Your view on prostitution, please

[Bleyseng]

Its also legal and regulated in the Netherlands. Amsterdam has a large Red Light district where the girls charge $50 for straight sex. The undergo weekly health checks aren't on drugs but most of the girls are frrom very poor countries (Vietnam, Romania...)and they do make decent money doing this. The clients are mostly the young English guys who come over to the pubs there to drink and get laid on the cheap weekend flight specials ($39).
Pot is also legal there and you can buy it in the Brown Cafes like beer. I did go in the Brown Cafes but only for the great food and beer. Good food seems to go with legal pot!

My view is that women should be able to have a legal place to preform sex for pay that is safe, clean and healthy.
Pot should be legal but regulated and taxed like beer. Heroin or Methodone should be free to addicts along with treatment.
Take the crime element out drugs and sex and all there is left is gambling.
What would the police have to do in all their spare time then?

i have never been with a "hired gun", but i think if it should be legalized. if it were more socially accepted, maybe the girl (errr, and guys) wouldnt feel so schitty about it. it would certianly be safer for both the worker and workee.

i would like to see pot legalized first.

Right now, as we speak, there is a prostitute in my bed at home. She does this because she has to. Long story. She is careful about it. She is beautiful and fairly young (32).

She also happens to be one of the most interesting and kind (principled) persons I've met. It is amazing how intimate brutal honesty is. I have learned a great deal from this woman in the short time I have known her. The relationship has been powerful for me.

She is not a drug addict. Again, one more time, this woman would absolutely kick the asses of almost anybody who thinks they are honest and moral. So, those of you who enjoy passing judgement without having the slightest idea what you're talking about......still don't leave much of a positive impression on me. But then gubmint and drugs and prostitution are some of your favorite subjects since you think you are entitled to discuss them without any actual knowledge.

This woman will fly away to another city next week. I am going to miss her very much. She has taught me a great deal.

And BTW, she and I have not had any sexual contact, and probably never will. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

A prositute's moral character (or lack thereof) has absolutely nothing to do with why I think it should be the lowest priority for cops or even legalized. Banning it obviously hasn't put a dent in supply or demand. Legalizing it wouldn't either. But legalization would probably take some of the residual crimes out of the business.

I can't do it - LOL!

for the gay/sailor crowd, there is always "Popeyes""

And let's not forget Star****s!

Leagalize it. The government will ruin it like every other business they use as a tax grab.

Supe,

Sounds interesting. Care to share more? I have known several ladies like this and all are direct, to the point and more honest than 99% of the rest of the world.

Some are running from life, running from being molested as a kid, drugs, the harley payment or just like the money. None of them that I ran into (friend of mine was a owner of a tittie bar and many of the girls "worked on the side" while there ) did it because they liked it and all hoped to retire or move on to another career after saving up some money and buying a house.

This "profession" will never stop and its crazy that its criminal. I just love it when the cops sieze the cars of the "john's" to try to stop things like this.

Legalizing either prostitution or drugs, especially considering the potential tax/revenue windfalls is far too logical/sensible for the RR-backed politicians in charge now. Hence, we will have (at least for the foreseeable future) what we have now - illogical and even stupid legislation that really benefits nobody and serves no useful purpose than appealing/sucking up to the control-freak types that want to impose their will and pseudo-morality onto the rest of the world. Sorry, but that's where 99% of this stuff comes from - religious brainwashing and an inherent belief that "we know what's best for you".

It's a sad commentary on a society that's supposedly about "freedom" and "liberty" when the wishes and opinions of a few outweigh not only those of the majority, but common sense as well. A victimless crime is not a crime, at least in my definitions.

[Kroggers]

Personally, I think prostitution is wrong! But we are talking about supply and demand - and as long as the demand is there, there will always be someone willing to supply.

But if you just give her the $200 and score, that's illegal!

Doesn't make any sense.

Ha ha! Never heard that, but it's soooo true.

Didn't Charlie Sheenan say that when asked about Hiedi Fleece? (man did I butcher their names!)

BS!

The Dems controlled House, Senate and Whitehouse and they didn't do a thing.

No one does this because it's a third rail where they might appear to be soft on crime.

all other answers are BS.

[Rick Lee]

AFAIK, prositution is not a fed. issue, so Congress has no role in legalizing it. It's a state and local thing.

[M.D. Holloway]

so is anal sex in 18 states - Buggery, crime against nature.

Spot on. Honesty practiced in a way that makes other "honest" people seem very clearly as though they are playing only games.

I'll share more, because this association has been so amazing. This woman uses prostitution as a way of maintaining her real calling. She is a muse. She goes where she is needed. She is needed elsewhere now. She coaches. She irritates. She soothes. She reflects. She holds a mirror up, and points it at me when I move. She does not know what is next. Only that she is being called.

This woman is unimaginably talented. And she sacrifices. She offers up. Right now she is a bit like Spock after one of those draining mind melds. Or like the Star Trek guest character that was an empath. Drained. Empty. Preparing for what's next, not knowing. Somewhat like what we Catholics do to ourselves during Lent. She is emptying out. Preparing. She's very scared.

Hard to explain, so I'll stop here at least for now. But I'll say one thing again: Nobody can stand in this woman's light and claim "goodness" or "service" or "honesty" or "courage" and not get struck by a lightning bolt.

If all of you imagine a reason why she and I have not done the horizontal waltz, nearly all of you would be wrong.

Thanks, Joe.

Hmmmmm. This sounds right out of "Time Enough for Love". Is this Tamara?
