JustGav Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 Weird parallel you have drawn there......Are you calling gold diggers prostitutes then? Is she loyal to her man or sleeping around with many men? I suppose yes I am.... Don't they usual end up shagging the pool guy? *grin* Questions 1) Is this the norm for MOST prostitutes or just a select few (elite ones) cause it seems fairly organised / safe - whatever you want to call it. 2) That being the case, why legalise it? 3) If I'd have asked her what her line of work was, wouldn't that have been a give away.... 1. I can't comment on whether it is the norm or not, as I don't have invovlement or connection to that particular thing, only from what I know from here. (And this was a while back in a different country). 2. Just because it is illegal doesn't mean it won't happen.. we all know that. 3. I was referring to initial impressions, and I believe her usual answer to people she didn't know was 'I'm a lady of leisure'... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraStar 3000 Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 I say yes! - Give them free regular health checks to stop STDs. - A zero tolerance on A-class drugs (you take, your out). - Bonus incentives for good and healthy girls. - And safe and secure accommodation for girls to work and sleep. About time this country had something to be proud of. Lets have the best god damn sex industry in the world! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imi Posted December 16, 2006 Author Share Posted December 16, 2006 I say yes! What if it were your sister or your GF/wife? Assuming its legalise and all.....its a profession right.

Still dont understand how society can accept this form of exploitation. (love the way they spin in - its for the safety of the girls, honestly - ) All boils down to one VERY simple thing.... Supply and demand.... If there is a demand for something, someone will find a way of suppling it, regardless of legality.. Hmm, if I'm allowed to go off topic, regarding legality..... Do you agree with the death sentence, because I do, and it is itself a complete irony. A man kills someone, so we his peers tell him he is wrong for what he has done, and as such we shall commit his crime by taking his life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraStar 3000 Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 What if it were your sister or your GF/wife?. why would I want to sleep with my sister? Don't expect a mature and logical debate from me mate. My heads fu*ked and I'm knackered I honestly don't know is the truth. I can see both sides to the argument.

Surely its wrong for society to accept and encourage this..... People's opinion on legality is entirely separate from whether they would want their g/f / wife to do it. It's entirely legal for my g/f to f**k every bloke in the surrounding area. I'd still rather she didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imi Posted December 16, 2006 Author Share Posted December 16, 2006 Supply and demand.... that is a very cavalier attitude.... I guess Drug Trafficking should also be legalised then...... I bet it will be hard to figure out who the good and the bad guys are then.....guess we are struggling to see the difference in todays society....

michael Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 As a registered manwhore I'd love to see the trade legalised, I'm tired of standing in dark industrial estates waiting for passing business I'm not hooked on heroin or anything but I have a Supra habit.

imi Posted December 16, 2006 Author Share Posted December 16, 2006 It's entirely legal for my g/f to f**k every bloke in the surrounding area. I'd still rather she didn't. 1) She could review her charges and attract a particular market segment. 2) You rather she didnt, but its legalised (legitimate form of earning, taxable, with benefits, health benefits, housing and all) - she wants to earn big bucks....why and how could you stop her and why, its not wrong anymore is it (society has accepted it)? Isnt it double standards when you are happy for other girls to do it however when its your own sister / wife / gf / mother then its suddenly an issue..... Wonder who the new pimp would be.....

Perhaps, but it is the entire way society functions... Of course what is legal and illegal is determined by the people (oh boy, now I'm going to start the democracy arguement *grin*)....

Wonder who the new pimp would be..... No - I meant now, without charge. She could legally be a complete slapper and sleep with whoever she felt like for no charge at all. And this would be legal. My point was : You cannot use the argument that people would not want wives / g/f's to do it as an argument about legalising it. Note that I haven't voted - or expressed whether I think it should or shouldn't be legal. I don't necessarily disagree with you - but I do disagree with some of your arguments.

Surely its wrong for society to accept and encourage this..... I know where you are coming from Imi. It would destroy me if any of my family were involved in this trade. But why are you asking the original question...because of the recent murders or because of the moral issue of prostitution full stop ? Its been around forever, and it will be around for ever more. British law has tried to stop it on legal grounds and failed and a moral backlash from todays society would only get as far as the end of the high street. Prostitutes are employed by all levels of our society, the only difference being the price they get paid, the way they advertise and their quality of life. Legalisation and regulation is a bit like varnishing woodworm I agree, but it will save lives and hopefully reduce the victimisation and exploitation to some extent.

Its an open discussion. I am interested in other points of views, pro and against.. I believe its wrong and on that basis I am against it. Legalising it is effectively embracing it as an acceptable profession within society and from a moralistic standpoint I believe it is not the right thing to do. Earlier on it was mentioned that if legalised then they wont be hooking to fund their drug habbit. oh well, the girls that were murdered were on the streets to fund their drug habbit. so for them I guess atlease legalising prostitution isnt the answer. For the more "elite" type of prostitute as you mentioned earlier...I am still struggling to understand how legalising it will actually help her. If anything, she will be paying 40% tax on her earnings and will voluntarily go underground.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveK Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 Funny thing is - although I've replied to the thread several times, I'm not actually sure what my view is. I do think that legalising it would probably mean it was safer for the girls. And I don't actually have moral issues with it. To me - it isn't actually very different from one night stands - it's sex with no emotional attachment. The only difference being the money - and the fact that it often funds drug habits etc. But - I have had one night stands in the past. But I would not have sex with a prostitute. But I don't actually really know why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 For the record, I don't personally agree with prositution as I too see it as explotation, however being a realist I accept that it will happen and as such some measures need to be put in place to protect the mainstream participants (again those at the opposite ends of the spectrum will always be out side the law) In my view of the world, it is bad karma to have sex without love for the other person, but then I'm just weird.

Question... Were one night stands, sex outside of marraige, drug abuse, prostitution, crime, respect for elders, crime in general etc. etc. COMMON practise 40-50 years ago?
