostitutes working Vegas hotels are sophisticated enough to know how to keep a very low profile (otherwise they have really short careers).

It's not tolerated by Las Vegas law enforcement and it's not tolerated by any reputable hotel/casino and contrary to popular myth prostitution isn't any more rampant in Las Vegas than in any other big city where you have lots of tourists.

Can you find it here in Vegas if you want it? sure but if you partake you're not only risking getting arrested (both the LVPD and hotel-casino management take a VERY dim view of it) you're also risking getting rolled or worse (especially if you're a tourist).

The one thing you were correct about is that it's illegal in Clark County (which is were Vegas is located) because the State allows the Counties to make the legality decisions while the cities still retain zoning rights within their limits.

Imagine the pride of being the parent or sibling or child of such a highly educated person!

 

[EvilCat Breath]

Prostitution will never be fully legalized. For one thing it leads to bizarre circumstances like young women being denied unemployment benefits because they have refused employment as a prostitute. It will never be fully legalized as a taxed and regulated industry. It is impossible to control.

Fortunately with the invention of sex robots human prostitutes will go the way of the dodo bird. A robot brothel opened in Ireland and ended local prostitution. Not to mention, absolutely sanitary.

 

[deanrd]

Why isn't prostitution legalized?

It is. People that work for Trump prostitute themselves out every day.

 

[NightFox]

Prostitution will never be fully legalized.

Umm.. it's already fully legalized, taxed, regulated and well controlled in parts of Nevada, Germany, the Netherlands, Mexico, parts of Australia just to name a few.

That being said, just because it works acceptably in some places doesn't make it a good idea for all places nor does it mean that the costs don't outweigh the benefits.

You need a superior argument in any superior court.
