Ok barring human trafficking and drug use.
Men are technically paying for sex anyway when they pay for a date. I think if more men were sexed there would be less violent crimes against women. Opinions?

In Germany, brothel owners – who must pay tax and employee health insurance – were granted access to official databases of job-seekers. And under Germany's welfare reforms, anyone under the age of 55 who has been out of work for more than a year can be forced to take an available job – including ones in the sex industry – or lose their unemployment benefits. The government had considered making brothels an exception on moral grounds, but since prostitution is no longer considered by the law to be immoral, they couldn't.

As a result, job centers must treat employers looking for a prostitute in the same way as those looking for a dental nurse. And increasing pressure on job centers to meet employment targets has resulted in them using their powers to cut the benefits of women who refuse jobs providing sexual services- under new regulations, if they refuse to enforce this, or to accept the brothels' advertisements, the job centers are now liable to be sued by the potential employers.

"There is now nothing in the law to stop women from being sent into the sex industry," said Merchthild Garweg, a lawyer from Hamburg who specializes in such cases. "The new regulations say that working in the sex industry is not immoral any more, and so jobs cannot be turned down without a risk to benefits." Miss Garweg said that women who had worked in call centers were being routinely offered jobs on telephone sex lines, and that at one job center in the city of Gotha, a 23yo woman was told that she had to attend an interview as a "nude model", and should report back on the meeting.

What do you think of this development? Do you agree with the move to legalize and regulate prostitution? And if so, how do you feel about unemployed women being told that "if you don't take jobs as prostitutes, we'll cut off your benefits"? Do you support the stance of Angela Merkel's government, or oppose it?

So I was reading this article today and it made me wonder there are few countries which had very intelligent solutions to society's most common problems, like Singapore with their crime rate and, in this case, Sweden with it's really low prostitution rate.

What i realize is that a lot of men get into fruitless relationships. the problem for men a lot of times is in fact not the time spent with the person but the money they put out. while girls can be undisided and are allowed to change their mind the money and time makes it a lot harder for men. Plus the only time women or men in some cases spend money on the other person is if the already want to be with them; in other words they have already made up their minds about the relationship ( not really dating). this loss puts men behide finacially and cripples the male sex. Moving on from relationships and trying to be finacial stable is therefore a lot harder for men. wemon often act like the bad habbits we have as men are because of are sex when infact it is because they things we do to accommodate them. But they are far from relizing that and carring. rather then put up with the crap and hope they change think we should do something to protect/ preserve ourselves So i am proposing an idea for a bill. This bill (insert clever name) will be disgned so that the government gives men a tax write off for the money they spend on dates so that men can recover finacially; since they won't legalize prostitution.

Now for this to work there of course has to be guide lines or rules. otherwise anyone can try to get this write off dishonestly. I came up with a few

-proof of expenses will be covered with proof of purchases or receipts

-all legitimate proof of purchases must come from the same year they file their taxes

-pictures of the women they dated can be used as proof-iffy on this one

- expenses must exceed five hundred dollars.

- money spent on her looks and health count as well.

If anyone can think of any more post them in the comments

also i am including a poll so that i can include one because the messege keeps coming up and saying the post is either to long or short. What the heck is wrong with this thing. its a bug they need to fix. what the hell is wrong with this thi

I am totally in favor of legalizing prostitution.
1. It will never go away.
2. If it is legalized it could be regulated better, prostitutes would be obliged to pay taxes, and undergo monthly medical tests.
3. It would be more safe for prostitutes as well.
4. Such leisure places would be wisely selected to be away from schools and other places which might be a bit inappropriate.
