Why the hell would any country make it illegal? Tax is, regulate it and watch how little harm it does. Government shouldn't restrict something that's 100% natrual
The government allows it so all the geeks at Area 51 can get some and keep them coming back to work.
There is a difference. Chemicals can cause harm to yourself and (the key
to others. Having sex with a strange person if done as safely as possible doesn't harm others. I have a hard time with this prostitution one. Morally and ethically it is wrong in my mind, but legally I'm just not sure why it should be illegal as long as it is consenting adults.Because it's 'immoral'.
Personally i believe it should be legal. Why should sex always involve a relationship? Why can't it just be 'bought'? Everybody has needs, not everybody has the capability or time to acquire it properly. What if you were 18 or 19, no relationship, entered the military, went over to the middle east for a year doing your duty, come back and you're horny as hell seeing all the women again. I would certainly want to hit the prostitutes on my first days back. If i was in the Navy, i certainly wouldn't want to be in a relationship. Sure, you can be monogamous when you're at sea (unless you're gay, or unless your ship is co-ed, which some are these days?), but you can't be sure your SO is. It would certainly be hard to start a proper relationship when you're always taking off to sea for half a year at a time.
As long as the women consent to it, i really don't see a problem with it.
That being said, i think i'm starting to like the idea of the Canadian laws, where the women can't work from a single establishment. Look at countries that do have legalized prostitution. There are entire districts of area where there are nothing but prostitutes, and they're even showcased in windows. I know my local area has a big escort business, so big that part of the local government wanted the women to acquire licensing... that way they could properly track the women (so they're not 'pimped' out), and know where they're doing it (and tax them of course).... but there was a big uproar here and it never went through.
Mmmmmm, legalized prostitution. You could go to an expensive place when funds allowed, or if money was tight, there's a Little Skeezers Pooneria on every corner....
I'm all for it. I think it should be allowed, between consenting adults. Would certainly help the country's financial situation with all the revenue it would generate in taxes.

heard brothels in LV are $400/hr
holy crap.. that's a grip... $400/ hr? I would imagine that number fluctuates up and down depending on "quality".
Actually, if you compare that to a lapdance ($15 x 30 dances <you figure each dance is 2 minutes long> = $450!), going to a brothel is cheaper..

$200 for the girl, $200 for the house.
if u go during slow times (ie: weekday around 3pm), u go go as low as $250/hr. (if u leave b4 the hr, u still have for the full hr)
but just to compare pricing:
Amstradam red light district: $50 but as soon as you're done, you're out the door. So for that extra $200, u can put towards the airfare and have a vacation in amstradam.
AGAIN, THIS IS WHAT I'VE READ AND HEARD!
WayneTek, if you are still reading this... please to change your subject line to:
"Why is prostitution legalized in Nevada while it is ILLEGAL everywhere else in the United States?"
IIRC, (and I'm not at home to do proper research on the subject, so some of my facts will be off), it was legal in the territory of Nevada before they achieved statehood - or something like that.
It then became illegal because federal law overrides state law in that matter, and federal laws
make prostitution illegal.
However, the state legislators found an interesting loophole (?) that made already exisiting
brothels tolerable under the law, as long as they did not impact on a significant number
of state residents. Which is why they can have legal brothels in the smaller counties, with
populations under a target number; while cities like Las Vegas get to make extra revenue by
busting all the goobers who come to town looking for "legal" hookers without actually checking
the local laws.
Side Trivia: The US Government owned one of those brothels at one point. The Mustang Ranch
(IIRC) was seized by the IRS for nonpayment of back taxes, and they had to maintain the
"services" of the establishment until they could find someone to buy the business from them.

The station I just worked at recently ran an inverview with the owner of the Bunny Ranch in Nevada. He said that prostitution was legal in any county in Nevada that had fewer than 400,000 residents. He said that there was something like a 30% increase in AIDS cases among prostitutes in Las Vegas over the last 5 years.

I think it's because from an economic standpoint every woman would become a prostitute -- it just pays too well compared to the lower pay women are getting now from jobs. But most of us wouldn't want our daughters, sisters, or mom's to be prostitute -- and that's why it's "illegal".
