Quote:Most of the reasons prostitution is illegal is to prevent human trafficking and imprisonment (think slavery). It's big business from what I understand in Russia and other countries. The sex trade is not a very honorable act. Also how disturbing these people can't find woman interested in them outside of prostitution rings? I've met lots of ladies at work and friends I get along with swimmingly, and while both of us know nothing will ever come of our relationship, should the issue be pressed I know I could win a few of them over, not that I want too.
Sorry, MEAT. That is utter hogwash. The main reason prostitution is illegal is because of the Puritan heritage we still suffer. Further, in my country, prostitution is not illegal. It is just fenced in with enough other restrictions to make it still a dangerous occupation and nicely hidden from the view of 'good folks'. :rolleyes:
Prevent human trafficking and imprisonment? The fact that it is illegal is what makes the human trafficking and imprisonment profitable and hence prevalent. :angry:
Notwithstanding your personal squeamishness with the topic or your personal ability to attract enough sex to keep you happy, this is the world's second oldest profession. There are plenty of reasons for people to choose to pay for sex, and not all of them have to do with lack of personal attractiveness.
