If prostitution was legal, maybe our taxes wouldn't go up, because they would have to pay uncle sam! Now that's something to about.

Other than that, there will be people with morals and some who don't have any, so that part really won't change. JMO

Ummmm I would be like really rich!!!! LMFAO...Oh don't think that is what you are going for here OP eh? I'm just kidding...Kind of...

Don't kid yourself there bud - it's the same as druggies they are not legal either but alot of peeps are doing em!! Same as the hookers...Let's take a look at Shitzer...YA! See?
It's not legal but it's still all over the place ain't it? And it is not just the women selling their bods...They don't call it the worlds oldest profession for nothing...

NOW I will be serious...If a woman/man is holding back on the nookie to get what she/he wants from a person isn't that person playing the Ho card? Not for nothing she/he is REALLY a whore in sheeps clothing cause what she/he is acutally doing is saying without saying it ~ I won't fck you unless you give me this, this and this or do this, this or that...AND ain't that a whore? Sex in exchange for money/things?
This is everyday life for alot of people. The way I see it that shizzle is already legal. We just don't choose to look at it that way....

I'm sooooo very wise.

I see no reason why it shouldn't be legal. Its the world's oldest profession for a reason. This is one of those annoying legacies we can blame on our up-tight sexually repressed Quaker fore-fathers. Its been well over 200 years and we still can't shake this sexual stigma. Why is that?

But on the whole, I think even if it is legal, once you're in a committed relationship, its still wrong to go to a pro for sex. Woman or man it makes no difference. Not because its illegal but because its a trust violation between you and your partner.

HA! Here I am saying that prostitution is not immoral but using the services of one is unless you're single. But who said the rules of morality aren't occasional riddles with contradictions?

Hello? It is legal in some places. I don't have a problem with it myself. After all you can hire someone for every otherkind of service. & it's not going to go away just because it's illegal.

I was stationed in Germany for 2 years.. Prostitution is leagal there and is ran by the government.. They get regualar check ups and have benefits just like any other "Normal " Job... Im not sure if that had any impact on how very very very open the women are open to Sex over there.. Germany was defenatly a Man's Paradise.. No Speed limit on the Highway Beer everywhere and women who don't FREAK OUT over the word sex and actually want it just as much as the men do... I honestly don't think that Prostutution would do very well here in the states though just because as a whole we still have a very CLOSED mind when it comes to sexuality..

well, I don't think it would make any difference at all. Prostitutes are in everywhere and there are also the "open minded" girls who have drunk sex, sex on first date, are into dogging, swing and other sexual practices.

I just think you are having problems to get laid... this is another issue, nothing to do with the society divisions.

I'e actually never been in a relationship where sex (or the promise of it) was withheld in order to gain leverage. Not sure I'd stay in such a relationship.

You can probably find your answer by looking at relationships in Amsterdam, Nevada (outside of Las Vegas), Windsor Ontario and probably a handful of other places. I somehow doubt it has very much effect on relationships, you're either someone who would partake of such services or you're not. (I'm not so I may be speaking out of school here...)

If prostitution were to become legal in all areas of the US, I doubt you would see any remarkable social changes. What you may find would be signage indicating "We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone."

Personally, I think that if prostitution were legal we might see women rely a lot less on withholding the promise of sex for their men in order to get what they want, since an unmarried man could easily get laid no matter what his condition.

Thoughts?


Well my thoughts are that you can go right ahead and sit around and talk to your hooker about the shitty day you had at work, you can have them bear your children, perhaps take them home to Mom and Dad at Christmas and have a nice turkey dinner with them, you can spend the long weekend with them at your buddies cottage but you better upgrade because you dont want to be embarrassed about what level of "hooker" you can afford. Maybe your hooker will help you pay the mortgage if you ask her nicely and perhaps co-sign on your new car loan.

Perhaps if prostitution does become legal a whole new spin off industry will be created, you know the "quality" hooker that you can take home to Mom and one that will allow you to pay for the fantasy of having a real relationship without all the bother of having to actually invest in a relationship so you can still remain unmarried and still demand all the sex you want, just remember that she goes away once the 20's run out....

In Canada, prostitution itself is legal, it's just soliciting sex that's illegal. Basically, the Supreme Court decided that it was extremely difficult to differentiate between "Man gives girlfriend gift, girlfriend gives man blow job to thank him," and "Man gives woman he just met a gift of cash, girl he just met gives man blow job to thank him."

I don't think Solicitation is all that big a crime. Misdemeanor really, pay a fine, go to John School, don't get a Record... the real concern about getting caught paying for it would be the potential for public shame. I really don't think that the potential for public shame would be all that much less if it were legal. If Governor Spitzer had been in Nevada and used Personal instead of Public funds to get his gubernatorial nuts cracked, would he still be resigning? Personally, I'm pretty sure he would be.

The former governor of New York resigned because he used public money to obtain the call girl. If it were legal, he'd still have his job.

I'm not wild about prostitution being legal. Although, I am very much against the entrapment methods in which the police enforce it. If legal, I could see some young attractive women getting involved that otherwise would not have anything to do with it. I could also see women being forced into it because of hard financial conditions that otherwise would have nothing to do with it. Prostitution makes a woman hard and cold and that's not something to aspire to in one's life. The last thing we need is the government in charge of the pussy business.

Hello Packagedealx3

great take on the the post....prostitution is legal in several states and countries although I am not sure if legalization has increased the fees...as demand determines the fees for almost everything. Sex without attachment is really sad although I see many men looking for just that and looking for prostitutes. I travel around the world for business and a lot of the guys I see in the hotels are always asking around for where to buy sex and bring prostitutes into the hotels... it seems a shame that they are only experiencing the pleasure of taking and not enjoying the pleasure of giving pleasure...as I think sex is a 2 way street. I hope legalization slows the passing of STDs as the world is experiencing an epidemic in this regard.

Great info and views!

LOL and I'm assuming you're one of these 10s of 1000s of women? Correction women only give it up for FREE to a select few where as the majority recieves nothing. If what you say was true, prostitutes would go out of bussiness.

Being from the West Coast originally and my ex from Nevada (he grew up there) and I lived close to Reno for quite a while myself. I can tell you that legal prostitution does not change any relationships that are strong ones. Those who go, go and those who don't , well they just don't. The one clear thing that comes out of the way Nevada handles it though .... All of the ladies and the men too, have medical exams regurlarly, so they stay healthy and disease free. And by the way, you really wouldn't know who is a prostitute in the grocery store, Wal-Mart, or anywhere else. There the prostitutes dress normal when not working. I saw no difference in any of the relationships of many friends and relatives. For the most part, it's just a job for them.

Not necessarily! As you said ^ he used PUBLIC money.

A governor is almost a king in the US and they are treated like royalty. We taxpayers foot the bill for a very extravagant life style for these people. If the same guy spent the same money at a swanky resort spa, nothing would have been said about it. Public funds cannot be used for something illegal. If it was legal, they would all have the best and we poor suckers would just keep on paying for it. Another reason to keep it in check with laws against it.

Some things were just meant to be illegal but not aggressively enforced. The guy in question ran on a clean up corruption campaign so getting caught in a vice situation was pretty damn stupid on his part. It just shows that a guy will give up just about anything when he wants a piece of ass.

I think the workplace would be a lot more relaxed. Which means less stress. Which means less heart disease. Which means more STDs.
Regardless, there's nothing like going to work with a full heart and empty scrotum and a little bounce in one's step. :)

Prostitutionshould be legal. It would be easier for guys like me (35) who has never had it for free. Woman tell me Im cut or goodlooking, but thats as far as it ever gets.
I also would like to see massage parlours legalized.

It is legal here and I don"t know any women who contemplate withholding sex from their husband to get what they want.......

And it was no different when it was illegal......

In all the converstions I ever had, with all the women I have had them with ,about husbands and marrige, I have never ever once heard a woman discuss having, or not having, sex with their husbands or partners to get what they want.

They have certainly not felt like being intimate any longer, and that is normally the point where communcation is gone and the relationship is ending....

And with thoughts like that one you would have to wonder if their was ever any communciation at all....

then it wouldnt be so dirty? b.c its legal? its still disgusting,the difference between spending money on a woman that will eventually have sex with you and a prostitute is the woman is enjoying the sex too...or at least should be ...and does it for more than money...oh no i sure hope they dont legalize prostitutes then ill be forced to put out quickly or the guy will just hire someone to do it.......god thats dumb.

OK, I didn't read all the posts, so my apologies if someone already said this. How many times a week do you figure the average guy wants to have sex? How much do we figure this now legalized prostitute is charging? I don't know, so if someone does I'd be curious to know. Sure like someone said, maybe somewhat less now that it's legal,
but it's still not going to be cheap. Women aren't going to be having sex with fat, balding creeps for minimum wage or if they are, don't think it's Julia Roberts you're getting. So can the average guy afford this service more than once a week? And is this what he's looking for, regular sex with someone to whom he's just another business transaction. Somehow, I'm not that worried about holding onto a guy like this. If his answer is to go get a hooker, obviously we don't have much of a relationship and it's not much of a loss....Yeah, I think I ought to have sex with my man cause otherwise he might get it from a hooker? Nah....Maybe I just can't relate cause I love sex.

And one more thing, if you're not getting much sex, maybe you're just not any good. My guy and I have sex every night when we're together and then again in the morning too sometimes, but if he wasn't any good, sleep might be more appealing.....Maybe these guys could just pay their wives or gf's......

And my response as nothing to do with my opinion on prostitution, just that I think the OP's theory here is ridiculous.

no woman 'gives it up for free'... there is a price for sex no matter the situation

sex cost :

-Having to buy her drinks
-$5-$5000
-having to listen to her yakkity yack for a little while
-dinner, flowers, a movie, pop corn
-Pretend to 'like her' long enough to get in her pants

and of course,

-An STD that she provides
