This is amusing considering the last paragraph of your post.
I would wager that every man in this conversation has paid for sex in one way or another. Most of it indirectly, dinner, drinks at a bar, jewelry, I could go on forever about what men do legally to get sex that involves the transfer of money or objects from one party to the other and I bet you did/do it too. Of course I doubt you will admit it but thems the facts bud. There is a good reason for that too.
LOL, do you know what the difference of pay is? Regardless, people are being paid to have sex. Are you suggesting that you would agree with prostitution if both parties pay each other but one party makes vastly more than the other? If that is the case then you just created the perfect loophole.
Men say women can't do something with their own body = good
Men repeal that law and say women CAN choose to, or not to do, with their own body = bad?
LOL, fo real dawg?
You aren't addressing my main point, but talking in circles around it.
If you count what if cost me to get married, maintain the wife while married, and get divorced, then divide by the number of times I got laid while married, I could have paid for at least a $500 hooker each time. Men who don't think they're paying for it just aren't paying attention.
I see no basis for the need for taxation or regulation of it, were it to become legal everywhere.
Why should prostitutes not pay taxes on their wages if everyone else has to?

Precisely a point I just made in my posts above, and precisely why prostitution was made illegal to begin with, because females are the bulk of prostitutes, and paternalistic society views female promiscuity as worse than male promiscuity. How that is an argument in favor of its continued criminalization is beyond me. Do we need to police female sexual behavior more so than male sexual behavior?

It's a bet you'd lose, but I doubt there is anyway I can convince you of that. I've dated and had sex with a total of one woman, which is my wife (a fact of which I'm sure more than a few of you just snickered at). I choose a long time ago that I was going to wait until I had a meaningful relationship established before having sex.
I don't really think pornography is a good thing, but I see it as operating on a different level than prostitution. It's also merely an attempt to divert attention and refute my position with something that is similar, but ultimately totally different. You aren't addressing my main point, but talking in circles around it.
Woolfe,
Sex in advertising is being used to sell a separate product, not sex itself. A small distinction for sure, but one that I think is important. We could go into a discussion about how advertising manipulates women as well, but it's not really relevant and would probably fall on blind eyes.
This is a classic example of sociologists and psychologists trying to "change" our behavior aka force us not to do things we want to do.
Men like prostitution and women like to provide their services for money. Rich liberal sociologists however don't want poor men to enjoy the benefits of prostitution so they make it illegal. They want to bend liberty and eliminate freedom. The communists are taking over. Be scared, be very scared.
when the fuck did you get the idea that it's rich liberals that want to ban prostitution?
lolfail.
if anything, it's a combined morally backwards assumption irrespective of politics--but if you want to pin it on one party--liberals? lolwtf.
you just like to use that word loosely, yeah? it's become habit to use it, I guess, as your catch-all derogatory label for "that which I fear and have no hope of understanding."

To be clear, if you believe in regulated prostitution, then the appropriate poll answer is option 3, "be legal."

The majority are paid in cash.. and that's just fine.
i lol'd
Hey, maybe we can get MaryJane and Prostitution legalized all at the same time! One can dream right?
The fact that many can get around paying taxes by accepting cash then not reporting it, like waiters do with tips, is no argument against requiring the payment of taxes. I don't understand your reasoning. Are you saying that because, as a practical matter, much of their income will go unreported, they shouldn't be required to report it?
