Should prostitution be legal?

[ktheodos]

I don't think it should, but if you read books like Freakonomics, it kinda hints at the idea that legalizing it might be a good thing....so....
(ps...great book/series to read, regardless of what you think of this prostituion topic )

I don't think it should be legal. I don't understand how some one can do this.

Yes. Let's keep it illegal because you don't get it. Great logical basis.

No.  I think its gross.

[monnee]

It should be because no matter what happens, people are going to do it anyway.  People have been doing it for years.  The way the economy is, they might as well tax it because we could us the $$$$$.

sure it should be legal. for a few things it would be a lot safer for the hookers and the johns and there would be no pimps

[Brichmon]

No thats so nasty beyond belife

That's just your belife though, right? I mean I think pineapples on pizza is nasty. Would you tolerate it being legal?

I am not sure this is a tough question. In some state there illegal but that does nothing to stop it. I just moved here in NV two yrs ago....they have places like that.

[jabkman]

no, promotes sex addiction

[syntheticbeauty]

Well there are various forms of prostitution...

No matter if it's illegal people will still do it.

I don't think street prostitution should be legal, because of risks of spread of diseases or viruses.
Unless there was some way of testing all the people on the streets which I doubt. It would take to much time and money to keep tab of everyone.

Now Brothel prostitution sounds more reasonable at least then they can test the woman or men and provide a safe setting for the acts to happen.

I think it should be legalized and regulated to prevent the abuse of these unfortunate women. Also, if the practice were confined to certain areas, local businesses and residents would not be annoyed as often.

Simple question...Ummm, NO...

I see no good reason to legalize prostitution or pornography.  I believe pornography and extreme violence in any media cannot but affect young people - and even older people.  But along with prostitution, I think the men involved should also be prosecuted.
