Is Prostitution legal in your country? I find it disgusting that in the US we have divisions of police forces running around trying to incarcerate consenting men and women for spending a few bucks for a night of happiness.
What say you??

If people over the age of consent wish to purchase or sell sex, I don't see why they shouldn't tbh
fousto,
in my case I have never paid a nickel to be with a woman but nevertheless:
I feel that if it is treated as a profession following health and legal regulations and you have clients that are paying for services rendered and no one is getting hurt in the process (and here I don't include whoever's feelings are hurt if the ******* cheats on the partner) - it is fine with me.
:p imp:
It used to be legal in Finland, then it used to be illegal, then legal again and now I think it's legal to sell sex but not buy. However, pimping has been illegal all the time. Ho, ho, ho :s anta:
Prostitution has been legal in New Zealand for a number of years now.
The current system is not perfect. There are still street walkers and underage girls. Prostitutes are still murdered.
Another big negative is parents who push daughters into the game(because it is legal) to support the family.
The alleged positive is that Police supposedly have more time to track runaways and detect underage girls rather than arresting old hoes.
Other issues are the location of 'operations' in residential areas and 'foreign students' doing things other than classroom study.
Probably on balance it is a positive advance on the 'illegal' massage parlour days, where there were arrests for having durex onsite. Bad clients can be apprehended because those involved with the game can talk to each other / network to protect themselves and the info passed onto police.
The actual act is legal in Canada. Everything around it is illegal (maybe). Recently a Judge threw out all the laws about soliciting, keeping a bawdy house and so on as unconstitiutional, mostly on the grounds of safety for the prostitutes.
The Govt. has 'stayed' the decision for several months while they decide what to do. They have not come up with a solution yet. My guess is they will appeal to the Surpreme Court but the judge who made the ruling spent a year coming to her conclusions and wrote a several thousand page decision so the Surpreme Court very likely would agree.
In the meantime charges continue to be laid.
Once the 'stay' period is over it will be wide open unless appealed or new legislation brought in.
As far as I know it is legal in Nye Co Nevada. (not to be confused with Clark County which is where Las Vegas is) I also believe there are some areas in Northern Nevada where it is legal but I'm not sure about that. One of the many problems I have with this issue philosophically is that I think there are a lot of young women that get involved with this activity legally, or illegally that get the mindset "Once a hooker always a hooker" This is not very good for their self esteem. Combine that with a woman that is forced into the "profession", whether it is through the threat of violence or just a sudden need for a steady stream of income. Unless this is closely monitored these lives may well will be severely damaged before the young women have the sense to have a contingency plan to get out, and on with their lives and join "Posthookeralizationism Anonymous" (That's not a word or an association btw) ;)
But seriously are the penalty's that severe? I think If you are running a full blown Brothel and are caught, you would probably be hit with a Federal inditement, the same one that took down the original "Mr Alcatraz"... "Big Al Capone"...... Tax Evasion. :(
Good for the consumer, bad for the hookers.
Sure, there are a few Madams who make a fortune off of their sex slaves, but the women who actually do the deed more often then not end up in body bags. Suicide, drug use, or murder are the usual culprits for their deaths.
In short, I'm all for it being legalized here! I'd pimp with a heavy hand.
I used to see hookers of some sort every day past 6 on my way home from work. Every now and then I'd see one who'd jump out in front of traffic and flash them. There's usually one of those safe sex wagons there distributing condoms later in the night.Quote:

Personally, I'd rather have all these freaks off the streets and somewhere I don't have to see them.
Any man who says that is only fooling themselves!Quote:

Try dating a women without buying her dinner or movie tickets or gifts....etc.
Sure you will run into the occasional slut but for the vast majority we have to pay.
Even that engagement ring is just a down-payment.
the topic is prostitution . . . . . . :dozey:Quote:

It is probably up to the Auckland Council to clean up the streets with a bylaw and police enforcement. Though like those squeegee bandits making your windscreen dirty, a banning bylaw does not make nuisance people in public places disappear.
Where else would those frearks go seeing as the Labour government financed sex transplant operations, while people were dying...Quote:

I am sorry, but that's pretty sick ****. I don't want my tax money wasted on sick twisted freaks like that. While good honest people are dying... So there freaks can be hooking in Manurewa or Papatoe...
PS: I usually tell those windscreen fellows I got no money and get my windscreen cleaned for free. :p
she say, "hey Alcatazio, don't you still owe me some money??? You can excercise that Fifth Member all night long by yourself, but don't make me come chopping......Quote:

It would appear the Auckland local politicians are waking up after many years.

There is expected to be many foreigners who travel to NZ for the Rugby World Cup not to watch the rugby but provide services.
Well, if that's the route you had to take in life to get laid, then you're pathetic. My rule of thumb is to never buy a woman anything until you've had sex with her, period. Unless she's a friend, which changes the rules. You can't have sex with a female friend and still have a friendship. Just doesn't work!Quote:

Let me guess Tony, divorced? Now go ahead and tell me about your experiences that are related to this thread. How many prostitutes have you had in you life? :)
It should be legal everywhere! A lot of marriages would be saved :s mokin:
I'll take it one step further, a lot of unhappy marriages and divorces, with children being the ultimate victims would be averted!Quote:

Nah......Legal or illegal prostitution is the oldest job in the world. Even in countries where it's illegal the phenomen exists and is flourishing.Quote:

Not to mention that ( at least in my country ) if a wife finds out you were at wh*res ...you don't want to know what she does
I find that if it's legalised at least there are registered brothels where the prostitutes are screened, so the clientele does not end up contracting and spreading sexually transmitted infections. That is probably the biggest positive from legalising prostitution.
Of course, there will always be illegal brothels unwilling to comply with laws concerning prostitution. But I don't think that people are going to suddenly flock to brothels just because they are legal. So besides people being unwilling to admit a few home truths, I haven't heard much of an argument against legalising prostitution.
It's not easy to get rid of one in the morning, though. Most women I know will not be satisfied with a one night stand. They won't care whether you have a family or not. They will start texting you, calling you etc.Quote:

I think it's a bit same like with abortion, a woman can choose for her self what she does and dont do, if someone is forced to prostitution thats an other story offcourse.
Good, someone here finally mentions the other side of prostitution, a very brutal side involving rape, beatings and murder.Quote:

Especially as 3 prostitutes were killed in this last year in Bradford by a guy,who liked to be known as the "cross bow cannibal" If ALL the girls were OFF the strrets and in a Base,then this guy may not have been able to have taken then back to his residence to ikill them.
The point I was making!Quote:

Tiny bit of back story first. I'm a driving instructor during the week and had a new pupil to meet. She gave me the address as an apartment block and told me to wait in the road and text her to come down. I pull up at the time and place and as I'm sending her the text I get a knock at my window (can you see where this is going? ;) ).
Long story short. I start to give a lesson to a very confused hooker only realising my mistake when my pupil calls me to ask where I was.
Epic fail! Thank God the old bill weren't out - how would I have explained that one? :D
Hookers are everywhere in Berlin at night, if you go out at night you'll definitely be hassled by one. It's legal and the German government gets taxes from it, so it surprises me that it's not legal in the UK!
Here's another problem. My friends were in Hamburg, Germany, which is a lot like Berlin in this respect, even more. When they took a cab, the driver offered to find a girl for them for just 30 Euro, any looks, any race (they did not solicit the offer, just FYI ;) ). He said that if they wanted to go to a legal brothel, it would cost them up to a 100. Needless to say, his offer most likely referred to girls managed by a pimp, quite possibly coming from poor countries and staying in Germany illegally and definitely not paying any taxes and having zero medical checks.Quote:
