New Bill Would Decriminalize Prostitution in Colorado

Sponsors of the measure argue that sex work reform is a statewide concern, and hope that escort bureaus and massage parlors will offer more protection.

Colorado could become the second state in the country to allow prostitution if a new bill just introduced at the state legislature is successful.

Exchanging physical sexual favors for money isn’t explicitly outlawed by the federal government, which largely leaves such laws to the states. Nevada is the only state in the country with laws that allow for prostitution, however, with ten of that state’s seventeen counties sanctioning regulated, legal sex work. Colorado’s Senate Bill 26-097 would require local governments to opt into sex-work reform.

Introduced on February 11, SB 097 would decriminalize commercial sexual activity among consenting adults and repeal state criminal offenses for prostitution, soliciting prostitution, keeping a place for prostitution, patronizing prostitutes and prostitute making display, according to the bill summary. The measure would also call on local governments to lightly regulate escort bureaus and massage parlors that charge for sexual activities, with each client-patron contract treated as a matter of public record.

Conducting such activities would be illegal for anyone under eighteen, with language in the bill protecting any victims of human trafficking from criminal or juvenile charges. Illegal pandering, or trying to intimidate or menacingly induce a person into buying sex, would be a class five felony, which carries a $5,000 to $10,000 fine. Pimping, defined as living on or being supported by money earned by another person through sexual activity, would remain a class three felony.

I can see the ads now..... "I’m not just the president but I’m also a client".

LOL....I cannot imagine the personnel drama that must be part and parcel of running a whorehouse.

But they got a cool hat.

Nope, just make them pay taxes.

However, current dating trends are making this a dead industry.

The demographics of the population are changing. Women seeking men is on the rise....population shifts where there are more women seeking men than men seeking women.

And it's getting worse than better.

Biology is at work here.
As couples enter into relationships at older ages the chances of having only female children increases with age.
Younger men tend to sire male offspring and older men sire female offspring.

So....there's an influx of more women to men. And women have proven themselves to be more manipulative and cunning than men in relationships. So men are more wary.

I never understood why this is illegal anyway. Not only is it the oldest profession in the world, but its also completely natural. It just has money involved.
Its also weird how if you record it and sell it, its legal, but if you keep it personal, its illegal.
Politicians are ******* stupid.

They could just make brick and mortar places, and go legit. They would be a boss instead of a pimp. And the prostitutes would get all protections every other worker in the state has.

Asking for chaos here by continuing to outlaw pimpery.

Who is going to hold the hoes' money and make sure they aren't out there wasting it, going shopping ,etc. ?


The Pimp Hoe system works well, as if a hoe wants to spend money, they just ask the Bottom ***** who relays the wanted expenditure to the Pimp.

If you dont like that stuff, I hear Iran is a safe place to go and you wouldnt have to worry about naked bodies or flowers that grow in a ditch
They would probably end up throwing you off a roof top, though.

Iran has "Marriage parlors". You go in and get married for an hour or so and come out and get divorced. All for a fee.

Never let a whore into your life. They'd steal a $3.99 phone charger, thinking it was worth something.

Don't ask how I know this.

Nope..
Not kidding.

However....think for a minute.
Veils on the women's faces
Middle East Muslim environment

Women are likely so nasty there's no amount of money available that would entice me to actually consider getting that close to one of those women.

Masturbating while in a full septic tank has more appeal than one of those women does.

No harm, no foul

^^^ the democrats end goal

Democrats = perverted freaks

Would this bill put the pimps out of business?

Absolutely!

Just like legalized pot puts all of the drug dealers out of business, legalized gambling has improved the roads and education system!

It's brilliant!

 

[scruffy]

The government has to legalize what it's been doing for years.

 

[Invisibleflash]

You left out gambling.

We need our guns. IM2 and his crew will need some special attention when the SHTFF.

From what I understand, if you can work underground, you can bet on Polymarket what day the USA will bomb a sovereign country of 90 million into oblivion.

If one consults the Talmud regarding pederasty (not exactly the same as pedophilia), one finds the details are prescribed there by Rabbis.
