    Our bodies are the ones that demand money, we don't. Actually it is our bodies that demand food and a room, we don't. So it is probably fair that we put our bodies to work to make that money. In the school, we put our brains to work (in speculation for future profits). At a workbench/shop we work our hands. So, why not, we can put our entire body shapes to work too, if we can get paid for it. This is my humble opinion, but ... most people in the world would call my work hours dirty for that. So, discounting pimping (which is squarely criminal always), what would be the opinion statistics here at Political Forum? And why is using your shape a crime by enacted legislation whereas using your hand/had is not?

    As long as the Prostitution is willing, not made under duress, regulated so that medical precautions are taken and the spread of disease is eliminated then I do not see why it would be outlawed.

    Child prostitution is never acceptable regardless of "consent" or not.

    Forced prostitution is a form of slavery and is therefore never acceptable.

    Considering how prolific prostitution has been since...forever, it just seems that criminalizing it is a waste of time and money.

    Legally yes. Though not preferred method of sexual engagement I'd seek.

    It is legal here as well and it is by far my preferred method of sexual engagement.
    I am only doing freelancers with their own websites that don't use an agent.

    *In some societies prostitution even from a very young age is a matter of family pride

    I'm actually shocked and can't believe how most of you people actually voted a yes! How sad, how immoral, how pathetic, how selfish, how disgusting, I feel ashamed! Is this the kind of society I live in, (*)(*)(*)(*) them, I'll be looking forward to a WW3.

    What kind of society do we live in? How can you vote for a yes because it's their right/freedom and as long as it doesn't harm or affect us we should allow them to do what they want to do? Screw your liberty and so called freedom.

    Should we allow teenagers to consume drugs such as heroin because it doesn't affect us and is their right? Well if you think, bad drugs like heroin ruin health and lives and by preventing such drugs such as banning them or at least opening social awareness programs we are helping them and doing more good than bad!

    How can you people agree with prostitution? The only way you people can ever learn is if your loved one or friend gets aid from mating with a prostitute and dies or even better your own daughter joins the prostitutes, only then you will know how it feels like and will be beggining to re-edit your votes to a no.

    Most women who are prostitutes are doing it for the money and are forced due to current social and economical circumstances but by you pathetic people going there you are encouraging the pathetic low life business of prostitution and doing more bad than good. There are better ways to make 'money' by attending education and finding a good profession.

    Prostitution is like raping a woman but in a more mentally and Physcological pretext.... You are putting them down, (*)(*)(*)(*) u all who voted yes. I will have no remorse.

    We live in a capitalist society, which amounts to universal prostitution. I voted, 'Not acceptable, always' because I'm a socialist.

    Who died and made you the supremacist overlord?


    Haven’t ever bought the services but know plenty of people who have. It’s none of your business what two consenting “ADULTS” do, and it the very essence of liberty and freedom for them to have the choice you would so willingly take away. You should be ashamed of yourself.


    And no I wouldn’t want my “adult” daughter to make such a choice, but if she is an adult there is very little power to control that situation. I can only hope she has a better head on her shoulder’s and other opportunities available.

    One of the 'consenting' adults is usually extremely poor or in need of drugs, and usually both, and comes from a background where she was abused, exploited and treated as rubbish, as you know.. Consent my articulate anus!

    How low can you descend? You should be ashamed of yourself, not me... Prostitution has nothing to do with man and woman LOVE, it's about pleasure and exploiting others especially women with poor backgrounds, I'm talking about banning prostitution you idiot!

    With your pathetic logic why doesn't the government legalise heroin or bad rate drugs and allow teenagers to ruin their lives and health with bad drugs because at the end of the say it's their choice, freedom and liberty, how disgusting of you.

    You would allow the choice for prostitution, corruption and pimps when all prostitution is corrupt and has a pimp service whether their actual pimps dressed in pink or pimps wearing suits and looking like normal people, the rule of deception. Nobody can tell the visual difference between a chocolate gateau cake and a cake made of stool or sh1t.

    This is the kind of freedom you people look upon, how low and sad. Like I said, when the time comes absolutely no remorse.

    Brilliant quote, well done! One minute I want to exterminate all humans, next minute good people like you post good comments and I say there is good in everything but the good and right people are definitely the minority.

    Well, it is something that cant be stopped so people would rather make it safer and better. The problem I see with it is it's derogation of women, all women. To make something Legal that diminishes a woman's humanity is unacceptable to me, it just is. Once a person is diminished by giving their body to another person as a Toy,,,,WHAT'S LEFT?

    It is only natural that as the popularity of this form of trade is accepted all women will be looked at as less than equal,,,
    ''You want one?, just buy one.....'',,,,mmm, sounds like China to me...''Got too many baby girls?,,dump her!''

    1) You said it best: It is their right as long as it does not harm anyone. 2) Drugs should be legalized. Spending billions on enforcement does not work. That is why Prohibition failed. Yes, just like alchohol, establish awareness programs (or better yet, parents can teach the bad things about drugs to their children). 3) If it was legalized, Many of the bad sides of prostitution could be eliminated. With proper medical supervision, strict regulations (like requiring BC), it could be alot safer.

    Absolutely it isn't about "love", it's about desire, pleasure, and satisfaction. So you in your infinite wisdom would also outlaw consensual sex as well? Same difference isn't it? Woman meets man, man spends money, buys nice meal maybe a movie, and woman lays with man. Oh the agony. Can't she be a disease carrier? No wait, can't he be a disease carrier? Is a woman who desires sex, being exploited when she takes a guy for a ride on the dance floor, uses his body for her own selfish pleasures, then doesn't call him or chooses not to show any interest in him in the future?

    Idiot? You think you can eliminate consensual sex by having a law that says no, but I'm the idiot?

    First and foremost most of the exploitation, corruption, and abuse associated with prostitution, is because idiots who think they control other people's morals with legislation, make the situation worse. It's people like you that assure kids (which by the way I am not talking about) are utilized in such despicable ways with your idiotic laws of imposed morality. If it were legal most of the things that are associated with the criminal element of prostitution, would be eliminated.

    Drugs also the same thing. Should be treated just like alcohol and tobacco. Minors shouldn’t use them, but with these idiotic laws the best place to acquire illegal narcotics is at the closest elementary school or high school in the area. If they were legalized or at least decriminalized, the cost of imposing such ignorant laws would be much less imposing on the average tax payer, and the criminal activity associated with drugs would be reduced significantly. It has nothing to do with doing the right thing anyway. The laws are exploitation of the citizenship so selective industries can become rich through legislation. If they were legal and regulated like alcohol, the abuse would be limited to the few who are going to do it anyway. At least the doses would be consistent, and less lethal, just like the bathtub gin that killed people and made others go blind during prohibition days. Making it illegal only made them more dangerous. If they were legal they would also create revenue for the government rather than drain it. Why can't people learn from the mistakes we made during prohibition? It must be blind stupidity that makes us continue to make the same idiotic mistakes over, and over, and over…




    Some are but if it was legal 90% of the one's forced to enter the business would be out of it over night. Your way further enslaves tens of thousands each year.

    First of all it's your not you're so please improve on your grammar and secondly I was busy with something else and had no time to reply immediately therefore just disliked your comment. I always reply and will admit if I'm in the wrong but in this case I'm not.

    How the hell do you know banning prostitution will make things worse? Why don't you give me an example of a country that outlawed prostitution and therefore prostitution increased and went underground?

    You really think people are going to consume drugs or contribute to prostitution if there's a death penatly for it, do you think its worth dying for fake sex you ignorant man?

    To be honest we wouldn't need to do any banning our outlawing of so called rights like prostitution if we lived in a good society, because good people can tell the difference between what is right and wrong and prostitution is wrong, simple as that.

    If we ban or outlaw so called 'rights' such as prostitution we do it to baby sit people which I don't like but is necessary when society is swarming with morally inferior delinquents such as yourself. Sometimes you got to take the toy away from the baby for it to shut the (*)(*)(*)(*) up.

    In the mean time if we ban prostitution, parents don't even have to talk about it and by a few generations most people will not even be aware of such false concept. Why should somebody be aware of prostitution if he/she was born into a society without prostitution you idiot.

    Prostitution is growing in democratic countries as we speak thanks to pathetic swine like you allowing it.

    Some people in here need to watch Bunny Ranch from HBO.

    Prostitution is one of the oldest professions in the world and it aint going nowhere, whether you legalize it or not.
    People that sell their body should be free to do it, its their choice to make and not anyone else. It really doesn't get much more simpler than this.

    A good society will know prostitution is wrong, if you can't figure this out yourself and need a dictator like me to tell you this, so be it.

    I actually can't believe I'm having a debate over something which is so morally obvious.... prostitution is wrong therefore it should be outlawed never to be spoken of again. Let prostitution go underground because if you can't control your penis then we'll just chop it off.

    For example although we know cannibalism is outlawed, there are actually no or a very rare amount of cannibalistic people out there because the majority know eating other humans is morally wrong! Don't you people get it! If we ban prostitution the same effect will unravel and in two generations or so prostitution will be as rare as cannibalism!

    Where is this myth coming from that if we ban prostitution it will go underground and increase! For crying out loud prostitution and porn becoming more popular as we speak.

    Give me an actual example of a country that banned prostitution and because of that prostitution increased???? example

    Why should somebody be aware of prostitution if he/she was born into a society without prostitution?

    History dictates that anything you try and prohibit through legislation goes underground. You think the black market doesn't exist all over the planet?




    You would suggest killing someone for having sex they paid for with someone who wasn't being exploited and was willing to provide the service?


    I asked you a question before, would you also outlaw consensual sex between adults?


    Are you actually so gullible that you believe if prostitution was outlawed (which it is in the majority of the country) it would go away and there wouldn't be any sexually transmitted diseases? Next time you want to call somebody an idiot maybe you should look in the mirror.


    You also cannot be one of those foolish individuals that believes God fearing religiously inclined do not have sex outside of marriage or use prostitutes, are you? Honestly are you?


    Perhaps you haven't realized the concept of no name calling, idiot, swine, democrat, republican, etc… are all offensive terms when directed towards me. Let's try and remember that in your next post, or I suppose I will just get another dislike for relaying reality to someone who has such a limited understanding of human nature.

    I cannot think of any reason why it would be unacceptable provided we are talking about consenting adults. It seems pretty illlogical that you can have sex with anyone you want, but if they hand you a $50 afterward you suddenly can't. How stupid is that?

    It is odd to me that we live under rulers that think they can tell someone what he/she is allowed to do with his/her own penis/vagina (caveat above applies, of course).

    I have always lived in a city. In every place I have ever lived I could not classify it as "underground". It's right out in the open for the most part. Whether it's on the street, in a brothel, via an escort service or through craigslist or whatever. It's not hidden. The point is the same, however. You can make it illegal, but that hardly stops it.

    It's that supremacist mentality, thinking/pretending to know what is best for everybody else.
