I can see why it should be taxible and regulated like any other business but No, Money for sex should be A-OK.

some people can't get it from anyone else, so they gotta do what they gotta do.
some people just know how to profit from that, and don't mind fucking some fat weird guy.

i'd rather not have a bunch of hookers walking around where i live, but maybe if there were some hooker rules, it would be different.

I don't think the buybull has anything bad to say about "concubines"....

It is the SIN factor that has the fundies all up in arms about it.

Who's the victim? I'm opposed to laws against victimless crimes.

If it's the prostitutes who are being exploited, what good does it do to throw them in jail?

legal, if they have mandatory VD tests at a set increments and practice their trade safely.

If not, then no.

It really goes back to the old Abrahamic religious sexual hangup about men being unable to control their own sexual urges, and women being responsible for this. It's present in Christianity AND Islam.

It's a cop-out of personal responsibility of the worst kind.

look at Nevada... or Amsterdam. prostitution can work quite well. it can be safe, regulated and hell, if you're into such things, taxed.

Making prostitution illegal is legislated morality, nothing more.
