Re: Shud Prostitution be Legal?
Without losing dignity? Because no other industry gives a 20 year old girl with no education 200 dollars an hour. 1,000 a night. Why did a recent New York law student sell her body? To quote her in the NY Post:
You make it seem everyone gets into prostitution because they are somehow forced. Wrong. Many people chose to sell their body. At $200 an hour some people are willing to do it.
As for your drugs claim, it only happens where drugs and sex are unregulated. In Amsterdam prostitutes have to be drug free. In Amsterdam you cannot buy drugs if you’re a junkie.
**I took offense to your last sentence. Why? Because people that advocate legalization/regulation realize prostitution wont go away. You can get an unregulated prostitute for $25 or you can get a regulated prostitute for $200. We are NOT trying to get free access. **As a proponent I can only make sure people are not FORCED into prostitution. Thats what legalization/regulation does. It makes sure prostitution is consensual. That a 16 year old is not having sex because she was snatched from her house. Or that a 25 year old is not having sex because a pimp owns her.
Prostitution is bad. Yes. I agree. But people that oppose legalization/regulation live in a fairy land where one day prostitution will magically disappear. You cant stand on a crate and tell me making it illegal will solve the problem. It wont. You dont realize countless number of women and children will be abused even more if you dont legalize and regulate. There is absolutely no way you can make prostitution disappear. Lets make sure people that sell their bodies are doing it because they want to.
You’re contradicting yourself. If it didn’t pay 200 dollars an hour, do you think she still would have been interested in going crazy in this manner? No, she’d probably go bunjee jumping instead if she were to find out prostitution pays 10 dollars an hour.
The lucrative money offer is really what drives people. And that’s what needs to be condemned. It shouldn’t be allowed that some guy with lots of money (or girl) can wave around 200 dollars and get a human being to take their clothes off.
