Resolved Question

What's your opinion on prostitution?

Personally I believe if someone wants to sell their body for $$$ than that's their business. I would never do it, because I would find it demeaning to let strangers have sex with me.

Who owns your body....you or the government? Prostitution should be legal. The fact that it is illegal in most places keeps the women in the shadows and in danger. Prohibition of alcohol, drugs, prostitiution, etc. creates a black market that empowers the criminals and endangers society.

LillyLou	Posted Aug 30th, 2009 at 2:41AM It serves a purpose, for those who need the release and can't get it any other way. I have no issue with it other than the girls who work need to be protected from attack and weirdos more than they are. Rated: +3Vote for this!
luckypickle	Posted Aug 29th, 2009 at 10:22PM Actually me and my EP bro were just talking about this yesterday.... I think that if they can regulate and tax it..why not? I mean it happens all the time anyway right? Then perhaps this country would have some money in the bank..and our taxes wouldn't go to prostitutes jail time. Now I'm not saying I agree with it...but some people truly have no other way to take care of their families. Rated: +2Vote for this!

kevinmcc	Posted Aug 30th, 2009 at 2:44AM There is aplace for prostition ,as if they didn`t exist there would be more rapes and attacks on women, Yes there is the drug side of it but that is same with clubs,pubs etc, As for the women that do it ,well that is their choice ,but the amount that get bashed or hurt is very high. No need to look down on prostition or the women that work it. Rated: +2Vote for this!
miguelote	Posted Aug 29th, 2009 at 6:02PM I think if they choose to do so after a certain age, say 18 + it would be okay. Unfortunately however, I think many tend to start in early teens for dire reasons such as drug abuse , homelessness or some combination of these and possibly other factors until they're so caught up in the lifestyle they eventually don't see regular work with it's minimal pay as a being a good option.

nmffaso	Posted Aug 29th, 2009 at 6:02PM I think that with regulation it could be a lagitamate business. who are we to say that someone who is willing to sell sex is wrong for doing it? I mean if ********* is lagit then why are we so hard on prostitution... ** actors are just the same they have sex for money... would prostitution be okay if we caught it on tape?

Faucon	Posted Aug 29th, 2009 at 6:18PM Prostitution IS the world's oldest profession and it's NOT going away. SO, I also feel that, like the in state of Nevada, it should be regulated. The other day, going into the city, there's an area where the prossies work. A police car went straight past the girls,(one in a sequined, purple evening dress at 7am), and pulled over a car in front of me to give them a ticket L The violence, drug use, AIDS and other diseases associated with street prostitution would go down (no pun intended) with regulation.

gwenb	Posted Aug 29th, 2009 at 6:26PM It is the oldest profession in the world.lol.But really,I don't care not to be rude.It is their bodies and their choice.I wouldn't do it and that is all that matters. Rated: +1Vote for this!
TravelinMan39	Posted Aug 29th, 2009 at 6:29PM It exploits men in the same way as legalized drug use would exploit drug users. It will destroy marriages by removing yet another barrier. I WILL (and does where it is legal) exploit young girls. No doubt about it. Rated: +1Vote for this!
MetalFatigue	Posted Aug 29th, 2009 at 6:55PM I think who you sleep with and why should be your business. Whether it was for love, lust, or because they bought you an expensive dinner or handed you some cold hard cash - it's your call. Rated: +1Vote for this!

Puffaluffagous	Posted Aug 29th, 2009 at 7:35PM If you are an adult and want to sell sex to someone and someone is willing to buy it, then those individuals are the only ones that need to be involved in that transaction...IMO Rated: +1Vote for this!
