In the USA, yes. Not just in NV, but in many other states too.
Prostitution should be legalized and regulated. Prostitutes should only be employed by brothels; because being on the street is unsafe and should remain illegal. A special license through managment training/etc should be required to even run a brothel with yearly license renewals.
There should be frequent mandatory full health examinations (including blood work) for all employees working with customers issued by gov or state before hire and during employment.
Brothels are required to keep private records of their clients and the employee that service them to monitor and control the spread of AIDS/HIV or STI. Clients are required to sign legal documentation in regards to their personal health and the health of the employees; so if a client lies/unaware of their STD/I status, but signs docs saying she/he's clean and was tested, then he/she is liable; if the brothel hired an employee without a full exam prior to servicing clients, the brothel is liable. And free birth control obviously.
If it'll help some men/women with huge insecurities chill out, then I'm all for making this a legitimate business and normalized.

Potentially but not under a pimp-type setup. The real problem is finding people who want to be in that profession, not people that feel they have no other choice.
Would anyone really want to have sex with someone who doesn't really want to be doing it? Then it also begs the question how to help those who feel stuck in it.
We all have jobs that suck that we want to get out of, or never go into. How to prevent that or protect people from being forced into it by someone else.
Absolutely it should be legalized. With legalization comes regulation. By making it a legal job you can now offer programs for these men and women who choose to do that work. This would help lower drug usage, STD's, instances of rape, and possibly even murder. By making it legal and taxable prostitutes would no longer have to do it for drugs, they'd be able to get insurance that would provide testing to keep them healthy, they would be "working" in a controlled environment rather than having to rent out the skankiest hotel they can find to avoid law enforcement, and by doing it in a controlled environment prostitutes that have been murdered in the past could have been saved with supervision. Pimps would also be forced to free their girls because now they can run it legally. There are so many positives to this.
I understand some people feel that women shouldn't be used for sex. To those people: Prostitutes are not just women and many of them actually enjoy being paid for sex. Just because it's not something you like doesn't mean that someone out there can't like it.
I see nothing wrong with oldest profession out there being allowed to continue , hell its present within society norms in disguise any way. One major reason why they wouldn't want to, is the government can't collect taxes on the freelancers. 🤣 Another reason why some dont like it is because it takes away womens ability to use the puss to their advantage. Men would just go astray... Likes both sexes dont already do or anything... Marriage is prostitution along with other relationship types. Just a booty call and the one party wants to show their appreciation with a gift. Some hold out sex till the wedding night, like damn you gunna want a MF to marry you to find out you ain't that great after all, thats some prostitution right there... and they say why it always gotta be about sex...

I think it should be legalized. That said, I think the greatest argument against it, is in regards to people already in a relationship, and the sig other's going to a prostitute as being cheating.
That said again, I think the reason the goverment doesn't want to legalize it, is because they don't know how to tax them.
How many clients have you had?
How many did you only give BJ's to?
How many did you go further with?
Were you only engaged in fetish activities?
Were there multiple times in one instance?
Did they only want to talk?If prostitution is legal, it can be regulated and it could help kill off the sex trafficking market, so that's good news.
Plus in Australia, they encourage prostitutes to get psych degrees because men especially open up a ton emotionally. They've found many men went to have sex but didn't even have it. They just wanted to talk and cuddle and let out their insecurities to someone who would t judge them. If they could actually study some of that, we could probably make some interesting discoveries.
Would I personally pay for sex? If I'm single, yeah probably. I'd try it at least once or twice. Main thing that would deter me would be if it puts off a girlfriend in the future. But I don't really slut shame women so I'm not sure how much she could judge, or how much I should even care.It should 100% be legalized.
As it is now there are few of any protections for women against trafficking, serial killers, getting robbed, drugged, pimped, etc.. legalizing would allow for safe reporting, testing, would disrupt traffickers, eliminate pimps almost immediately and would take the practice off the streets and into a building. Requiring a license similar to a masseuse would create a database baring minors from slipping through the cracks. The amount of resources the police could diverge and focus on rape, child sex trafficking and other serious crimes is insane.
There are many prostitutes that were trafficked yes and I'm not trying to take away from them or there experiences, however there are many many that actually enjoy it and do it willingly and others that do it to makes ends meet. By regulating this that wasn't out get a chance and those that want to stay can do so without villainization.
Sex work is work 100%Yes but it will never happen in a country like America. Reality is this country is based on money and billions are made exploiting the notion of love. Brothels could easily be set up similar to a starbucks where for a reasonable price a man could go in and spend 30 to 60 minutes having sex w/ an attractive women. If you did that it would instantly cripple all the other industries that use sex as leverage against men.
1) Marriage 2) nightclubs 3) bars 4) Luxury Vehicles 5) Jewelry and pretty much all industries which are created for men to show value in the Hope's of getting laid.No it shouldn’t be legal.
Some will argue that it happens anyway and that it should be regulated, but when it’s illegal less women choose to be prostitutes.
People today don’t tend to think or care about the collective health of a society. If more young girls turn to prostitution because it’s legal, this will have a negative effect in the stability of that society.
Family is the backbone of a strong society. If people are shagging around a lot what you get is a ton of broken families and dysfunctional children as a result. Then you get a dysfunctional society.
Would you want your daughter to be a prostitute? Your sister? Your mother? Would you marry and have children with a woman who sold sex? Would you honestly be okay with that? I don’t think that any man in his right mind would be.
The only ones who’d be completely okay with it are those who can’t get laid without paying for it because they’re dysfunctional. Porn addicted losers.I believe sex work should be de-criminalized, licensed, regulated and taxed.
Regulation would involve regular STD and drug testing as well as an eye on sex trafficking. Best to move sex work out into the sunlight and away from criminal activity.
I am a Christian and a Libertarian. The moral aspect is up to each practitioner and client to settle with their G0d. Government should not decide morality for them.No! Only because they've found enough ways to get a man's money.
These aren't exclusively ALL ruses perpetrated by women, (so save the men do it too rebuttal... some men are physically/ biologically incapable). The power points definitely are.

Child support.
Alimony.

Don't ya just love it?In a perfect society no. Just looking at how legalized prostitution has effected women in Europe absolutely not, it only helps the pimps and johns. They’re abused constantly, raped, tormented.
Which is why I advocate for the decriminalization of prostitution not legalization (which are two different things). Decriminalization offers these women safer ways to exit the sex trade.
Prostitution is and will always be one of the most exploitative forms of labor.No and in fact i think they need to arrest the women for longer sentences, the johns less. It makes no sense. The johns are just a normal dude who gets tempted by an attractive woman. Thats normal to be turned on by an attractive woman! Sure i think its fine to penalize them for paying but they aren't the ones making this a business. The women are the supply and the predator by purposely seeking men for business. But for some reason they dont send the women to jail for long if at all. So no shit there's tons of prostitution.
i think yes. if it becomes illegal, there might be a serious problem with rape. for example, if you're a hideous dude with no money or anything and nobody wants to date you, and you probably have mental issues as well, instead of buying yourself a prostitute you might just go ahead and rape someone. i feel like that would be the problem that would surface if prostitution became illegal, hopefully it makes sense ~
My libertarian side says that 'yes', prostitution should be legal. Body autonomy and all that. However, some studies have shown that illegal sex trafficking increases in places with legal prostitution, so I'm not sure there's a net benefit to society.
Today? No. It would just give more of these metoo women an excuse to trap a guy and then have him sent to prison on fake rape charges. Ideally it would be legal but how many women are doing it would be limited to small numbers by social norms/rules. There's an explosion of women acting like whores today.
It would be a good idea to legalize and regulate it. But people honest about it. Doing so isn't going to completely fix all the issues with things like prostitution and sex trafficking. Only thing we can really hope is a decease in the negatives. Not a full stop to them.
Prostitution legal no? Escorts yes. Difference I am making here by the way is one has a pimp the other does not.
Many people often use terms exchangeable, but over here legal escorts are a thing already because they don't have pimps. Our government is very clear Pimps are a bad thing and I agree. A self funded women though getting paid for sex is 100% morally clear to me.Only in specific areas. People shouldn’t be jailed for it. Decrease predators, give outlet to virgins, regulated prices. It’s already legal in a lot of countries. It does have its problems though. Makes the neighborhood more trashy. More drugs in circulation. More trafficking and poaching of minors because people want “variety”.
If they legalize it, then men will never need or want girlfriends/wives anymore.
Most men already prefer sex workers…. they’re just scared of getting arrested for trying to hire one. Legalize it, and men will never want to date or get married again. Can’t say I blame themLegalized and legitimized, yes. Statistics from other nations where prostitution is legal show that it creates a safer environment for sex workers and removes revenue sources from gangs and other criminal organizations. It also lowers the rate of rape.
I guess it depends on the society legalizing it. Some approve and others do not. If the society approves then the governing body would do well to legalize. If the society disapproves then making it illegal seems logical. Where I live it’s kind of illegal, I mean there are huge loopholes around it and it’s not really enforced unless it becomes a bigger business. I would be hesitant because of disease.
yes it should be legal. but it should be illegal to profit from the prostitution of a woman by others
