Ok, prostitution is legal nationwide what do you do as far as regulations?

The only way legal prostitution has a chance of working is by following Canada's example, and Canada simply decriminalized selling sex. Brothels aren't allowed.

So there's nothing to inspect, nothing to license, nothing to tax. Legalized prostitution is nothing more than not atresting women who sell sex.

That is usually referred to decriminalization rather than legalization. I'm not opposed to it, since it is a privacy issue. but I am also open to a regulated situation if decriminalization is found to cause problems.

(I was thinking of brothels open the public for licensing, not homes. I'm undecided whether homes should be inspected.)

look for..bed bugs, fleas, body lice, clean sheets, lack of condoms, lack of facilities for washing up, people held prisoner...

I disagree. When RI accidentally legalized prostitution by removing too much language from the bill, things like being a pimp and street walking were still illegal, but the act of selling sex was not. That means places like Spas could sell sex. It took 6 years for them to reintroduce language to make it illegal again after it was found they did that. During that time, STD's got reduced, and the number of reported rapes went down. When it became illegal again, that trend reversed itself.

Viable legalisation necesseraly precludes brothels, as we see with Canada. If you're performing inspections then you're inspecting just wherever the woman happens to be when she decides to sell sex. Her home, someone's surprise bachlor party at the pub, the back seat of a car, anywhere.

For the same reason an infected person can legally go eat at a restaurant's salad bar but restaurants are required to meet a long list of health requirements. The same reason an infected person can to the dentist, but only the dentist is required to meet a long list of health requirements. It is a reasonable expectation that a person offering a legal service for money will do it safely, service providers should not make the same assumption about their customers. Just like medical workers, prostitutes should act as if every customer is infected.

You examples don't work because customers aren't eating off the same plate and mutually chewing the same food.

Restaurant customers do eat off the same plates and silverware as other customers, they just (hopefully) get washed in between customers. As I said, just like medical workers, prostitutes should act as if every customer is infected. Customers should assume the same about the prostitutes.

Nevada and Amsterdam have brothels that are inspected. Many cities inspect all massage parlors.
