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:

Humm, perhaps. I can't seem to find any examples of legalized prostitution where human trafficking is involved on the net so you may be on to something. Kind of reminds me of America's war on drugs :whistling:.

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.

Ugly people can have sex too. I'm not implying you must be attractive to 'attract' a member of the opposite sex. I'm simply saying I think it's much easier to find someone willing to shack up (money excluded) than people who pay for prostitution think it is. I've never payed for a prostitute, nor will I because the part of sex I enjoy the most is the intimacy of sharing a relationship with my partner. I'm the kind of guy who likes to cuddle and talk after sex, but not everyone is like me, I understand that. I'm sure there are other reasons people might pay for sex, such as those with disabilities or what not. So I'm not saying your point of view in defending prostitution is a "bad" thing per say, however I've never really giving it much thought; it's always had a negative connotation as I grew up so I just accepted it as such without ever really evaluating how there might be some "good" in it. I still doubt the latter however I'm willing to give your point of view a once over.
