For example I dont see how escort services anywhere causes a problem
 
I'm not very good at marriage. I've only done it once. That said, I have no objections to a past. It's the character and the commitment that matter to me.
 
Medical workers are exposed to far more diseases than sex workers.


Your answer is no

So what laws, rules and regulations to you want to put on adult prostitutes?
 
So what laws, rules and regulations to you want to put on adult prostitutes?

No street walking. They can be independent contractors. Monthly checkups. No pimps. Cant think of anything else right now
 
People that comment on it and haven't at personally observed it are just regurgitating what the media says. First of all a sizable number if not a majority of attractive Venezuelan women have engaged in prostitution. At least those women don't have that hardened personality that some do. The ones that only do GFE service are the least likely to emerge from their lifestyle undamaged. That means if a potential client initiates communication wanting something other than GFE, come up with an excuse not to do the transaction. The arrangement I ask for it to get the sex out of the way then make a HAPPY day of it. I make it clear that a good disposition is a MUST. Most are happy to fulfill that requirement. That means after a meal or perhaps a movie, she gets to pick out a pair of shoes or something like that. I tell her the price limit, something along the lines of 80,000 COP. It works out pretty good.

The going price for a whole day is 200,000 COP / 500 BOB / 100 CUC / 500 BRL, depending on the country.

Cubans are particularly interesting bunch. They are afraid of getting arrested for fraternizing with a tourist, but there seems to be little social stigma. They are comfortable with introducing their family. However, each family member proceeds to tell how needy they are. I'm OK with that, but I see how it could annoy some people.

Some Cuban chicas only work by the WEEK, with the going rate of $350, maybe $400 per week (about two year's salary at a state job). They are leery of getting the count of men they have been with too high. In that case, I expect extra services such as serving as a kind of tour guide that knows the best places to visit.

I haven't tried Argentina or Paraguay yet, but they are on my list.

Americans have somewhat ruined Mexico, getting a consort by the day doesn't seem to work so well.

I kept it private hoping then people vote truthfully.

The purpose of this thread is to see how many people expressing opinions on prostitution do so from direct personal experiences or from what they believe from what they have seen on TV and in the movies.

I got it you hate women and have violent sex fantasies so assume all.men do.


Who are you to speak for adult women?

Obviously you claim you do.

Apparently you make a compelling case why there is no need for any government assistance of any kind for anyone over age 18, other than the physically disabled. Any other adult only needs enough money for a 1 way ticket to Nevada and go the brothels. There they will be told their age, weight, appearance all are irrelevant and be hired. Then this woman would no longer be doing $10 BJs in the trailer park, but knocking out $10,000 to $25,000 a month having fabulous sex with fantastic guys:

Someone should tell her that a fabulous life is awaiting for her in Nevada. Becoming rich FAST. Fantastic sex with fantastic guys because that's who goes to brothels, Guy who are a 10 looking to pay top dollar for women who are a 2.

Maybe you should hand out flyers to every adult women you see at a crummy job to inform them how easy and wonderful a life they all would have as a brothel prostitute.

Dude you just make up stuff. Its nuts.
 
So what laws, rules and regulations to you want to put on adult prostitutes?

Joko104, you have to admit that prostitution has and will always exist.

There are inherent dangers in nursing, schools, prisons, policing, military, sports, etc, etc. We as a nation do not outlaw most dangerous occupations because they do not have a moral/religious connotation to them.

I really would hate to say this, but prostitution will one day be legal. there will be established, clean, qualified agencies to enter for some fun whether one is a 250lb man or a 100lb woman. We will not ever alleviate the corner drug addicts and pimp driven hookers thru laws. That will take a drastic community intervention which requires families, friends, community to be more connected and caring.

I truly understand your concerns and critiques of prostitution, but you are really identifying the bottom rung providers and ignoring a large quantity of women/men successfully meeting for a mutually beneficial transaction.

Example would be the college women subsidizing their tuition bills with a sugar daddy.
 
One weekend my (now ex) wife and I met my mother and father in New Orleans. This was years ago when jazz was still very much a part of the French Quarter. It was before they destroyed the Absinthe House and turned it into an alco-smoothie bar for mobs of kids who don't like jazz and don't appreciate fine food.

We listened to great jazz until my mother and my wife were ready to go to bed. I was not. My father decided he'd walk back with the women and everyone insisted that I stay and listen to jazz. I did.

Around 1.30 AM I began walking back to the hotel when from the darkness of a recessed store front a hooker walked out and said hello. I said hello back. She asked me where I was going and I told her back to my hotel. She asked me where I was from and general BS questions.

Hooker: So are you up for some fun.

Me: Sure.

Hooker: What hotel are in staying in?

Me: The Monte Leon.

Hooker: I usually know the doormen there. I can probably get in if you want to party.

Me: Well, hell yeah.

Hooker: OK? You're up for it?

Me: Yeah, but I'm in a suite with my wife and my mother and father.

Hooker: Well, 4 people are going to cost you extra.

Me: Never mind.

Hooker: That's OK, I knew you were a cop anyway.

Me: If I am a cop you have to be the dumbest hooker in New Orleans to proposition me.

Hooker: I didn't proposition you. I was just ****ing with you. I knew you were a cop the minute I saw you.

Me: So you knew I was a cop from the start. How did you know?

Hooker: Yeah, I know you are a cop. I can tell.

Me: Really, what do cops look like?

Hooker: You. :lamo

My family loved the story the next morning at breakfast.

What about fat, ugly old women? Many unattractive women are prostitutes too. Most prostitutes are not very attractive. Some are particularly not attractive. Not all are young either. Some are quite old.

Most pro-legalization posters are thinking of beautiful, intelligent and emotionally secure women that could be models - and keep context everything as beautiful smart and clean women working in a top dollar brothel making hundreds of thousands of dollars a year have sex like on dream dates with the Mr Right for a short time.

Any woman wanting a lucrative career would be an idiot going to college and getting a professional degree. Just go be a prostitute for 4 years, save the money, invest it well and retire in the top 10% economically. Every woman could do that, probably young guys too.

There really is no intelligent debate with those of that perspective.


That's not what prostitution is for the most part. Beautiful, intelligent and emotionally secure women don't need to be a prostitute to pay the bills. But some poor, stupid, ugly and messed up druggie women do. Most prostitution is at the bottom end in costs and quality - both sides.

As I have often stated, most people post on this topic based upon Hollywood portrayals of prostitution that they sanitize and stereotype. They are all young. All pretty.

Until you get to the cop shows. Then they are all sleazy, poor, victimized and probably at least one of them is going to get murdered. But how can they do that? A young woman is never safer than going off alone with a strange man who picked her up off the street and twice her strength, on top her for sex - or so they seem to claim. And certainly the man is safe going off to somewhere with a prostitute and his wallet.

You have never seen porn.


Beautiful women.



Its prostitution on film
 
I would consider marrying an ex-prostitute.

I'd just make sure he was cleared of STDs or we would always use a condom.

Is there something this poll is supposed to reveal about a prostitute's character? About people who use the services of prostitutes? People who know and care about prostitutes?
 
Usually I make polls public. I'll make this private for obvious reasons. I won't editorialize in this OP. The poll speaks for itself. (Hope I can do it in the 5 minute limit).

Private, MULTIPLE CHOICE poll. Check all that apply to you.

I have no issue making it public at all, I think I already mentioned it previously. In the Netherlands I have occasionally (albeit a very very long time ago) visited a prostitute. I was single, shy and lived relatively close to the Red Light district in Amsterdam when I was working at a Japanese engine company. In the weekends we sometimes visited Amsterdam, primarily to go to a good hard rock pub (not the horrid actual hard rock thingy, their music sucks) which was also situated on the Wallen (red light district) and at the back of the Red Light district we sometimes went for a meal because some of the best restaurants were situated there.

I however would have never gone to one if I had been in a committed relationship, because that would be the ultimate of betrayal, I detest men who cheat on their wives. But as said, that was at least 25 years ago.

Legal prostitution where health checks are mandatory, registering is mandatory, condom use is mandatory and pimps are no longer allowed is a much better system to weed out trafficking than keeping things secret and under the radar of police and society.

Do you think any of the women in the link below make even tens of thousands per year? Hint: They will cost you about $150 per day / $700 per week (it's a bit more expensive there in the capital city than other cities).

No, not at all. The Poll is just a poll not trying to make a point by the poll or questions (I know how rare that is on this forum). Messages have a point, the poll doesn't.

I have no idea and no reason to care. I will say those are not beautiful girls to me. They're not ugly, but they do nothing for me.

Even if I were to ever hire a prostitute, never in my life would I hire one looking that young. Even when I was young myself. Everything about how those girls look is a turn off. Plus they're less than I have had and have, but each has their own tastes I suppose. Just being honest about it.
 
There are no options that fit my situation: I have never had sex with a prostitute, and I won't in the future.
Why didn't the OP include this option, someone who never considered sex with a prostitute and never will? I'm quite sure that there are other people like me out there.
-----------
The reason why I haven't done it is simple. It's not some sort of hyper-moral stance or religious or conservative views. It's simply because all my life, I always had sex with girlfriends, starting in high school, college, and grad school, and with no exception (including when I was a high school kid), all my girlfriends were more than willing to have sex with me. I never had a non-sexual relationship with a girlfriend; sooner or later we had sex. This being the case, why in the hell would I pay for a business-like (cold), non-loving prostitute full of STDs, when I could have sex with my beautiful, loving, clean girlfriends, for free??? I also had some one-night stands in college, picking up girls in parties or bars, but that was relatively rare. Sure, regarding STDs, they also exist among high school, college, and grad school girls/women, but I guess I simply got lucky (sex with these girlfriends was mostly unprotected - or it turned unprotected once a committed relationship got going - but believe it or not, I never got a sexually transmitted disease - the one night stands, I always used condoms). The vast majority of my sex partners were also romantic partners (meaning, I was in a relationship with them; with the exception of said one night stands). Then i met my wife and married her. I'm 100% faithful to her given that I very much love her and I'm 100% happy with our sex life. We've been together for decades, we continue to love each other, she remains beautiful and sexy and classy as she ages, and the thought of cheating on my wife with a prostitute (or any other woman) is absolutely repulsive, and it simply is not going to happen. And again, this is not because of any religious view, etc. - by the way, I'm an atheist. It's simply because I love her and wouldn't want to cause her any pain, or to risk our excellent relationship. Have I had temptations? Yes. Have women tried to seduce me after I married my wife? Yes. It happened again just three weeks ago. But I always said no. I just can't hurt my wife. She doesn't deserve it. I admire, respect, and love her too much to act like this.
-----------
I'd be curious to know how many people here, or what percentage of people, share my situation, but unfortunately the OP didn't think of including this option. #4 is the closest, but it does include that I'd consider having sex with a prostitute in the future, and no, I would not, so #4 doesn't entire apply to me.
-----------
Then there is the option "I have hired sex indirectly via buying the other person stuff" - I wouldn't check that either. Sure, I've wined and dined women in dates. Sure, the stereotype is that the guy is doing that because he wants sex. I never felt exclusively like that. Did I want sex? Yeah, absolutely. But not exclusively. I always wanted my date to have a good time, and was willing to get to know her as a person, and if a sexual relationship then developed, great, why not? But I don't think that being a gentleman and picking up a restaurant bill is equal to "hiring sex." And sure, I've bought gifts to my girlfriends and to my wife. But that's because I loved them (girlfriends) and love her (my wife) and want(ed) her(them) to be happy and enjoy the gift. I wasn't doing it to buy sex.
------------
Finally there are the two options about marrying a prostitute. It doesn't apply to me. I'm already married and my plan and hope is to stay married to this one wife, forever. I don't want to divorce her and marry someone else, so I have no opinion on this hypothetical question that is non-applicable. I wouldn't consider marrying any other woman, so I guess this includes prostitutes as a sub-set of all women... but that's not the spirit of the question, so, I'll pass.
-------------
Does it mean that I can't have an opinion on prostitution? Absolutely not. I liked the answer of someone here who said he hasn't been to war but has an opinion on war. I can't play professional-level football but I can have an opinion on NFL teams and players.
-------------
Prostitutes as friends? Sorry, I can't think of any friend of mine who is or was a prostitute, at least, not that someone ever confessed this to me. Would I consider a friendship with someone who was or is a prostitute? I guess so; why not? They are people too, right? But something tells me that we don't tend to frequent the same environments.

CONTINUES BELOW DUE TO 500-WORD LIMIT
 
CONTINUED FROM ABOVE DUE TO 500-WORD LIMIT

The only situation in my life that made me be in touch with prostitutes is my profession. Without disclosing details here, in my professional capacity I have had clients who had been prostitutes in the past, and needed my help in other (non-sexual) areas of their lives. I provided that help with no prejudice whatsoever against them; did my best to professionally help them just like I did and do for any other client. These were rare, too. I've encountered a handful, in my professional capacity - a few women who disclosed that they had prostituted themselves at some point to pay for drugs, or to feed their kids, or to pay tuition. With one exception, they didn't seem to be any different than my other clients, otherwise, except that they unanimously said that the experience was traumatic and embarrassing. I don't recall any of them still being prostitutes. They did it for a while, then moved on. There was one exception: I had a client who was no longer a prostitute when she needed my services, but later, resumed prostitution after she ceased to be my client. I heard it from a colleague who assisted her later. It's interesting to notice that this one was the most damaged one.
-------------
So the bottom line is, my opinion is that prostitution should be a legal profession, regulated, taxed, with health inspections, like it is in some European countries. This would likely decrease the stigma, make the prostitutes safer (from pimps), decrease human trafficking, and make their clients safer from STDs. It would also generate taxes for the state. It would also make it easier for them to get help if they needed help, in case for example of an abusive client, a pimp, a disease, or a legal problem. I'd keep pimping illegal. I wouldn't make buying the services of a prostitute, illegal, like in Canada where the prostitute is decriminalized but the John is not. I think this idea is paradoxical. Why would we arrest someone who buys a legal service? It's absurd. An analogy: let's imagine that making and selling TV sets is legal but buying a TV set is illegal... Hm... how would that work? Then, why make pimping illegal? Well, it's a bit paradoxical too. If it's free enterprise, a businessman might want to manage an escort business or a brothel and so forth. But the exploitative aspect has been so traditionally mixed with this mafia-like business, that for the protection of the prostitutes, we might want them to be able to legally incorporate in a cooperative model, but without non-prostitutes exploiting them and managing their business. I'm not sure how to make this work, legally, but my opinion is that the prostitute's activity should be legal, the John should be allowed to buy her services, but the pimp should not be allowed to exploit her. Making pimping illegal would also give the legal framework for law enforcement to prosecute human trafficking.

So, I have never used the sex services of a prostitute and never will, and I have never befriended one, and have only encountered a limited number of them in my professional capacity, so my experience with the topic is not great, but that's what I think.

Well, it depends. I agree with you that most look too young. But if you click on the one on the first page called Thais Roque Arce to see her other pics, she is very pretty. The front picture she chose is not even her best; the third and sixth ones when you click on her page, are the prettiest. She really looks like a "girl next door", she is lovely.

It is true that most of the others on the first page don't appeal to me either, except that I'd say that this Zuleika looks way more vulgar than Thais but does seem like a sex volcano. Sex with her would probably be fun.

Both are 27 years old. I agree with you that the ones looking like underage girls are a turn off.

Edit - OK I kept clicking. It's very interesting. The young and pretty ones are pretty much limited to the first three pages. The most stunning one is on page 3, her name is Cynthia. Again, her front picture is not her best, but look at the others.

But then, surprise... click on page 4 and on, and they turn old and ugly! More and more! So this service wants to attract more customers, and they put all the young and pretty ones (for those who like the type - you and I don't, I only found 3 of them attractive) on the first 3 pages... and then, later on, oh my God! LOL

Anyway, my curiosity didn't compel me to get passed the first page. And other than Thais for her lovely looks, and Zuleika for her body, I didn't find any of the others attractive.

Remember that it is Cuba. The young and pretty ones are absolutely available. The only drawback is that the young and pretty ones do goofy things like throw a fit when they don't get their way on something. I remember one chica that wanted this dress, it was about $35, no big deal, but she like threw this tantrum until I got it for her.

You wrote: "So the bottom line is, my opinion is that prostitution should be a legal profession, regulated, taxed, with health inspections."

Simple question exactly NO ONE will answer. What do you think should be done to prostitutes that do not comply with any of all those regulations and can not/will not pay any fines.

Jail or no jail? It's got to be one or the other. If no jail, all those regulations are worthless. If jail, then it is all but certain you want to far more punish and jail most prostitutes than now.

Jail or no jail for refusing to comply with new regulations and rules?

Jail or no jail? It's got to be one or the other. If no jail, all those regulations are worthless. If jail, then it is all but certain you want to far more punish and jail most prostitutes than now.

Jail or no jail for refusing to comply with new regulations and rules?
What do we do to any other professionals who refuse to actually comply to laws surrounding their profession? A lawyer who has been disbarred but continues to practice law? A doctor who loses his medical license or who doesnt have a degree at all but tries to practice medicine? Someone who refuses to get a license to sell liquor?

Jail or fines.....like the construction contractor who breaks the rules. Same model.

Why are you thinking so black and white? Generally, not complying with one's profession's rules and regulations doesn't end up in jail time but rather in sanctions (often temporary and fixable) to the license to practice, issued by the regulatory board. The countries that have legal prostitution are not jailing non-compliant prostitutes by the hundreds, and the overwhelming majority practice within the rules. Now, if someone persists in practicing outside of the regulations and without a license, yes, ultimately the person might face jail time. But there is a gradation, until it gets to that point.

Oh, and NO ONE will answer, you say in all caps? It looks like you've collected already three very sensible answers.

What you are bringing up is not an impediment to regulating the profession. It happens to all professions. A fringe will always try to skip the rules, and they'll be dealt with.
