If prostitution was legalized what do you think the outcome of this would be?

for a very specific reason.

well said master

There are dozens of templates to choose from, with the Nevada template being the absolute worst of the bunch and countries like most in Latin America being pretty darned attractive.

Ok I'll just ask.... What happened to fancy8888  

I wonder though about the end of indies. If decriminalization occurs there will still be plenty of entripenurial women who wouldn't be comfortable working for anyone but themselves. Even legalization, in the Nevada mode, doesn't deter independent providers. Forcing women to work out of brothels, where they don't control the choice of clients or volume, in order to be "legal", won't change the profession.

I just think its ridiculous that it's illegal.It's just 2 adults having fun.And a man/woman giving a provider a gift(the donation)I think its illegal though because they know the providers that do this will make so much more than the average person working a 9-5 shift.They want everyone to struggle.And what's fucked up is we get treated like we're not human from the people that disagree with provider services especially cops.If you get raped by a client and go to the police station they will simply say "you shouldn't have been selling your ass"

She dropped off the boards around the same time as you.  I was starting to worry that maybe the two of you died in a car accident or something.

The sub-human treatment is the worst of it.  With all of the education available in this country, you would think people could connect the dots and figure out that this is how ethnic cleansing starts; for instance, clamping down on prostitution was one of the many platforms that Hitler used to get elected.  Or if everyone would just pay attention to the news, they would notice that the more invasive laws governments have (China, Russia, Middle Eastern shariah law countries), the worse they treat their citizens.

YASSSSSSSS! x1000000

I don't necessarily think this to be true. There is A LOT of uncertainty when it comes to finding sugar babies....I mean from what I've read half the time you guys set up dates and the girl doesn't even show up!  

As somebody in the Sugar world, I can tell you it works both ways. There are plenty of hookers on the SD sites.

My first four dates from SA ended up with me having sex on the first date at a fraction of "hooker prices" I seem to be getting overnight dates at about the same price as hourly dates with hookers.  

+1 I never understood why hobbyists would want the hassles that come with GF's and dating. I hobby because I don't want the hassle associated with traditional dating. I just don't get it.  

It probably varies from area to area. I do know that in my area the hookers were livid when they found out that civilian sugar babies were giving it up at much less than the pros.

I believe any exchange of money or anything of value followed by sex should be illegal.  I would exclude meals costing no more than the current price if a big mac and a drink.

I worked in Nevada brothels and I just have to say, although you are required to work "be there for line ups" during your shift, you are in control of who you see and how frequently you take clients. You can say no if you like and or just hang out at the bar or in your room until the bell rings. Also the brothel mode in itself takes away the "independent" framework because you are required to pay 50% of your money to the house as well as a nominal daily fee for room and board. The ladies actually make less than the brothel/owner who is in essence their pimp.

All physical contact between people should be made illegal;  we'll use turkey basters for procreation

It's understandable why hookers would be upset and want to badmouth SBs. Similar to how "courtesans" bad mouth "normal" hookers and normal hookers look down on BP hookers and so on and so on and so on.

it's not ridiculous. This type of things goes to decentralization of the system. Shifts the values. And this is not what government is all about. People should obey government laws, otherwise no government will survive. Xo

he got tired of that persona and went off to invent another one to troll the boards with

I am certain I turned you on to the sugar bowl and by certain I mean there was a 5% chance I did.

It makes life more straightforward in a sense - no stress about LE, no screening needed, more open for advertising, for example in newspapers, but on the other hand it also means like Canada, that the rates are generally lower because more girls will risk working if it's not illegal,

It can be a hassle meeting babies.

I would like to see it legalized. Done right, it can work very well. I think that most ladies here probably already do regular health checks, so that wouldn't seem to be a big deal. Everything covered is a drag (I'm only talking about bbbj); however, particularly for independent encounters, I'm not sure how that could be strictly enforced. The tax implications probably wouldn't be popular, but you wouldn't have to create some sort of consulting or personal services business entity to pay taxes and stay off the IRS's radar. And I'm sure that there are license fees that the ladies would hate. It did appear to me like there are less independent ladies available, my non-scientific observation leads me to believe that most ladies work in brothels, but I suspect that's more a function of convenience than some regulatory by-product. The ladies don't need to book hotel rooms or invite clients to their house/apartment, they just use the brothel facility. Of course that also means they are giving up some or possibly much of their fee to the house. But it doesn't appear to prevent organized crime from being involved, I read some articles about one of the bigger brothels in the Melbourne area being run by some pretty unsavory characters. And even though it's legal, there does still seem to be some level of stigma for the ladies, it seems like most don't want identifying pictures in ads or on websites. But I would think that a significant plus would be one of safety for the ladies, if a client gets out of line they can call the cops without fear of ending up in trouble when they are actually a victim. And of course the biggest plus is the assurance for both parties that they aren't going to be arrested for participating in a transaction that's nobody else's business. Nothing is perfect, but I thought things worked pretty well there.

At least for me, that it is illegal.  

Have been a progressive upgrade. You just keep the membership active. You hook up with a girl who is an 8. So you keep her around until you hear from an 8.5, and then a 9.

CR57, I don't know whether you realize it, but you've just laid out one of the best arguments for decriminalization over legalization I've ever heard.
