I had a HUGE debate w/ my boyf on this issue. I said that prostitution should be legalized--with regulation, of course (STD/Drug testing, liscensing etc), and be regulated to a particular area of a city. This way, ppl can go to strip clubs strictly for entertainment (im really tired of seeing the russian girls blowing guys for an extra buck out in the open) and not extras. Men are going to pay for the svc anyway if they want sex--regardless of the posible legal consequences. if a person feels the need to theyll go to a brothel--legal or not. any man that hasnt gone to one did not--not b/c its illegal, but b/c he didnt feel the need to.
My man's argument was that it will cause divorce rates to go up and cause men to completely change thier lifestyles (going to brothels instead of dating, getting married etc). B/c of his corporate job--he has been sent high class callgirls (as gifts for sealing deals and whatnot) the men in his biz often go to "spas" where u can get a table shower and sex. he said "if it was legal i would go everyday. whats to stop me? theres no legal consequences." Men that would never go to a brothel normaly, may go simply b/c its legal.
(i told him that he let that high-class hooker work him over--despite his knowledge that prostitution is illegal--case in point.)
Opinions anyone?




Exactly, I think it's self-ownership. When people say "you're selling yourSELF/your soul for money", THEY'RE the ones who are implying that the person IS essentially just a body, not a personality or a brain. Besides that, it's inaccurate to say that you're even selling your body, because at the end of the session, the girl still has the same body she had before. She didn't sell her body, she just sold her services which are not what make her essentially herself. So like you said it's about self-ownership. When in relation to the fact that the man is participating in a sexual act for free or paying you say that a woman doing the same act is "selling herself" then you are just saying that you really think women don't own themselves.
some making $2,000 for an hour session or more thanks to the publicity that the pimp gives them. Anyway, low end prostitutes would have much to lose also because they maybe be low-end based on some deficiency on their part for example if they're unattractive or completely unwilling to do some things. Legalized/decrim means more competition which would push these low end girls out of the business or force them to lower their fees even more or force them to go beyond their limits.
