Exactly. You can just get the number in the phone book or off the net, call, and then you just pick in call or out call. So yeah, it pretty much is legal, since it's pretty much being allowed.

There is tremendous moral reasoning why it should be kept illegal, and society should shun those who partake in the act. The more partners the average individual has over their lifetime, the weaker our species becomes, because the potential for spreading pathogens increases. I'm not even going to mention how prostitution breaks up a good many families. The line of reasoning you present is merely naive at best, and downright criminal at worst. Think it through. Peace.


Please cite sources for your imagined and made up parroted "proof".

OR be sure that you end with "in my opinion". Every one around here seems to have a complete lock on "facts" that come from no where.

I say this because several countries (england, netherlands, thailand, germany, japan, etc.) and the US state of Nevada have research showing that legal prostitution wouldn't impact society much at all, actually lowers overall rape, and provides income and tax that both help the government system and help individuals stay off welfare, and that when regulated and licensed, the instances of STD transmission is lower among practicioners than in the common population who spend all their time "hooking up" and trying to hide it from their partners, thus spending more time ignoring STD symptoms so that their partner doesn't find out.

Countries where prostitution is legal have much lower instances of child prostitution and human trafficking.
Can you think of "why" this is?

It's because when people decide to break the law, and they get away with it, it emboldens them. It makes them want to do it again. Similarly with Drugs.
So once someone hires a prostitute and the world doesn't end, they may keep doing it for awhile. But even after awhile that gets boring because a portion of the thrill is from being "rogue" in the first place.
When that starts to happen they start actively seeking New and Riskier encounters.

As a comparison, why do most people who drink alcohol socially not become heroine addicts? Most actually do become low level alcoholics because alcohol is a drug, and you get addicted.

Because booze is legal, and as long as they can go to new places, to drink, and get new types of alcohol, they can go their entire life without advancing up the scale of thrills.


Puritanical hypocritical axioms are not proof.

Good lord! What's with all of the assumptions on this thread?

Can you please point me to the evidence proving that drive-thru whore-houses are on the way and that no male is going to ever want to marry again should prostitution ever be made legal?

I'm interested to see why you're so convinced that this is indeed going to happen...


True. You do have a valid point. Drive thru whore houses are not on the way and was only meant as a joke but I can just imagine the good old entreprunership that will lead some creative soul to come up with the concept just like online sex or phone sex which were never part of the culture few decades ago
Who would have thought back in WWI or WWII that someday our kids will be playing on the computers inside the house playing video games on the internet instead of engaging in actual sporting events and retort to paid online websites for sexual needs and curiosity
Who would have thought that the online community will lead to busting of child pornography rinks around the world and that many crimes will be committed by criminals by sourcing information from social networking websites

Actually, prostitution is very illegal in Vegas. As it is in most of the most populated counties like Clark (Vegas), Washoe (Reno) and others. It is legal in some rural counties.

I'm always a one woman kind of guy as well, and always will be, regardless of the legality of prostitution...most guys I know would be as well. Yourself being yet another example, I was just confused as to why we were all being lumped in with "everyone else" that'll be running to these newly formed legal 'whorehouses'.

Prostitution is legalized, it's called the pornography industry.

I think you are exactly right....and this is a topic of discussion that me and a few buddies had at a bar just this passed Saturday night.


Heres my example:


I have dated many women, have some women that are just good friends, and have some women in my family all admit the same thing...sometimes a woman goes out with the 100% intention of finding a guy and going home with him to have sex. What do they want before? They want the guy to drop a little cash on some drinks....pay for some cover charges at a club....buy them dinner....or get a table in the VIP area of a bar or club to show off a little. In return the woman gets all hot and horny for him because he is flaunting a little money and she wants to go home with a guy who is attractive and is "showing her a good time". This might not be the case where other people live but where im from we call these girls trolls. haha They troll around until they find the guy they wanna go home with and latch onto him.

So my thoughts are why not just be able to cut all the bs, all the shots/drinks/cover charges/dinners...etc and just have a mutual business agreement that X amount of dollars covers whatever service. Its done, its paid for, everyone walks away happy.

Of course, being safe and healthy is up to both adults as well. Prostitution is something i most likely would never do but i think with as much free will as we have now a days this should be something that isnt illegal.

What matters is the end result and success ratio of marriage and studies in a child under stricter house rules.

Oh, good. Then you understand that there is overwhelming scientific evidence that verbal and physical harshness in parenting leads to unfavorable results in child-rearing, including higher rates of imprisonment and death. Even short of that, it's very clear that punishment generally results in the opposite of the intended effect. Here's just one sample from one study's abstract:


The relationship between parenting practices and behavior problems in very young children was investigated via the Parent Behavior Checklist (PBC; Fox, 1994). Results indicated that parents' use of verbal and corporal punishment was the strongest predictor of reported behavior problems...heldref-publications.metapress.com...


So unfortunately, your theory that permissive parenting leads to crimes like prostitution is more than just prima facie ridiculous, it's verifiably erroneous.



Perhaps in the US or few other countries where there are one too many special agencies or special interest groups with fake studies conducted by scientists and psychiatrists in general. But not in the other parts of the world. True it can be erroneous.

It's not legal, but you're correct that it can be easily had in the 21st century.

You don't think that weakening our species, and breaking up communities via increased divorce rates is wrong


Just bizarre, man.


You are of course assuming most clientele would be married men.

I do have to admit at times I do feel that way when the wifey gets on my case and when we go through a bad arguement.

At the end of the day, its all good and no grudges are held.

these comments make me lol

a women can choose to have a child but not terminate it before birth because in a free country we should be ruled by religion ?

a mothers business is not some ego driven religious madmans business nor his sheeps.

With that be said prostitution should be legal but should be handled as in the more sexually mature countries. then again all of the stay at home lunatics wouldnt have something to worry about instead of raising there own fat and lazy children.

1)Not everything in life is factual, but why should YOUR emotions dictate rule of law for EVERYONE. And once it is law, it becomes a fact. So having a factual basis becomes fairly important.

You obviously have some emotional issues when it comes to this subject-perhaps you ought to gt a solid understanding of the subject, it may help calm your emotions.

2)You have no right to force ANYTHING on another adult, in any sense. Again, it is a sad statement that you think so. I pity your wife.

3)You advocate spanking and yelling at kids. That is not discipline, that is an emotional outburst.
Abuse.

Again, its becoming more and more clear that you have some emotional issues....

4)Good.

1) I never asked anyone to follow me. I am not dictating anything to anyone. It is your insecurities that gives you the illusion.

You might be right. I might not know much about prostitution. You seem to know about it all and feel strong about the legalizing of the industry
Since when did you become a shrink to think that I have emotional problems ? Are you sure its not the other way around ?


3) Spanking and Yelling is all too normal in any family that have kids. Once again one has to be a parent to understand and experience


4) Glad you got the point that I didnt invoke politics. God and Politics are not my favorite subjects of discussion

If we were to legalize prostitution we would have a huge rise in disease. More then we already have today. Then it would provoke young adults to just sell themselves especially in this economy...Basically the world would turn into a huge disease infested orgy! Gross.


yeah, and what about free will ? You want to be sick ? OK ! they want to get sick ? OK !
who am I to tell them they have to care about themselves ???
I do NOT speak about children ok ??
we cannot accept some would harm them ok ?

but adult people, well, get drunk, get stoned, get sick .. you know the consequences or not ?
so, you decide just like a big boy !!
but if you get sick, well in Europ ( NOT in USA of course ) we still want to help you to recover ! Come on, come and enjoy Europ ! we are the champions, are we ???


( lots of sarcasm of course, but truth hurts anyway ..... lol )

Prostitution is not leagal BECAUSE the PTB cannot tax it. Same reason as marijuana. They can not keep tabs on it so they make it illegal.
