I can't find it on the internet right now, but there is a book out there that makes a compelling argument for legalizing prostitution for the benefit of women who are sex workers. The book compared data from countries were prostitution is legal and regulated to countries where prostitution is illegal. Women sex workers make more money and are much safer in countries where prostitution is legal and regulated. Incidents of human trafficking are also far less in countries where prostitution is legal. Women who work as sex workers in countries where it is legal often report very positive outcomes from the time they spent as a sex workers. Women make a lot of money without spending a lot of time at work. They are able to pay their way through college or support a family without having any of the time management issues trying to balance full time low wage employment with family/school. By contrast, women who are sex workers in countries where it is illegal often have to rely on Johns or brothels for protection and are overworked and underpaid because they have no ability to control their employment.
This ^ is the correct way to look at it.
Making it illegal basically creates an economic zone for criminals, organized and otherwise. It's basically like with alcohol, marijuana, etc. These kinds of things may or may not be bad ideas to be involved with but making them illegal certainly makes things worse.
Wow. Been a long time. I still agree with what I wrote above. My only issue with legalization and sex work is that there is an aspect of exploitation that legalization does not address. Women who do sex work can make a lot more money than they can working as a home health aid, pre-school teacher, social worker, etc. Legalization without addressing pay inequity for caregiving jobs and other traditionally female dominated vocations means that you will have a lot of women turning to sex work simply because it is financial necessity.
Legalizing it wouldn't mean our city landscape includes streetwalkers and brothels. The independent contractors would blend in to everyday life. For example, there would be certain upscale bars and clubs where guys know that usually friendly women can be found. This is how things are in Ukraine and Poland for example.
Just buy yourself a blow up doll or AI sex robot and keep your fetid spunk to yourself
