Should Prostitution Be Legal In America?

[Billo_Really]

"I don't understand why prostitution is illegal?
Selling is legal. Fucking is legal. So why is
'selling fucking' illegal? Why is it illegal to sell
something, that is perfectly legal to give away?"

I do think prostitution should be legalized. I think it would be much easier to monitor and regulate the industry, and it would help to keep children out of the business. .

No, it wouldn't. It never has.

Really? Works well in Nevada.

No it doesn't. See the links I provided.

Wrong question, IMO. It's not whether prostitution should be legal or not for adults. The question is, should ANY activity between adults that does not infringe on the rights of another be illegal? I argue "no". If you're an adult and you're not taking from or hurting another, the law should have no ability to prosecute you.

Yeah, I agree...why do all of the states except Nevada make it illegal?

Republicans are at the forefront of keeping prostitution illegal...Can't have the little guy making too much money.

What evidence do you have that Dems are fighting for legalization while meeting resistance from Republicans? Stated differently, I think you just made some shit up because it fits your narrative.

No harm....no foul

...I think that it should be if it could be organized in a way where those under the age of eighteen are unaware that it is legal.

Do you think that it should be legal? Why or why not?

Thanks for all answers

Prostitution is legal. Its called pornography.

Why don't you explain how pornography is prostitution. I can't wait for this!

It's sex acts for money. The "actors" are getting paid to have sex for money in front of a camera, and people buy their "sex." Kind of like prostitution anyway.

Key word: 'Actors'

But they are not just acting. Lol! There is really sex happening.

 

[ChrisL]

So, why is pornography legal (for the "actors") because it is still sex for money AND it is filmed?

I'll bet you I know why. It's definitely got to do with taxes. You know how our greedy monstrosity money-eating machine government operates? They probably do not want prostitution to be legal because they would have a difficult time taxing it.

I have read the links. Either the scenario is not Nevada, or you have disgruntled former employees which is common in every industry.

The Mayor of Vegas is a Democrat who is fighting to change existing laws in Nevada to bring prostitution into Clark County. The opposition are Republican state lawmakers. Try Google.

Keep denying the facts while women and girls keep suffering, you POS.

Not surprising.

Most of the resistance to legalizing marijuana comes from the right -- the anti-pleasure mentality. Hypocritical bastards.

It's sex acts for money. The "actors" are getting paid to have sex for money in front of a camera, and people buy their "sex." Kind of like prostitution anyway.

Key word: 'Actors'

In porn, the "actors" are aroused and do climax a lot of the time (men anyways, from the few I have seen). Men have to be aroused in one form or another to actively participate in sexual intercourse (from the little experience I do have). Anyways, I worry more about other issues than prostitution. This is an interesting thread.

Yes, that's how I see it too. It's still sex for money. It's really not THAT much different IMO.

The only thing that's different is there are cameras involved. Film producers can be just as cruel as pimps behind the scenes.

I'm sure of it. I imagine it's not all that "sexy" behind the scenes. Lol.

Just propose to the hooker first

After you pay, tell her you think you made a mistake and no longer want to wed.

See, problem solved

Not prostitution, just misplaced love

 

[Darlene]

I can only imagine what pregnant porn is like! lol

It doesn't matter. Courts have already ruled. Google it.

Well, isn't it interesting that one thing is legal, yet the other is not?

One is a freedom of speech issue

You can't restrict the phrase "oh god, yes yes yes"

I think it's in the constitution
