The Failed Prostitution Experiment

[DonCoquixote]

36. If they cannot stop their men and others

from importing people in as slaves, then hell yes it is their fault, it is their job to stop the smuggling. If women are being forced into it, for any reason, then it is the state's job to grab those using the force and jail them,period.

As far as demand goes, if the willing women decide to charge a million dollars a service, let them charge it. The fact that the EU does not penalize a woman, or call her a slut, because she sells directly what the Justin Timberlake and Madonnas sell, is better, because it focuses on the fact that a woman's sex is hers, not the church, not the state. Would you rather have the American or Islamic models where prostitution is banned, but sex becomes a sort of all pervasive obsession that influences every little nuance, where even politics gets controlled by it?

And yes, I mean this both ways. When the day comes that a female executive can enjoy the services of a male or female "demimonde" just as much as her counterparts, we will be better off. No, that is not humor, after all, why should she be considered evil for doing what males have done for years?

Better a brothel than a dozen churches! Especially if you regulate it and tax it! Note, i say regulate because, as was pointed out, when only reno allows it, it allows for abuse, but when it is normalized, the chances for abuse lessen.

However, the best choice is to reduce the demand, and a society where sex is free and not punished is the best remedy for that.
