Would legal prostitution EVERYWHERE reduce violence?

[AyashiKaibutsu]

No. Prostitution should stay illegal.
I don't like the idea of attractive people finding yet another easy way to make money.

They already get the best jobs, best opportunities and best everything. Legalizing prostitution means now they can open their legs without any education and make a lot. It's not fair for us ugly folk.

It means instead of taking your office job because they're more attractive. They instead won't compete with you because they'll just open their legs for the money instead of bothering with training and what no t. You should be all for it.

I am for legalizing prostitution, but I think there are some issues regarding regulation and detection of diseases, the latter being most important. Before you know it, you could have massive epidemics on your hands without effective, cheap, and quick detection. Really, I don't think it would work without immediate and accurate detection for both the prostitute and the client. With the dormancy period of some diseases / periods of time in which detection is difficult, there is probably some work to be done.

They use to say that back in the early 80s about HIV. So many were scared that prostitutes would spread HIV but that never happened. I think it is the average person who is not into prostitution who are the main culprits of spreading STD's. Damn look at the high rate of STD's among college kids! I think a prostitute is more pro protection because they can't afford to get sick of get an STD. That would ruin their livelihood. I also think the whole prostitutes spread STDs thing is another big myth honestly.

the bmw shooter in CA shot at a sorority house and killed girls because he couldn't get any.

No, he killed people because he was crazy. If people were killing women because they didn't get any pussy, there'd be no girls left in the world.

That current Ebola thing in Liberia ever gets loose in the US that way you'll really see a 12 Monkeys thing if it mutates ever.

Ebola is airborne isn't' it? That shit is so contagious you don't have to have sex with anyone to catch it if your just around someone who has it.

 

[MongGrel]

I looked that up the other day actually out of curiousity.

I thought it was myself.

Apparently not airborne, or the world would probably be a much less inhabited place atm.

The thing ever mutates to that would be a different story.

That's probably because you'd have to be crazy to bang a hooker without wearing a rubber. I think that prostitution being legalized would require similar standards of testing to that of the porn industry, at least.

No doubt, though, colleges are for sure the way to get an STD.

Did anyone watch Wolf of Wallstreet? Well the guys at Wallstreet were buying high class hookers like they were pizza take out..lmao

So I doubt that the 80's HIV scare put a dent in the hooker, prostitute business.

But yea, I agree with you that we should just legalize it and regulate it. It is really stupid not to. I think people who say "I wouldn't want my daughter, wife, ----insert any name here, doing that" are just afraid that if it's legalized it would be a temptation for many women because I am willing to bet the money is pretty damned good, albeit it is short term. Like models and athletes they can't stay in the biz forever, it has a short shelf life.

 

[shira]

He has a point. It's all well and good to regulate prostitution, but that regulation also adds cost, so that the hooker who can no longer service clients legally due to disease merely goes back under the table so to speak by undercutting the official price.

But hookers like this are already "under the table," so what's the big deal? Furthermore, under a regulatory regime that includes licensing, regular STD testing, and required "facilities," the fact that these prostitutes were outside the regulatory system would be obvious, and anyone going to one of these unregulated hookers would know they were taking a big risk with their health.

Regulating prostitution wouldn't be a "perfect" system, but it would be a darn sight better than what we have now.

Agreed.
