Yes you should and you shouldn't have to hide in shame either! Vote for me in Nov and I'll be sure you get that right.

I don't think the reason prostitution is illegal is because they don't want you having sex (although that may be a little bit of it). I think it's mainly because they don't want the prostitutes getting kidnapped or murdered, and the only way to keep them safe from that is to say prostitution is illegal.

Keeping prostitution illegal is NOT keeping the workers safe. It's compounding the problem enormously because there is no way for them to get help when they are being abused or are raped by clients. Take Amsterdam, it's a much safer place for sex workers because they don't have to hide in dark alleys and rely on abusive pimps. There are legal channels for them when they are mistreated.

Well, being a prostitute myself... ;D

Seriously though, I say no. First of all, even if it was regulated, it would take a huge amount of work to implement. It is, in fact, legal in Nevada, everywhere except Vegas ironically. It also takes up a huge amount of resources to regulate, and sex, generally speaking, has few positive effects when used for purposes other than procreation. If you never had sex in your life, you wouldn't be any worse off (pragmatically speaking).

Requiring a lot of work is not a reason to outlaw something.

actually i do believe humans need this kinda of contact... take cats for example... they need sex to survive. they go crazy without it. it causes a chemical imbalance in their brains.... they go crazy and do some really crazy things when they are kept from it... i've actually seen a case were two male cats went at each other because no female had been around and there was no chance of them being with anyone else.

if it can effect as imple animal such as this... god knows what it would do to humans... legalizing prostitution would cut back rape crimes and rapist eventually go to murder so that would cut that down... i think gillibean is onto something.

No, they'd ship the prostitution-regulating jobs overseas.
