Why is prostitution illegal?

[TemplarKormac]

I hope it stays illegal. There's something... disturbing... about women demeaning themselves and their bodies that way. Hey, their choice, but I would hope women would think more of themselves than that. That's why there are so many kids out there who don't know their mom or their dad because of some one night fling that got the woman pregnant, and that because she can't support him/her afterwards.

That's shameful. You, OP, don't understand the damage this does to society.

Wait, is this going to get me called a misogynist? Oh well. I can't help you if you think women should have the right to sell their bodies and expose themselves to all sorts of dangerous diseases and people.

Prostitution is one of those activities that cannot be made legal without an increase in illegal activity. At best there will be legal prostitutes and illegal prostitutes.

This is true. From what I understand, that's what goes on in Vegas.

I don't know because I don't go there, but I do watch the show COPS and they have prostitution busts with girls on the street all the time in Vegas.

Years ago when our state was pushing for the lottery, it was said that having legal gambling would wipe out mob gambling. Turns out that the mob simply uses the state lottery numbers as their own, but they offer better tax-free payouts and it's more profitable to place your bet with them.

Yes! Don't they know it's much more dignified to trade their bodies for free drinks, dinners, movies, or other miscellaneous entertainment, and not cash?

Is there a point to this sarcasm?

A woman trading the sanctity of her body for anything--cash, drinks, dinners, or Netflix--is placing worth on something that is invaluable.

Why is prostitution illegal?

Ugly Republican wives.

When did you become Republican?

We have legal prostitution in Nevada, but is outlawed in Las Vegas. This looks like a compromise position.

looks like hypocrisy and religion run amok

Yep the far left religion is proof of that, just look at this board..

But isn't that her choice or is it ours?

I don't see anything wrong with legalizing the whoring game so long as they are licensed upon certification that they are disease free (catch the clap, lose the license) and that this minimal regulation is financed through a special purpose fee paid by the whores or brothels.

In addition, the price for the whores need to be sufficiently high so as to make it cost-prohibitive for the riffraff who tend to carry disease and use IV drugs.

I really have no problem with the moral aspect of whoring. It has existed for ages and ages. Besides, it will probably make for better marriages if the wife knows that the hubby will go to a whore if he is not kept satisfied.

I think the late George Carlin said it best:

"Selling is legal. Sex is legal. Why is illegal when you sell sex?"

A little of both. What of the children who come out of this? Aren't they just as invaluable as her body? Why should children be subjected to that kind of lifestyle? I wouldn't.

Prostitution is not theft or robbery, it is services paid for, like any other business. Why is it illegal then?

Also, with increased poverty, prostitution may help some economically.

If prostitution was legal, it could be regulated, pimps held at bay, and the exchange would be safer, even worthy of insurance policies.

So, why is this traditional industry still outlawed?

Because religious people decided that sex was bad and evil, so we must all pretend it is so.

I could give the slightest damn whose choice it is. The children who come from this have no choice. I can't imagine those young ones being born into that kind of world. I was a product of a one night fling between my mom and pop. Mom ran away, never knew her, pop ran away and didn't come back until I was 16.

I was destined to a life of foster care until my grandmother came along.

Funny too, we all think it's her choice here, but when it comes to abortion... oh well. At least you're... consistent.

nobody dies when you humpa-ho

actually, nobody dies unless the wife finds out. Then all bets are off.
at best one can hope for a penisectomy

That's not necessarily accurate.

Where do the children go?

Why should they be subjected to being raised by uptight Christian fundamentalists?

If you do it right, there are no children produced.
You do realize that you dont have to get pregnant every time you have sex right?

Socialism requires social morals for free; and the clueless and the Causeless and the right can't always distinguish between social morals for free and capital morals for a price under our form of capitalism.

Meaningless gobbledy gook from the cretinous and stupid.
