Legalized Prostitution

Should prostitution be legalized? Why or why not?

we know it's the oldest profession. and it is NEVER going away. but today it is driven by drugs, most prostitutes are addicts needing money for a fix or crack , or a pimp. forget "Pretty Woman". that's a false image of the reality of dirty street life and AIDS and death that i see. 30 year old females who look 55. emaciation. murder, as they are vulnerable to the serial killer trucker culture that is rampant. maybe 1% is high-priced and "classy". the rest is down and dirty and consumed by disease and drugs. and producing crack-addicted babies by the score. if you are talking regulated nevada prostitution that's one thing, but for the rest of the country, it's the road to DEATH.where does the hooker go after her "charms" fade? and in fact the nevada experiment wasn't all it was touted to be. the "girls" were society's throwaways and always will be. if anyone thinks regulation and legalization will solve societal problems i would strongly disagree since only a certain element would apply. the females are not only trying to survive, it's 90% drug-driven today. which is not the road to survival or a happy retirement. or grandkids and normalcy. with few exceptions.i.e. the ones who get out of the life very early. before they are ravaged by disease, drugs, prison and males who kill them.

even if prostitution is legalised then it will still have a stigma attached to it and i don't think anything is gonna make it 'acceptable' in society.

Amsterdam seems to control the prostitutes & brothels ok. Can't ever see it being legalised in the uk though.

I do not think that prostitution should be legalised, as that would only help the spread of HIV/AIDS.

why should it be legal to be a HOME WRECKER??? People, as there are men too who provide sexual services, have no feelings...you just don't share your toothbrush with the world? the industry DRAWS its own kind, a very low level of life..smells like a STINK bug to me.

Prostitution was finally made legal here in New Zealand (population 4 million) in June of 1993. It decriminalises prostitution and establishes a legal framework around the sex industry, with licensed brothels operating under public health and employment laws..People connected with the industry are called sex workers.

I am not sure of anywhere in the Uk that has "Legal" prostitution, I do know however that ceratinly Edinburgh and Nottingham have a sort of Look the other way policy.
No law will ever stamp out sex, some people look for it in prostitution always have always will. Do you want it regulated in some way and kept out of residential areas and schools. Regulated may also take away some of the pimps and other criminals who earn off the girls.
I honestly believe that there are some dangerous individuals out there who if not able to pay for no emotion sex would start comitting crimes on unwilling females.
As for the "Home Wrecker" tag I am sure working girls are just lining up to settle down with the next man who pays them for a back street "Encounter".
As ever Ladycop you give us the truth about what actually happens, I just do not think you will ever stop it so do you drive it further underground or shine a light on it.
