No. It could be abused and exploited, these are human lives at risk.
Stall. People with money will always find a way to get what they want, the current system is designed to keep some people trapped.
Yes. Humans should have free will and be allowed to do what they want.

I think it should be with oversight and regulation.
Worth mentioning that trafficking still very much happens in countries with legalization, and there's plenty of instances in Amsterdam of women being marched into government offices and forced to get their permit under coercian - especially refugees and people in desperate situations. Prohibition doesn't make these things better, as we know, and while there's no free lunch either way I still think people should be able to do with their bodies what they wnat, as long as they're not harming anyone else in the process.

Sure why not. Its perfectly acceptable for a woman to marry a man just for her to take him for everything some point down the road. Social norm.
In a climate like that youd think that a woman who really needs $60 and a man who really needs a blowjob would make the perfect couple.

People should be able to choose whatever life path they want. I think this would pave the way for minimizing/eliminating exploited underground workers - someone can just go to a place of business.
I think one rule that would need to be applied is that anyone found guilty of exploiting sex workers, whether a legitimate or underground practice be put to death, and rigidly enforce that. Gotta scare off the assholes.

Im changing my answer to no, sex should be sacred, not sold as a commodity. Final answer.

Curious that you think you get to impress your individual values on society at large, though. Or that banning prostitution does anything to effectively further that value to begin with.
I only have sex with people that I am in a monogamous loving relationship with, and I guess you could say that I view sex and intimacy as sacred as well, and I value commitment very highly, not into that open shit at all - still think prostitution should be legal.

I visited a brothel type setting yesterday. Very hot but anyways they have a business license and presumably pay taxes. Hard to believe it's illegal in Canada with so many of these operating for years. I think it's a much safer model than it being underground and unregulated. All for legalization.

Prostitution is the oldest profession. You will never get rid of it. And weve all seen what prohibition does.

Thought it was decriminalized in Canada and rub n tizzugs(but not full service) were fully legal - I met a friend of a friend who's a Canadian sexworker who's really...quite stable and down to earth. Gonna try to go do an escape room with them when I head back up there for the summer. I've never been to the er, facility, but it sounds like a strip club with handjobs .

I think so with rules, regulations and protections in place, just like with other adult places like bars and other places of socialization.
Theres a strip club near me that just changed their rules about VIP dances: Now you can fully touch the dancers! Its insane! You can't touch their "down under" areas but you can touch everywhere else on their body. To me, this is a significant step towards legalizing prostitution. Other states may follow suit. The Southern and Mid-West states will probably be last to allow it in the US....

I'm from New Zealand, which was the first country to decriminalise/legalise Prostitution.
It is not against the law to work as a sex worker or operate a brothel, nor is it against the law to pay for sexual services. However, it is against the law for any third party to facilitate anyone under the age of 18 into sex work. It is also illegal to do sex work if you are visiting New Zealand on a temporary visa.
Honestly, why should the working girls (and boys and nb) be punished when it's generally the johns that are causing the issues? If someone assaults you, you should be able to go to the police and have protection, right?

I just don't want the brothel in the apartment next door to me. Seems that is the way they want it to work in Canada, sex work from home, no red light districts. I lived next to working girl and it was sketchy often drunk johns entering our building at all hours, fights with her pimp etc. No one wants that next door.
I guess the failure to protect sex workers from exploitation is on the authorities. If you brought in 10 construction workers from abroad and exploited them the government of Netherlands would crack down hard on you, why sex workers dont get same protection is good question. There is no jurisdiction on earth with legal prostitution that doesnt have human trafficking problem. They perfect model has not yet been developed. Strip joints are legal here and at closing time there is a line of pimpmobiles picking up the strippers. Human trafficking is entrenched. Its going to require more than licensing to stop it.

Definitely but it should definitely be regulated and it should ONLY be allowable at a place of business with zoning laws and everything. No residential areas and definitely no hotel prostitution. It should be in a SAFE environment, maybe with a metal detector to make sure no men are bringing in knives or weapons or anything of that sort, to keep the workers safe.
Condoms should be required and if there's any arguments about it, you'll be shown the door with no refunds.
It should also be required for the men paying to have a quick panel std test that can be done on the spot. Perhaps a VISUAL exam also to make sure the men don't have crabs, herpes, or any skin diseases. Any positive result and you'll need to leave, with nonrefundable $5 or $10 for the test itself. The workers should be tested regularly also for std's/sti's.
The owner of the establishment would basically be the "pimp."

Its been a while but last time I got tested it involved a very uncomfortable q-tip. I would never want to go thru that on a regular basis

There's an updated urine test for chlymidia/gonnorreah. Its been around for a long time actually but most places are FUCKING CHEAP so they do the qtip method but I've had both ways done. I much prefer the urine test of course. It would NEED to be the urine test because nobody is going to even want to have SEX after having a qtip shoved up your dick. Paying for a hot person to have sex with is a LUXURY, and it should be paid for accordingly.

I said STAL but I mostly support legal prostitution if done properly. There would have to be some rather interesting laws set up for things to not get out of hand, but it's the person selling their body and I believe it should be the persons right to sell their flesh if they want.
I do think it might attract certain issues related to hard drug use to certain areas, but if done properly might be interesting.
There's a story I read years ago about a lady that was selling her body for money to support her two kids, she tried to get a job before that but couldn't find any legit work.
In some situations, like the one I have stated above, it seems that prostitution can be beneficial for parents in tough situations and might be a way for them to make some quick money which is needed to feed their children.
