Inspired by another thread on Muslim prostitution I thought IŽd hear your view on the subject in a more general sense.

In Sweden all forms of P. is illegal. In for example Germany its a blooming, fully legal industry. Regarded, more or less, as any other employment. German Police are very critical to the Swedish system and here is why:

They argue, 1. Prostitution has been and will always be present. Men will be men and look for sex. There will be woman ready to perform for money. These are facts. 2. Legislation against P. will only draw the business into the dark corners, making it much more dangerous for the women. 3. Vice versa, legalizing P. draws it out in the open where the women can be offered a higher level of protection and even have a union taking care of salary interests and so forth.

Me, I tend to be pragmatic. If it were possible to prevent this extremely prevalent business, I would be all for it. I am however convinced its impossible not least for biological reasons (mens need for sex). Hence, perhaps better for the women going the German way.

What ya all think ?
