Do you think if a woman wants to be a prostitute she should be able to?

If she wants to sell her body, I think she should be legally able to. It would be much better for the women, I think, because then they would be more likely to go to the police over abuse and rape. Plus, it’d be easier for them to keep the money (though it would be taxed). And if it were legal, we could put in some standards surrounding STD testing and the like.

All in all, I’m pro-prostitution legalization.

I’m cool with guys doing it too.

Most certainly- people have sex for love, for gifts, for fun, for glamor; who’s to say they can’t do it for money?

Yep, her body, her time.

Hey….. be all you can be, I think if a woman wants to sell it, she should be able to.

Yep, and I think it should be heavily regulated.

Her body, her choice. I think prostitution should be legalized, taxed, and regulated.

Of course, men too.

@Jayne: it’s not having sex for money that’s illegal—that’s why we have terms like “sugar daddy” and “kept woman.” It’s having sex for money and being honest about it.

Yes, if she accepts the consequences.

@cwilbur, precisely; drawing the line on prostitution is arbitrary and even harmful. It is mere naivety to try to fight what has always been and will always be a part of life. In fact, we should go a step farther, as others have suggested, in not only decriminalizing prostitution, which allows abusive pimps etc. to flourish, but actually legalizing it, so that it can be regulated and made relatively safe.

A person should be allowed the freedom to do with their body what they choose so long as it hurts no one else.

they’re starting to regulate what we eat people…time to wake up

Regulation would breed corruption.

… because the system now is so awesome and free of taint?

@Garebo Can you elaborate?

I’m pro-legalizing prostitution.

My concern is that the government will abuse and enable prostitution for money. They will encourage it, and enable it, in order to sustain their existence and profit from it. So, one pimp for another.

See, I spend 8 hours a day using my brain to make other people happy, and that’s taxed. I don’t see why using other body parts should be any different.

@cwilbur: You go, girl go, and put that sweat equity into that new business and you can change your name to Heidi.

@Garebo: I beg your pardon?

It would be taxation without representation.

@cwilbur: lol4rl. ow.
