I fail to see how making adult prostitution legal reduces the black market for underage? Cmon people this is getting silly.

Simple-more regulation on the industry as well as the elimination of pimps and organized crime rings involvement.

It would still exist, but it would ABSOLUTELY be lower.

The reality of it is that not everyone is of the same value. A society that has this mindset is bound for dysfunction and eventual failure. People will be anything and do anything they want because they are still "special" no matter what and will not receive any flack for it. Give me a break. Our society has become so pathetic and emasculated.

Ok this is my last post to you, as you just shown your true colors with this post. You assign "value" to human beings, that tells me all I need to know about you. You think your time is worth more that other people's time, just because you choose to do whatever it is with your time, and they choose something else. Time is the only real commodity in this world, everyone's time is the most precious gift. Your time is worth no more than a digger's time, worth no more than a hooker's time.

Think about it... Right now, all prostitution is illegal. If someone likes 12 year olds, they might as well go for a 12 year old, they are risking jailtime either way, might as well "make it wirth the time", right? Now if they could legally buy a prostitute, have her wear a schoolgirl outfit and call him daddy or some such nonesense, instead of risk going to jail at all, I think a lot of people would choose that, no?

Saying this would not be progression of society is your point of view, not everyone else's.

How could anyone argue with the fact that a society that regulates a mainstream business where women are bought and sold as pieces of meat will produce males who view them as just that? Sorry, but I don't wish to be viewed that way. The sad thing is, most females who are legalized prostitution advocates DO seem to realize this fact...they just don't care. Money is more important to them and takes precedence over everything else.

Your distorted view of prostitution shows how naive you are. That's not blatant name-calling, it's calling someone out for what they are. You don't think someone could CHOOSE to dehumanize themselves due to lack of pride? Wrong. Or, since you think it's such an exciting, glamorous lifestyle, why not be one yourself?


Anyone who degrades themselves DOES suffer from self-esteem issues, no matter how you twist it. I'd bet millions they have a history of sexual abuse, whether or not they choose to admit it.




How exactly are they 'played'? When they're willing to pay for sex, they are not duped in any way. The only scenario I can think of is when women get married and have kids with a man and then file for divorce, and through 'no-fault divorce', get monthly child support and have the children grow up in dysfunction. Yeah..that's really something to be proud of.



Once again, I don't agree with molding the legal system in such a way in order to cater to deadbeats who can't get a real job. When women choose to prostitute themselves, they are willingly taking on all the risks that go along with it. The fact that prostitution is so ancient does not in any way legitimize it. Our society is supposed to be progressing.

I don't want to live in any society where prostitution is a mainstream 'business'. A society that values women instead of looking at them as replaceable objects is ideal.

Shortened the quote to your bits. If people want to they can go back and read my post.

Again, I am not naive. Why do you feel the need to act superior to me and others based on your own moral ideals?
You judge my friends without even knowing them. Nice.
You have not called me out for what I am as you appear to have the completely wrong idea about who I am.
If I was young and single and it was regulated, yes I would go into prostitution. I like sex. I like being comfortale enough to pay my bills and still enjoy life. Combine the two = Happy me.
You are wrong in your assessment of my friends emotional state and past. So worng it actually annoyed me that you would assume it and completely disregard what I said.

Just because you have a moral distaste does not mean you know anything about anyone elses state of mind.

Laws are adjusted all the time as part of society's progression. Legalising will not degrade society. It will stabilise one element of it. We live in times where we are free to enjoy life and that includes sex. Yes it is a meaningful union when you are in a loving relationship. In the meantime people are actually able to enjoy themselves through the medium of sex with people they don't have to be tied to. It is entirely possible to separate sex and love.

You may not like it but it's true.

The fact that you think Mother Theresa and Jeffery Dahmer are of the same value says a lot about YOU, dear.

You think your time is worth more that other people's time, just because you choose to do whatever it is with your time, and they choose something else. Time is the only real commodity in this world, everyone's time is the most precious gift. Your time is worth no more than a digger's time, worth no more than a hooker's time.

How people use their time most certainly does mean a great deal. I don't value time that is used for destructive, degrading activities.

We are here on Earth to experience Life. Our lives are just that, OURS, to live as we choose. Morals are religions way of dictating your actions and taking away your right to live your life as you see fit. If you sum up all the laws and morals it boils down to do what you want but cause no harm to others. Sleeping with who you want is and always has been a bet on the wheel. As for hurting families well lets put it this way, Your emotions are yours no one can give you emotions, no one can cause your emotions, they are yours based upon your experiences and learned responses. If you think you can control someones life you are sadly mistaken. People follow or don't follow the rule by choice not dictatorship. One makes the choices in their lives based on deterrents not because they must. Sorry I grew up in Nevada.

I can argue it. When women have complete power over sexuality and are free to do what they want with it they are the opposite of a piece of meat. A women under traditional morals IS little more than a possession to men who must be protected from the evil world not capable of making decisions.

In a world where women are not pieces of meat to be traded or protected they should be free to do whatever they wish with their sexuality. and if thy choose to leverage it to make a living that is shrewd and clever distinctly not what a piece of meat does.

By the way the only thing that hurts a sex worker is not their profession, it is not their clients, it is not the risk they take, but it is the real scum of the earth who wish to dehumanize them because of some made up reason which boils down to jealousy or fear and likely both.

I'm sure it makes you feel good (this is to all the dissenters) to mock and dehumanize a person just because they aren't following the rules you've always felt you need to follow. Those rules are yours and made up.

The greatest fear for you is what would happen if was made legal and the world actually became a better place? If that happened the core of your beliefs would need to be questioned. And you can't have that...

The fact that you constantly paint prostitution out to be this exciting, glamorous lifestyle indeed shows your naivety. I in no way tried to assert "superiority" over you. That seems to be your own insecure feelings arising.

If I was young and single and it was regulated, yes I would go into prostitution. I like sex. I like being comfortale enough to pay my bills and still enjoy life. Combine the two = Happy me.

Fine. But don't demand others have respect for you when you choose such a lifestyle. To me that's no better than the deadbeats who mooch off govt. welfare and I am entitled to think that way.

Just because you have a moral distaste does not mean you know anything about anyone elses state of mind.

Sorry, but you won't ever convince me that people who allow their bodies to be used up by strangers have a healthy, stable self-image.

Laws are adjusted all the time as part of society's progression. Legalising will not degrade society.

Males born into such a society will view women as disposable pieces of meat. But that's sadly already happened to a certain extent. Prostitution as a mainstream business will put the nail in the coffin. If that doesn't bother you...then fair enough, but I prefer to be respected as a woman.

Yes it is a meaningful union when you are in a loving relationship. In the meantime people are actually able to enjoy themselves through the medium of sex with people they don't have to be tied to. It is entirely possible to separate sex and love.

If you're having sex merely for the pleasure, why not just masturbate? Seriously, if you're not emotionally bonded to a sex partner at all, what is the big benifit? Masturbation= no chance of stds or pregnancy.

Ummmm because sex is better....thought that was obvious. Maybe that is the issue here....maybe certain people just havent had any really good sex.

Seriously, that would make sense.

Seriously, it's great cardio exercise for one, the exchange of sexual energy is awesome if you can tap into such things....

You clearly are not prepared to be a reasonable human being.
You judge harshly based on your own personal ideals/beliefs whatever you want to call them.
You invent things that people have done or claim they have alluded to, to add to your 'superiority' (yes, you ARE acting that way. I'm not the only one to notice it).
I have no superiority complexes btw. Quite confident actually.

I tell you what, lets see... do you know what I do for a living? I work in a Dementia care home. I feed people who have forgotten how to use a knife and fork.
I wipe their backsides clean when they poo.
I shower them and dress them.
I have the same conversations over and over and never get annoyed or snap.
I physically hurt myself in the process of helping them.
I sit with them for hours on end when they are in the 'end of life' stage of illness and hold their hand as they pass away.
Because I care about people. ( I can refer you to my company if you disbelieve this as well as everything I have said)

But no. Obviously I'm a bad person with no morals, no self esteem and am so naive.

You do not know people yet you judge them according to how you see fit. I'm sorry, it's 3am here and I'm tired and on the verge of getting annoyed. I have no patience for this. I'm done.

The problem is that in most countries the people are so sexually uptight that the only real sexual education they get is from watching porn or just doing what they know without experimentation which makes it boring, and trying new things fits into the taboo category. I mean how can you tell how much pressure to apply where from porn.

Wow nothing blatant about that personal attack. Can't this topic be discussed rationally without the personal attacks against people who do not share your viewpoints?

reply to post by Darkphoenix77


This poster is the definition of a troll. Dont bother responding....totally not worth it.

People just can't seem to handle the fact that people enjoy sex, even when it is just sex... I love the pseudopsychology people that claim strippers and porn stars are insecure. They obviously never dated one, and logic tells you, if you are insecure about yourself, you wont be getting naked in front of people for a living
