Should prostitution be legal?

I'm curious about other people's opinions on this, cause I honestly don't understand why prostitution is illegal.

Honestly I couldn't care.

But morally it's wrong.

Angry, judgemental young man. Maybe an outlet of some type might help. Go get laid for the first time. Trouble finding a willing partner? Might I suggest a whore?

And really, how does a guy paying for nookie (I never have) affect you in any friggin way?

Re: Should prostitution be legal?

No I don't like the Idea of women giving themself to disgusting men that could care less if they are dead. Men just want to screw someone. Thats what porn is for, to watch and masturbate. Have sex with your wife or girlfriend, not a random girl on the street.

Re: Should prostitution be legal?

Prostitution is a business like anything else. At least if it is legalized there can be standards like any other industry like the restaurant industry answering to the board of health or insurance agents and the commissioner of that state, etc.

Re: Should prostitution be legal?

I chose the second yes option, but I would agree with the first yes option as well. Classic example of a victimless crime.

Re: Should prostitution be legal?

You know, I have always wondered how many young, bright, educated young women from a good family, look at the future paths ahead of them and decide, "you know what, I'd like to be a prostitute". Maybe a couple. And for these couple, I fully support their right to prostitute their bodies. But most of them are poor, with little education or training and feel they have no other option but to sell the one thing they have left of vaule. I am not okay with that.
