It's higher education of the horizontal variety. About 25 sex workers went to a college of sorts, sitting through lectures on effective marketing,
stress reduction and condom-application skills.

SAN FRANCISCO - "We are still illegal," instructor Kimberlee Cline said before her 20-minute demonstration. "If we want to be treated as business
professionals, we need to act ethically within the industry."
Other cities, including Tucson, Ariz., Portland, Ore., Montreal and Taipei, Taiwan, have similar events, said organizer Carol Leigh.

There's not much more to say about this one. One thing i can say is WHY?

Well, why is it illegal to sell something that is legal to give away? I've been to Amsterdam and seen it work. I see nothing wrong with prostitution
and have no desire to frequent any.
I do think it would stop alot of rapes and pyschopathic murderers. They could get the release they needed before turning into lunatics. Plus, look at
how many women get screwed over being in honest relationships. Why not let her make some money? If shes young and hot and wants to make a few bucks,
who am I to complain? More power to ya!

It might do em some good. Learn about STDs or predators. I would rather see it be a regulated industry than pimp-run. Hell, I'd give em a union.

Would this college have a practicum policy somewhat like these beauty schools where you can go get a haircut for less than if you were actually
visiting a professional establishment?
That would be great, cause I'm broke.

Butcher, baker or candlestick maker, the more you know about your job, the better you do your job. This is a VERY!!!!! dangerous profession for the
worker, but also for the client. Any knowledge gained from a class or seminar is of value. For street walkers in particular, if you can
avoid disease, you don't spead disease.
This is not going away. The law can't stop horny people from getting together. God knows the Catholics have tried!!!!!
I hope these classes have been helpful and informative, and the sex trade worker has come away with
more knowledge to enable him/her to do their job more safely, and to increase their income.

And, as for the "hands-on training..."
How hands on is this training? Is there a list where you can sign up to be a lab assistant, TA, or an active participant in the study of the fine art
of hooking?

Most of the prostitutes I have seen they are all ugly.
I did a search for Las Vegas brothels once and looked at the women "Selection" and they are hideous.
I dont think we should be promoting these people to have sex. There has to be a law against it. They are bogus disgusting.
I have nothing wrong with paying good looking women for their company, sexual or not, but just the thought of legalizing ugly people to have sex for
money is something I cant do.

Dear Obfucucios,
your post is most entertaining. I think you should look in other places to be fair in your judgement, really. Some people in the above posts
referred to Amsterdam, so maybe you should just get on the plane

The In Death book series by J.D. Robb has legal prostitution, Licensed Companions. Tested for drugs, STDs, have to get a license, so forth. It
sounds good to me, keep the pimps, stds, and drugs out of the business.

That's the one profession that should be legal.
Look at Strip clubs for instance, Sure - It's all show and glitter, But when you leave you are Drunk, broke, and excited. That to me is a potential
problem for women, much more so than prostitution. If you could drop what you would in a strip joint on a hooker she's happy - your happy. It's a
Win-Win situation. With the added benifit that violent crimes would be reduced. (ya, its nuts that you can't charge for it but you can give it
away..
Isn't dating the same thing? You buy her dinner - take her to a show and get a reward. At least the hooker is honest about it).
