Having done it both legally and illegally, I have generally had more fun and better experiences (and, of course, many more) where it's illegal. My experiences where it's legal, including Nevada, have given me the impression that it's just a job to legal providers. But my experiences with legal providers are just a fraction of those with banned babes. The UK was slightly better, but nothing great.

Prostitution is LEGAL (with some restrictions that aren't that bad) in Canada, most all of Europe including England, France, Wales, Denmark, etc., most of South America including most of Mexico (often in special zones), Israel (Tel Aviv known as the brothel capital of the world), Australia, and many other countries. It is either legal or very tolerated in most all of Asia and even Iran has "temporary wives" which can be for only a few hours! New Zealand passed in 2003 one of the most comprehensive decriminalization acts which even made street hookers legal which is causing many concerns. I do NOT support public nuisance street hookers being legal unless in special zones. But PRIVATE consenting adult sexwork should be legal as it is in most of the world except the U.S.
(But my experience was great there - low prices and excellent service; nice girls)
Germany pledges tougher laws to protect prostitutes (Reuters)
24 January 2007
BERLIN - Germany’s government on Wednesday pledged to toughen laws protecting the nation’s 400,000 prostitutes and said liberal measures to encourage them to give up their trade had largely failed.
Christian Democrat (CDU) Family Minister Ursula von der Leyen said a cabinet-commissioned report into the effects of a prostitution bill introduced in 2002 by former Chancellor Gerhard Scroeder’s government revealed little had changed.
That law was hailed as an historic attempt to improve access to social security, healthcare and pension benefits for sex workers and offer them a route to alternative professions.
‘The possibilities are in practice almost never used,’ she said, stressing prostitution was not a ‘job’ and announcing new measures designed to protect underage prostitutes and the mainly foreign women who are forced into prostitution by traffickers.
Prostitution is not illegal in Germany. The 2001 law removed a description of the trade as ‘sinful’ from the penal code and allowed women to sue their clients for non-payment.
‘The law has scarcely achieved its aims but we don’t want to leave prostitutes in the grey zone they were in prior to the legislation,’ von der Leyen said, referring to their previous status without legal rights or social security.
Chancellor Angela Merkel’s grand coalition is drafting new measures to raise the legal age for prostitutes to 18 from 16 at present. Clients of underage prostitutes face 5 years in jail.
Merkel’s conservatives and her Social Democrat partners also vowed to plug a legal loophole which allows clients of women forced into prostitution to plead ignorance of their plight.
‘If the prostitute speaks no German and has bruises on her body then the client has to assume this is forced prostitution,’ she said. ‘He can no longer say: ‘I didn’t notice’.’
Von der Leyen gave no details of how this might be enforced.
More than half of the prostitutes in Germany are thought to be foreign and most have no legal papers, making it virtually impossible for them to contemplate quitting.
In addition, von der Leyen announced measures to improve controls over Germany’s brothels and foster better healthcare.
Lobby groups estimate Germany’s prostitution industry has annual turnover of around 6 billion euros and serves 1.2 million clients daily.
