I noticed there are a bunch of Asian message parlors in my city now and you know that whole stereotype about Asian message parlors offering happy endings? So I actually thought about it for a second and doesn't keeping prostitution illegal cause a bunch more social problems than legalized prostitution and the opportunity for adultery? Like

* Diseases
* Organized crime controlling the market
* Sex slavery and human trafficking

Why shouldn't I be able to pay a perfectly consenting adult for a quick hand job? Why does this arbitrary limit on my personal happiness exist? Does anyone here actually support keeping prostitution illegal?

The only two people who probably want to keep it illegal are serial killers and extreme Christians.

On a sidenote: I think laws like that set arbitrary limits on personal happiness based on religious morality do more to make a populace bitter and resentful than bring people and communities together. I do think that a good chunk of violent massacres and other 'senseless crimes' could have been prevented if we allowed young people the ability to drink at 18, or see a hooker legally at 18, or smoke pot with their friends on the weekend without fear of getting arrested.

There's really no good reason for it to be illegal. Honestly, what's the difference between paying a hooker and taking a girl out to dinner and drinks? You expect the same result either way.

Supposedly in Thailand it's legal and they're all very clean and shit since it's regulated.

Legality of prostitution doesn't reduce sex slavery/trafficking in persons. It might reduce some of the other collateral effects (organized crime et al), but not the last bit.

I had a fuck buddy who worked as an Escort. Although I didn't know she worked as an Escort until way after the fact.

So therefore I was legally having sex with a "hooker" because I wasn't paying for any of it.

Best sex ever. And don't worry, I wrapped that shit.

I could drink at 18.
I could also get a hooker or visit a brothel at 18 too.
Only thing I couldn't do legally was smoke pot...

Legalizing prostitution would definitely reduce the spread of venereal diseases among the sex trade if it was properly regulated (both regarding prostitutes and customers).

Human trafficking is another issue entirely, however.

I just think it's funny that porno is legal but prostitution isn't.  I can't pay you for sex unless I choose to tape it and sell copies of it afterwards.

What I find just as funny is you can legally have sex at 16, but can't watch it till you're 18

Where is it like that?

I just learned something recently. Apparently in California you can be 18 and have sex with somebody 2 years younger. I thought it had to be 18 and 18.

Also, why are some porn sites 21+ ?

Australia for one. And as far as I can tell lots of other places too, such as the UK, Canada, New Zealand, a lot of Europe. But you'd probably have to check with the locals.

Maybe not, but for "private entrepreneurs" it would mean:

- Paying taxes.
- Being eligible for pension.
- Taxing VAT for "services", I.e. running a business.
- Getting loans.
- Labour union.
etc.

Basically, being in the system.

Trafficking/slavery could be reduced by a saturated market. Once legal prostitutes (with obviously a higher status than illegal ones) would be in the market, who would do an illegal one?
