Should prostitution be legal?

[Pomniman]

Only if we collectively agree to summarily execute everyone who still calls prostitution "sex work" once it's legalized.

 

[Inco G. Nito]

It's disgusting amd morally repugnant, and that's why it should be illegal. We don't need any other justification.

I used to blow off people who would argue that you can't have morals without religion, but it has become abundantly clear to me that indeed some very stupid people are incapable of holding up a moral compass on their own.

 

[Male Idiot]

Yes, but only if each prostitute earns her degree by having sex with Chris Chan.

And we get to hear his autistic flirting.

 

[Ted's of Beverly Hills]

Fundamentally against the government being able to tell me what I can and can't do with the body God gave me, so it should be legal.

God calls “sin” many things you can do with your body, and “the wages of sin are death” - a spiritual death, an eternal sundering. Any coherent (non-sophistic) conception of God belies this argument - if Divine Law exists, it doesn’t sanction the freely willed sins you get away with under color of human law, it condemns them with hellfire. Free will permits you to make errors, but that doesn’t mean that the errors aren’t therefore errors and won’t incur Wrath eventually. Any law that enshrines sin because of free will, because of an inversion of the meaning of “God,” is a damnable blasphemy.

Woke """people""" and the powers that be consider normal and culturally conservative people to be disgusting and morally repugnant. Is that justification enough for criminalization? By your logic, it is.

 

[SSj_Ness (Yiffed)]

I'm a fat stinky autistic incel man-child with no social skills so I think it should be legal so I can finally lose my virginity.

Find a fat stinky old brown or black woman, they will be delighted to take it for free.

Fucking based.

So you should be able to throw wild punches in public areas, have sex on the street, and threaten people's lives. I mean, who are they to control your arm movements, you don't intend to hit anybody. Why should they control what you do with your cock or voicebox?

It's your God-given right to shoot up heroin while driving and shooting cum out the window.

I just wanted to bait the christfags with that part, you fell for it. I don't give a shit what any "higher power" says about my body. See you in Hell!

Your hyperbole is hilariously off the mark. Buying pussy is a transaction, where a woman is selling an asset and/or labor depending on how you want to look at it.
It's not drugs. It's not murder. In an ethical transaction without pimps involved, it's not rape. It's not violence. It's consensual sex for money.
The human body is not illegal. As a society we are expected to use our bodies to perform labor in order to survive. But we shouldn't be allowed to sell sex services specifically? Why is that? Muh morals? There's nothing immoral about having sex. Nothing immoral about selling labor. Why is it suddenly "immoral" when those two concepts are mixed?

 

[im5!XxhO]

Yes, it should be. Government should only ban the bare minimum necessary to have a somewhat orderly society. This doesn't apply to prostitution in all its forms.
I think it's fine for local communities to ban soliciting on public streets though. But banning it outright and in every circumstance is a bridge too far.

 

[Absurdist Laughter]

I believe it should be a state by state law if it were to be legal. I'm personally okay with legalization as long as their is a robust legal plan of action to keep people from being indentured servants. Making it legal would give pimped out women a little more protection and options. But, knowing how deep the criminality of prostitution and trafficking I can't give the benefit of the doubt that exploitation won't still happen. Perhaps a little middle ground compromise could be better? IDK, OnlyFans seems to be good enough now a day.

 

[God of Nothing]

lol, no
legalizing anything that constantly carries a criminal element doesn't make it better, ever

 

[Daddy's Little Kitten]

No. By Allah, whores get stoned.

 

[SSj_Ness (Yiffed)]

Your hyperbole is hilariously off the mark.

But if you're "against the government being able to tell me what I can and can't do with the body God gave" you then why can they force you to wear clothing? Or to not touch parts of your own body?

If you can't masturbate on a park bench you're oppressed by the government.

 

[Otterly]

No. Absolutely not. Yes it will always be around but legalising it leads to a huge increase in demand. There are not enough women to meet that demand, and you end up with trafficking, coercion and outright forcing of women and children into prostitution. It attracts criminal behaviour. There was a tolerance zone in Leeds a while back and it wrecked the area - women walking to normal jobs as teachers etc got men trying to drag them into cars. Women were being cruised and offered money for their babies as the pushed prams. Crime exploded - the police didn’t go into the area 7pm-7am. Needles everywhere. Awful. And lots of women and girls clearly trafficked
The zine was allegedly closed a while back and guess what, all the activity and problems are still there. It’s a residential area bordering a light industry one and there’s a primary school who now have a problem with punters chucking needles and used condoms around the site.

Legalising it should never happen. I know we will never get rid of it but it has to remain stigmatised and able to be prosecuted.

 

[JamusActimus]

In my country it's legal, they get tested regularly and pay taxes.

There's not much human trafficking or pimps because it's better to just be independent.

I always saw it as a pathetic exchange that work for some people.

Some people can't really get laid without it and other have 0 skill beyond getting fucked.

There's even whores that work with retards to give them sexual release or some shit.

It's not for me I can get sex the usual way and have impulse control but I get it for some people.

 

[Stan]

No and here's why:

Women are nearly always smaller than men and weaker for their size, so in nearly every circumstance, whores are vulnerable to violence from their clients. This problem is made worse by pimps, who ostensibly are there to "protect" whores from violent clients, but in practice, are just as often violent. If whoring was legalized, we could add the state to the list of parties capable of visiting violence on whores, say, by demanding excessive and invasive medical monitoring, by taking a cut of their earnings (as a pimp would), abuse of permitting and licensure, or forcing whores to work only in state-approved brothels (ie under the supervision of a state-approved pimp.) Not to mention police over-enforcement and selective enforcement towards whores, deliberately ignoring when whores are victims of violent crimes, etc. This this already happens, but I'm skeptical that legalization would make a difference in LEO attitudes towards whores.

I do not really think women choose to become whores because they want to have sex with gross strangers who can't get laid normally. They do it because they're hooked on drugs, which can be an extremely expensive habit to maintain, because they are victims of human trafficking, or they're put up to whoring themselves out as an act of domestic violence (the so-called "Romeo Pimp"), or some other circumstance in which the choice to sell your body this way is made less than freely. Why should we believe that legalization would change that?

Maybe male whores aren't subject to these things - I could believe that gay men might willingly choose to have sex with strange men for money, since some gay men are willing to have sex with gross strangers for free. But those man-whores would be a minority, because the vast majority of whore demand is coming from straight male johns who want to fuck women. Add to that the prevalence of gay men who are willing to have anonymous gay sex in bathhouses or bathrooms or whatever, which would further undercut demand for manwhores, and the knowledge that women are unlikely to want to buy the services of a manwhore (because they can get it for free, from men they know)... that leads me to believe that whoring is always going to be more of a kind of sexual coercion men foist on vulnerable women, than a type of career women would want or freely choose to do.

Find a fat stinky old brown or black woman, they will be delighted to take it for free.

If that were true there would be little market for whores - see: gay men and cottaging culture / bathhouse culture.

 

[Pomniman]

No and here's why:

Let's be real, you're just mad that they'd eat all the man ass and the buffet would be closed for you.

 

[SSj_Ness (Yiffed)]

I don't follow, what do fags have to do with undesirable women?

 

[Cherry Eyed Hamster]

If the US were a much smaller country and we were a more homogenized nation with a collective of similar values and a government that wasn’t so inefficient, I would be more inclined to say “yes”, however the United States is none of these things, and geography, open borders, and the highways would just make trafficking far more easy than it already is here, so I’m still gonna vote “no”.

 

[Stan]

Women don't need to get that sweaty, there's plenty to go around.

If ugly/fat/brown/old/undesirable women were so ready to have sex that they'd jump on whatever dick was presented to them, then men wouldn't buy whores. The truth is that women (even the ones you think are undesirable) are always in a position of having to be the sexual gatekeeper, and women tend not to just have sex for having sex's sake - they don't think all dick is created equal / "a hole is a goal". The potential negative consequences (pregnancy, STI, social consequences, violence) really really really discourage women from just fucking just anybody, which is why there's a market for whores in the first place.

Faggots however will do that, and it undercuts the market for faggot manwhores, because the men who would buy them will probably look for free options like bathhouses, gay clubs, or cruising guys in public restrooms first. So there's a handful of expensive manwhores, but the market for that is diminished because there's plenty of faggots who will do it for free.

 

[SSj_Ness (Yiffed)]

But men don't buy undesirable women, least of all undesirable whores.

The truth is that women (even the ones you think are undesirable) are always in a position of having to be the sexual gatekeeper

Not when nobody wants to be inside their gates, then they're much more loose with opening them.

Faggots however will do that

It's true that fags are even less discriminating than undesirable women, but they're both pretty easy.
