Absolutely. What two consenting adults chose to do between themselves is none of the government's business.

Its called "consensual crime" and all consensual crime should be de-criminalized.

I feel like I'm in third grade again, living in a nanny State such as this.

Not a reason, but the prostitution and sex markets are considered very high risk for both the clients and the business owners. There would need to be a specialized insurance marketplace, and people would have to be okay with essentially consenting to a national background check before each encounter.

Solve what problem? Safety and liability issues? How do you expect that to work?

I don't think you realize all the health and safety issues that come with this type of business. Also, have you been to a domestic violence shelter recently and seen those statistics? Just because someone prostitutes themselves, doesn't mean they feel like they are given much choice in the situation.

Do you think wealthy people should be able to solicit and encourage girls in poor communities to prostitute themselves to the richer communities?

I'll take that as a yes, that you think it is okay to exploit those in poverty.

Okay, well you go tell all the girls if they really want to pay for college or food they can just sleep with you instead. Afterall, if they were really hungry they'd do it... right?

Are you daft? The majority of danger from prostitution stems from it's illegality. In most places in america prostitution is illegal. Many of these prostitutes are groomed and then enslaved by pimps who take enough of their money to keep them under their thumb. They don't care about their girl's well being. They just care about the money.

Now. If you were to legalize it and make it a legal profession? It could be regulated. Mandatory condom use. Mandatory STD testing. It would take place in a safe place with security to protect the girls if anyone got unruly. No one would have to worry about reporting an offense just because they were doing something illegal. Fair wages to the girls.

Better make sure they sign arbitration agreements.

It's like you didn't even read this thread.

Driving a go-kart is not the same as sexual intercourse.

Are you even paying attention? That was my point. If I had to sign a waiver to do something as innocent as driving a go kart, why would similar systems not be out in place as CYA (Cover Your Ass) forms in a market such as legalized prostitution?

The arbitration comment was made because of this:

Is that how Nevada works?

I think its a female conspiracy. I think with prostitution legal you will see a lot less marriage. And a lot less women in power with social status just because they are a female.

Sure. But in todays times. Less marriage can be seen as fitting the needs of the country. So legalization of prostitution could be a good thing.

Prostitution is legal just have them sign a quick NDA. You didn’t pay for sex you paid for silence about sex. Hump away!

Yup. Or just film it and suddenly you aren't paying for sex you're paying an actress's salary.

Bonus Point

Why don't they just fuck each other, for free?

because the govmint needs to get its share.

a sex cult runs the world and does so, in part, by trying to control access to sex. in canada, that's why soliciting prostitution is illegal (ie. the act of asking for it), but not prostitution itself. and that's why so many false accusations against males are rubberstamped with little to no protection for men. that's why claims of spousal abuse in divorce cases don't make any statistical sense - because they're false. the entire idea of consent is verboten by this crowd. and they maintain their power and the ability to use these levers because women allow it. when you use divide and conquer and maintain your control over half the population thru what amounts to bribery, you have the numbers to do whatever you want policywise. address the systemic gender bias we live under and you'll see an end to many of these shenanigans.

So legalize prostitution to help a bunch of virginal nubes get laid...yeah, ok. Let's not consider humane trafficking, under-age prostitution, STDs, etc.

I do and I personally think it should be legalized (after considering all the points I brought up previously) because it should be a womans or mans right to do what she/he wants with their body. I do not think it would take care of the "Incel problem". I think that problem lies in our public education and media.

I suspect the incels would just end up griping about how the only sex they get is when they pay for it and how that’s not fair and how women are just giving it away for free to this fictitious chad. They also often talk very disparagingly about prostitutes and women who have had any sex at all. Their issue is not with lack of sex, but fear of the ‘females’.

Prostitution...the only time it's illegal to sell something that's perfectly legal to give away.

Do you really think the stereotypically incel could afford to pay someone in a free market to fuck them?

I suspect the incels would just end up griping about how the only sex they get is when they pay for it and how that’s not fair and how women are just giving it away for free to this fictitious chad fella. They also often talk very disparagingly about prostitutes and women who have had any sex at all. Their issue is not with lack of sex, but fear of the ‘females’. Their problem is a faulty logic one, fueled by fear, which only counseling can truly help.

But I’m cool with legalized consensual prostitution for freedom reasons.

That makes sense.

Or maybe these people should just get off the internet and go live the real world for a while?

Better make sure they sign arbitration agreements.
