BINGO, you hit the nail right on the head with the TAXATION issue.

That's what I thought about last week----it's gottabe about TAXES!!!!   But, the govt. just dresses it all up like prostitution is about morality.

But, then that leads to my next question....   why is it LEGAL in some parts of Nevada, despite the taxation issues associated with prostitution????

And if you REALLY think about it....   the govt. CAN'T accurately tax the earnings of strippers, escorts, or pornstars.  So, why are all of these things legal????

Good point.

However I feel like wining an dining a girl is somewhat like prostitution.  But it's worse... it's combining gambling and prostitution.  Because when you spend $150 on dinner and a movie, the odds are 5:1 that you're going to go home with a dry dick (unless of course you live in Atlanta... then the odds are slightly more in your favor). 

They try.

But, the killer is how the actors & actresses get on TV talking about how they're REALLY thespians.

Jenna Jameson's my girl & all....  but, I'd be lying if I told y'all that I'm NOT always scratching my head whenever I see her on TV trying to defend the adult film industry as ARTISTIC EXPRESSION.

Hmm... I might catch hell for this because I am a woman but I think prostitution should be legalized.  It's legal in parts of Nevada, why not the rest of the country?  Some men, for whatever reasons, cannot get laid without paying for it... and some women, for whatever reasons, will except $ in exchange for whatever sexual acts. 

Women will scream how demeaning and degrading it is... but if you are going to do it, that's on you.  You can only control you. 

Is there a petition I should sign to get this started?  LOL

I agree.  In the words of Trick Daddy "Let a ho be a ho."  We have plenty of cashiers at Burger King.  What we need are more women who are willing to satisfy the old, fat, balding, rich, lonely, socially-crippled men so they will leave the rest of us women alone.

Do u think it's the attractive, outgoing, men that get prostitutes?  If so, you've watched Pretty Woman one too many times.

LMAO!  I feel you.  B is mos def more degrading.

I think there are other underlying issues as to why men hire hookers though.  Control and no strings being just 2 of them.

Sure, the NO STRINGS ATTACHED thing is an underlying issue.

But, as for CONTROL....   how much control do these men REALLY have over the hooker, aside from having the liberty to choose WHO they wanna get with????

I've seen documentaries on prostitution & it really DOESN'T look like the Johns have control over the hookers @ all.

1st, she jumps into the car & whips outta condom [even if the John was overcome by temporary insanity long enough to wanna do her bareback].

Then, she starts telling him what she WON'T do.  Some hookers refuse to do anal, even if that's what he wants to do.  Alotta them won't kiss on the lips, even if he wants her to do it. 

Then, she tells him to "Hurry up" & get off so that she can go back to work.  If he does something that makes her feel uneasy, then she cuts it off & gets outta the car without giving him a refund.

It seems to me like the hookers control & dictate the encounter ahelluvalot more than the Johns do.

i guess the gov. would rather have some guy stalk little girls at school and wait till there is no one around to rape them, instead of him just going to the local "massage" house and get himself some. Some ppl cant do no better then to sell what god gave them. My point of view is do what you please just later on dont be bitching  about how you get treated. To me its whatever rocks ya boat just dont rock it in my direction.

Even though you're still gonna have sickos stalking children....   I definitely think that kids would be in a better situation if the govt. would just let those crazies run to the massage parlor [instead of staking out a girls' school].

The argument that law enforcement always makes is, "Neighbors complain whenever prostitutes are in their community.  It makes the street look dirty & increases traffic"!!!!  And I'm always like  

Shoot....   I think that streetwalkers ADD FLAVOR to a neighborhood.  LOL   It gives the community some sorta personality.  @ the very least, they could have designated hooker zones [kinda like drug-free school zones].

LMAO @ designator hooker zones! 

What, brothels aren't classy?   

Sex has been sold from the beginning of time. now it is just a social issue..

With some of the choices I have now..Masturbation is better!!

I recently made a blog stating that HOMELESS women should NEVER be homeless because of prostitution.

Make it LEGAL. A lot of  jobs would open as a result.

Then I can start my dream business of "disposible whorin' thongs"

What if her sex is no good?  She'll ultimately be homeless.

NO, I did not read the entire blog...

...but just like drugs, if you make it legal, the quality will go down.  And it would be very embarrassing to have a blow job listed on your taxes. Who will give you the w-2? LOL. Besides, it will increase over population, diseases, and what not.... But what about us women? If it were legallized, would we be able to walk up to a man and offer money for some dick? Its just way to many kinks in the idea.
