Prostitution Why It Should Not Be Legal?

Prostitution happens in many ways and it's a hard occupation to define. The people who are most easily identified as prostitutes (women standing on dark corners in shady parts of town, waiting for Johns to pick them up and have sex in the car or at an anonymous location) are the people who are the most vulnerable to violence and exploitation. They are also the ones who need the most help in terms of poverty, addiction to substances and mental health.

However, they are not the only types of prostitutes. A prostitute is also a person, male or female, who works for anonymous but rich companies where escorts can be hired to pleasure the clients or who sell their sexual services in a house where the clients visit them (whorehouses), to mention a few. Because prostitution takes many forms and is always "there" where people who do not want to see it do not have to, it is a very hard thing to legalize.

Don't get me wrong, I think legal prostitution is good but it is not a black and white issue. Legalization of prostitution does not eliminate the need some people, male and female, have to sell their bodies for food, housing, affording drugs they depend on, supporting family members who cannot do it themselves among other reasons. Even if brothels and escort services can be made legal, the answer to end violence against vulnerable prostitutes is to eliminate the vulnerability of poverty and that is pretty much impossible.

So yes, prostitution should be legal. There needs to be a regulation that defines ethical practices so sex workers can better defend themselves in court, have access to health care and denounce irregularities in their trade when people try to exploit them, enslave them or hurt them because of their occupation. However, even legalization would not end the problems some prostitutes have because not all prostitutes are even-minded, self-suficient people with some education working in organized brothels.

I know prostitutes on both sides of the spectrum (yes, I do) and the ones who make a conscious decision to be sex workers are still in danger, but they can read, they know their rights, they are for the most part sobber and functional people. They would benefit from legalization. They chose to be prostitutes, and they could be something else if they wanted to but they decided to work the sex industry as prostitues and that is that.

I also know the other type of prostitutes, who do not know how to read, have mental problems and do not know their rights, they are prostitutes because if they don't have sex for money, they'll starve and they cannot become sex workers at a brothel or through an agency because they are not standard beauties or have the refinement and sex knowledge required to be an escort. So they stand on the streets and get into stranger's cars. BQ: I usually take it to mean "I have different living standards than you and other people".

However, the "I've got morals" card is usually thrown around to imply that my or your living standards are superior and more desirable than others that are different. I have nothing against premarital sex and other people do, that doesn't mean that I have morals and they don't. It doesn't mean that they have morals and I don't either.

It means I have a different view on life and sex. It could be wrong, it could be right, but it doesn't mean that I have no "morals". I have morals.

I don't kill people because I have them, I don't steal, cheat, humiliate or falsely accuse other people of things because I know right from wrong, but my right from wrong is not biblical, is not Christian and it is no universal. Still valid and funtional though.

My opinion is the same as most of the other people, it's their body, and their choice. I guess I'm completely okay with it because I've known about it since I was kid. Here in Reno, it's socially acceptable, and if there's any mention of the mustang ranch here, no one is offended.

And I think your morals and values should be your own, not molded into what other people what them to be. They're in control of what they believe and what they want to do.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
