I've been interested in how this will play out.

Ladies, do you think, Would it will help or hurt your business if it was legalized in the US? Or just stay the same.

Would prices go up or down? (I've noticed that Bunny Ranch prices are way too high)

I think the first reaction from all of us is,"of course it should be legalized". But, what are the financial consequences?

because you need a license to escort and have to pay taxes on it - once it becomes 'legal'.

a license to escort is very expensive

They wont get them

So they will all still get busted -

This has been going on in San fran for years-
won't happen

Driving is legal to -
but you still need a license

I think decriminalization would be better.

But what a thrill it would be to drive that cute little RED sports car. I bet I wood get to the finish real fast.

Thank you

I think it would drive prices down because EVERYONE and they momma would be doing it, and I agree about the tax thing, but just like some people don't get caught doing drugs, not everyone will get caught and have to pay taxes!

It's still going to have an influence on the rest of the country. If it works out.

When you look at the costs involved in being a quality provider (ads, clothing, makeup, hairdos, hotel rooms, etc.) and the time involved (answering email, blogging, screening, etc.) it's really not that much of a high profit business, and it is not easy either.

I think the women who want to provide, do so; and they know that if they are careful, LE is not that much of an impediment.

Just making it legal does not undo the negatives nor the moral stigma, it will only alleviate one noxious aspect of the business.

Prices for quality providers in other countries like Canada and the UK where escorting is legal are very similar to those in the USA.

i come from a country where hooby is legal and sex crimes is alot lower that with places where is not, the goverment also gets to tax it and there is constant monotoring for STD'S so its safer. as far prices i think it would stay the same unless u see an huge increase of girls giving services that high end girls dont

. . . say, from being ripped off or attacked.

God loves your innocent mind

talk to some ladies in countries were escorting is legal or decriminalized

I am sure, they will paint you a much different picture.

Anyway, as  i said, above, it will never happen
and, it didnt.

Local California girls- go to your city halls and get a license to escort ..

I've been with, spoken to, and dated women in a dozen countries where the hobby is legal in just the last couple of years.

That is exactly the picture they will paint.

but as you said "it will never happen" and it won't so legalization is really a moot point in this country, but it would be the right thing to do.
