Do You Think Prostitution Should Be Decriminalized?

In the US there is a bill in the House of Representatives to decriminalize prostitution. What do you think about that?

I think they should concentrate on prosecuting the traffickers and pimps.

Ditto Simon, I think being FORCED INTO prostitution is a crime. I really don’t think if adults decide to have sex with or without a price, it’s anybody else’s business but their own. And if someone wants to get a massage that includes a happy ending, who cares.... as long as no one is forced into the situation.

It already is. When you take your woman out for a nice dinner or that vacation in the tropics you’re buying it.

Many countries such as Netherlands and Costa Rica have it legalized.

When traveling to either one of these countries, I never noticed anything really different than here in the US. The exception is, it is legal.

Nice looking women though, if I may say it. (In Costa Rica, even my wife said, wow!).

MINIMUS:

Even though it would be nice for it to be decriminalized, it will turn into a mess here in the US.

In smaller countries elsewhere, they have red light districts and it seems more orderly... But, people just wouldn’t obey the law here and you would have quality of life issues galore on top of all the other garbage!

Legalize and regulate prostitution. But, no child traffickers! Those things, and those running kiddie porn and child trafficking rings have forfeited all their rights to be here on earth and all other civil rights. Adult traffickers deserve life in prison, or the death penalty (depending on the circumstances involved in their trades)--and those who use deceptive practices deserve to be shut down. Hence, no setting up brothels under the guise of working for a supermarket or other place of employment, or forcing employees in such to do prostitution or lose their jobs.

And yes, it needs regulation. Out of control prostitution leads to bedlam. You get them in neighborhoods where they are going to ruin the areas. You also get drugs, which do not mix with brothels. And no giant holding company should be allowed to run these businesses--any conglomerate prostitution "business" needs to be stopped before they can create kiddie porn rings, forced prostitution, or trafficking issues as companies that are too big to be stopped. This means that Walmart cannot enter the prostitution business--they need to be kept independent but under regulation to keep them from becoming drug businesses or trafficking circles. And I am in favor of a minimum age of 18 to work as a prostitute, just as it is for regular porn.
