Legalising Prostitution

[,Jess,]

I can see why some people say it should be made legal but at the end of the day even though some people don't just do it because of a drug addiction a lot of people do. Something like that would maybe even make it easier for them to get money for drugs and that wouldn't be a good thing. Also I just think the idea of selling yourself is wrong but obviously it's down to the person

hmm, i'm unsure really because with every idea there will always be pros and cons but if i had to choose i would say make it legal.

If it was made legal then potential prostitutes would have to apply for the job just like any other job. The girls who do it for drugs do so because they can't be bothered with a job interview or will clearly not pass it because of how messed up they are. Therefore, I'd expect that making it legal would leave a number of prostitutes who would still be doing it illegally, but this number would be severely reduced.

Tbh i know of a lot of strip/ lapdance/ brothels which may be illegal but nobody does much about them. I think that it should be legalised for all the reasons Asher said. It would be easier for women to get justice done when things do happen to them.
Some peoples views on this matter is "Ther asking for it"
All iv got to say to people like this is, you be raped then come back and tell me anybody asks for something like that to happen.

Its not my choice of profession and i could never sell my body but i can understand why others do it and i dont see anything wrong with it.

Along with this, i think they should make a law that everybody who isnt purposly trying to have a baby must use a condom. That would pretty much stop STD's and STI's.

It should be. Legalisation works in Amsterdam where despite the seedy reputation of the city, the prostitution there is much cleaner and better regulated.

It wouldn't surprise me if it did end up becoming legal under this Government though... It's something else they can tax.

Should prostitution be legalised? Should there be legal brothels? The benefits of this would mean protection for women from rape, assault and sexual exploitation - these would significantly be decreased. Less women would be on the streets dependant on drugs, and generally they'd have a better and safer life.

Some would argue and be adamant with the idea that prostitution is completely immoral, and degrading for a woman to sell herself for sex. Truth is, prostitution will always be around and women are getting raped and assaulted - it's upto us and the government to come to an agreement so that the women are kept safer on the streets.

DISCUSS:

I agree with most the first half, a few benefits it missed were.
The government doesn't have to pay so much trying to get rid of it, but instead gain money from tax on it.
Its generally safer, legislation would likely be introduced to make sure workers wernt exploited are healthy and not suffering from STD's when working as well as inforceing the use of condoms.
People who would be on the streets doing it in a very unsafe way anyway, will just be doing the same thing in a safe way with less problems with being exploited and attacked.

I dont really under stand what your trying to say, since it doesnt make a whole lot of sence to me?
Is this your personal experience of loosing your virginity or somthing?

i thought it was legal in certain areas of cities (i.e red light districts) but i thought it was illegal to curb crawl...

like drugs, if you make that legal i reckon more people would take it safely and get it legally plus it would work for the government coz they could tax it massivly like cigarettes...
