..should be legalized; read this.  I always thought it should be, but now, not so much.

PS:  Thank you, C, for alerting me to this article.

Now we have no justification
to shout about....We can
never again say  "Well if
it was legal we wouldn't
have these other problems" ...

I'm a bit skeptical about the content of that article.  It comes off as very "I told you so."

But be that as it may, the brothel model for de-criminalized sex for pay is not the main demand from sex workers, but rather the right to discreetly advertize for sex between consenting adults as is done in England, Canada, most of Latin America and other civilized locations without any undue attraction of international pimps, etc.

(still not a lawyer)

if the outside legal world could leave the hobby to govern itself, that would be ideal. Matters of discrimination should work more like civvie sex than ordinary customer/vendor principles. I doubt that every provider is going to react to me with "Ick!!", but those that do should be free to turn me away for bad chemistry. Unemployed problems must not be dealt with by identifying providing as "suitable work".

Anyone have a fear of heights? What if you were out of work and the government said you couldn't collect UComp if you were unwilling to climb quarter-mile-high microwave towers for a living? This is what providing by necessity must be like.

I think it should be legalized and taxed, but not the same way the Dutch government did it.  Who needs women in windows of a sex shop when you have the internet?  You can call the girl of your choosing and just go to her location or have her come to you.  Out of sight, out of mind.  I think that it's because they made it so visible and out in the open that all that b.s. happened with the pimps, etc.  I personally wouldn't care if my next door neighbor was working as an escort as long as her clients were discreet and didn't hit on me or harass the other women in the complex which is more likely to happen with street prostitution.
