I am aware that prostitution in Nevada is only legal under specific circumstances, but I see that my previous post implied otherwise.

Thanks for the correction. :hatsoff:

You seemed like you were probably aware. I was just taking the oppurtunity to explain a few things that I only found out recently that others may not have known about.

So, thanks for the lead in... :)

Goddamn. We agree on something finally.

Street walkers can't be legalized. That is just dangerous and it won't take away from the crack whore aspect of the prostitution game.

Brothels, massage parlors, etc should be legalized and organized so it's safe.

I'm glad we can agree on something. :hatsoff:

Re: Prostitution

prostitutes have been around as camp followers and the like since the dawn of man

its ridiculous in our 20th century arrogance ever made it illegal in the first place

on a side note, if prostitution is having sex with strangers for money, what are pornstars? how is it nice and ok and legal for them to fuck for green, but not any old girl?

Actually porn was illegal until about 20 years ago or so (according to an interview I saw with Ron Jeremy). He said it was considered prostitution. But one day, someone took it to the Supreme court saying that porn was art and a freedom of expression. They won and presto! It became legal.

Pornstars aren't having sex with strangers, the majority of the time they know the people their fucking.

As I understand it, the legal difference hinges upon the following: prostitutes are selling sex to their clients, pornstars (both male and female) are "performers." In that sense pornstars are more like actors or other entertainers than prostitutes.

So, in a nutshell, if she gets paid for sex, it's prostitution. If you get it on film and sell it, it's not! :D
 
Re: Prostitution

i don't mind in a city if they have a section designated to be an area for such businesses which has legal protection from any incidents, like in Holland! :p
 
Re: Prostitution

There's no logic to it being illegal.

Selling is legal. Fucking is legal. Why isn't selling fucking legal?

First, save your breath, I DO know where the search button is and use it daily. Yes there is a very old thread on this, but half the posters are gone/banned and 4 years is a long time.

Lets open it for new discussion.
My question is, where do you stand on legalizing prostitution in the U.S. ?

I feel its long overdue. It is as they say the 'oldest' profession, yet today more deadly than ever. It will never be stopped and so much more is at risk these days. With Aids and other new Stds out there, drugs and crime off the charts I think our country needs to step up. Regulate it, take it out of the back alleys and protect the public and the prostitutes. See to it the places are clean, girls checked regularly. That they are not beaten up and/or killed by their flesh peddling pimps. Save other girls from being taken down a road they don't want to travel, but get caught in a web and can't get out of.

Tax it, get needed revenue from that source, don't raise mine. Just like the rich Church's why should they be exempt from taxes? We pay them on everything. Get health care for these women for their sake as well as the public. Educate them on being safe, as well as helping get general education for those that evenually want out. It may give these ladies a sense of pride to pay taxes, to have a job, not just be looked at as a whore. Many have children, help to get them into safe daycare, not left with 'a friend who's a junkie' because they do it for free. I know all of society will never accept it, but many will if its done right. They have to just be shown it needs to be legal for everyones sake.

What say you?

You got my vote for legalizing it.As you say it could be taxed and regulated that way.Regular health check-ups etc.
I feel the same way about the drug laws,its a vast underground economy which is creating all kinds of problems worse that the use of the drugs themselves IMO.
 
I think that there should be some sort of health check system first. For example, both the prostitute and her "client" have to produce some sort of health record to say that they are disease free, and it has to have a doctors signature.

Naturally, there will be forgeries, but it's better than the current laws.
