Specifically, what is "perverted" about the practice of prostitution?It's perverted.

Apparently the exchange of money makes it perverse, otherwise it's simply sex.Specifically, what is "perverted" about the practice of prostitution?It's perverted.
Greg
There are certain sexual acts and activities which are commonly thought of as perverse, i.e., pedophilia, bestiality, et. al. But there is nothing perverse about the ordinary practice of prostitution, which is the voluntary and wholly agreeable exchange by adults of sexual intimacy for some form of compensation.
Child prostitution would still be illegal,there is NOTHING to stop pimps from beating, raping and even killing prostitutes and with special emphasis on minors and children. .
Minors and children especially suffer from the ills that have been PROVEN to coincide with legalized prostitution. You care more about playing games with some 'theory' than with the fate of actual human beings. That says something about you.
It's not a "theory." .
And you offer nothing more than insistence. Try reading some of the many, many links I've provided.
I have. LIKE I SAID, the reason why the instances of arrests for human trafficking happen is because it is being policed instead of ignored.

You clearly haven't read the scientific studies.

Sorry. I already explained this. The reason why this SEEMS to be the case is because when it is legalized, the police capture MORE of these people. Duh.
"The scale effect of legalized prostitution leads to an expansion of the prostitution market, increasing human trafficking, while the substitution effect reduces demand for trafficked women as legal prostitutes are favored over trafficked ones. Our empirical analysis for a cross-section of up to 150 countries shows that the scale effect dominates the substitution effect. On average, countries where prostitution is legal experience larger reported human trafficking inflows."
Does Legalized Prostitution Increase Human Trafficking
Stop pretending you care about real people.
Nope, it doesn't lead to MORE illegal activity. .

I have provided proof over and over again. You have provided nothing.
That is an entirely subjective individual perception -- which you are fully entitled to. While I'm sure there are certain transactions within the practice of prostitution which are thought of as revolting by those with ordinary and/or conservative sexual preferences and attitudes, provided the subjects are consenting adults and no one is harmed by their actions, let freedom reign. (I personally feel that eating lobsters and crabs is disgusting.)Well, it is rather disgusting.
Men do it, too. Not quite as commonly, or overtly, but the gigolo is a very real presence in the world of wealthy women.I wish women wouldn't do it . . .
Which is a perfectly rational, reasonable attitude.. . . . but as long as they are consenting adults and know what they're doing, then that's fine by me.
Why should we stop them? How does their peaceful, discreetly conducted sexual behavior affect us?I know that we can't stop them.
Well said and quite true.However, regulating the industry, IMO, will help minors. They wouldn't have to be afraid to tell the police if they are being abused, etc. As it is now, the pimps use the fact that it is illegal to scare these young (sometimes VERY young) girls.

As I've told you, the reason why there is an alleged "increase" in human trafficking is because those people are caught more often when the activity is legalized. .

Prostitution should be legalized, regulated, and supervised by the police -- as it is in The Netherlands, which is a highly civilized and psychologically healthy nation.
Think about that and yes, it's pretty disgusting. You don't have any idea how "clean" they might be.

Writing an essay proves nothing. Of course they found exactly what they were looking for. They were not looking for independent woman that were successful in the business because that would go against their narrative.Sorry. I already explained this.
