So what some of you are saying is sucking cock and geting fucked for $25.00 in the front seat of strangers cars in broad daylight should be legal.

Dont tell me it should be "regulated". You people make me sick: its people like you that only help spread HIV/AIDS.

You help spread Hiv/Aids through UNPROTECTED sex. A condom used properly can prevent hiv nearly 100%.

Now do you honestly think some whore spreading her legs for a stranger practice "Safe Sex". Give her another 20 dollar bill and she will let you fuck her in her asshole with out the use of a condom.

Safe Sex is not the solution.

Welfare-to-Work�s New Thrust

Germany looks to the oldest profession to get people off the dole.

3 February 2005

A few years ago, prostitutes disappeared from the pages of medical journals; they returned as �sex workers.� Nor did they work in prostitution any more: they were employees in the �sex industry.� Presumably, orgasms are now a consumer product just like any other. As for pimps, the correct term is probably: �brief sexual liaison coordinators.�

The editors who decided on the new terminology almost certainly felt, and probably still do feel, a warm glow of self-satisfaction (one of the few emotions than never lets you down). How they must have prided themselves on their broadmindedness, as they strove to reduce the small-minded stigma traditionally attached to offering sexual services in return for money! How morally brave and daring they must have felt, to fly so boldly in the face of two millennia of unthinking condemnation!

Unfortunately, ideas�or in this case attitudes�have their consequences. If prostitution really is a trade like any other, with no particular moral opprobrium attaching to it, why should women (or for that matter men) who receive state benefits not be coerced into prostitution under threat of losing their benefits, just as they can be coerced into taking any other job that becomes available?

In fact, this is precisely what has just happened in Germany. Government officials have threatened a young unemployed waitress in Berlin with a reduction in her state unemployment benefit for turning down a job in a brothel. Since prostitution is a job like any other, they maintained, she had no right to turn it down.

The young woman in question could still refuse. But what would she live on? It has always been the argument of those who want to destigmatize prostitution that wretched personal circumstances force prostitutes into their sex-work; as is so often the case, this gloomy determinism has now helped to bring about the very circumstances complained of in the first place. Logically, and on exactly the same grounds, there is no reason why the government should not coerce young�or indeed old�men into homosexual prostitution.

Something to think about : work as a prostitute is always available, and welfare systems (as they are now set up) require able-bodied people to take any job available to them, or else they lose their benefits. Since prostitution is (the argument goes) just like any old job, the fact that somebody does not take an available job as a prostitute should mean that he (or she) loses welfare benefits.

Of course, one might argue that the latter part ought not be the case, that welfare recipients ought to receive benefits regardless of whether they take available work.

Safe Sex is the solution.

A whore who does that is a whore big time but if the customer asks for that w/o a condom than it would be the customer at fault. It is a real stupid thing to have sex with a sex worker w/o a condom and most whores in regulated countries nearly ALWAYs use a condom.

I've always found it interesting that one of the professions where an otherwise poor, unskilled woman can make the most money is illegal. If prostitution was legalized, pimps would almost disappear, as would many of the dangers of the profession.
Think about it. If it were legal to be a prostitute, streetwalkers would be able to call the cops if they were being harassed or threatened. Call girls would be able to declare their income legally. They would have better access to health care, if not insurance.

Space Marine - You can get AIDS or any other STD for that matter, from a person you know. If it was legal, the spread of STD's might even slow down, because there would be better access to health care, for starters. And because: Who would you rather have sex with? The clean, showered girl with all her paperwork in order to let you know that she has no diseases? Or the girl who looks like she's only in this to get another hit? As it is now, a guy would pretty much have to go with whichever one he encountered first, because otherwise he faces the risk of getting caught. If it was legal to be a prostitute, he could take his time to pick the girl that he thinks is least likely to give him a disease.

I think legalization will be great! No more STD Russian roulette with these dirty whores! Legalization will promote regulation, and regulation means Testing for STD's. I imagine they would have a cute little card saying "Certified STD free as of feb 2008 - Expires jan 2009" and in January 2009, they get tested again, and a new card if they pass. EVERYONE WINS!

Agreed. It would also eliminate a significant portion of the peripheral crime associated with prostitution where it is illegal, though certainly not all of it.

which leads me to ask, if TA were a whorehouse, who would you pick and how much would you offer? (feel free to counter those who get selected).

Ummm, who would run hor house then?

I'm not interested in having sex with someone I don't know or even care about, but I think legalization would make a safer world for the customers and the whores. Hey, maybe even lower taxes for the rest of us!
