should red light zones be allowed?

[Bee]

why?

If its legal to sell, then it has to be legal to buy. I have no objection to people using the service of prostitutes it is 'the oldest profession' after all. I just want both sides to be safe.

What you need to do is make sure that it is legal to sell.

Imagine if you went into your local newsagent and bought a pack of fags and were arrested at the door because the cigarettes were smuggled. This is what is happening. We want to prosecute the newsagent as he knows they were smuggled.

The oldest profession in the world it's not prostitution, it's the profit with slavery.

I believe in the Swedish model (legal to sell but not to buy), it's not perfect but it’s a way to avoid human trafficking.

All other models applied in other countries demonstrates a fail in avoid violence against prostitutes or slave trade.

You believe that a men that buy services to prostitutes use to respect women in general?
Why a men needs prostitutes in this century? Why the clients does "not suspect" if a women is a sex slave?

They should legislate to make all pimps look like Huggy Bear

If Snoop Dog can do it off duty, so should real pimps

Sexist! Please change to include male prostitutes or don't you believe they exist? There are even brothels for women (Costa Rica for example and women's groups wanted one to open in Turkey.) What's good for the goose is also good for the gander....

So you make the transaction illegal by putting the purchaser outside the law and unlikely to want to involve the police surely that will drive it underground how does that protect those who are trafficked?

Nope not slavery I doubt Ogg & co had slave markets they would however have bartered and sex is one of the primary drivers with hunger so its either prostitution or grocer.


Rush Limbaugh calls Sandra Fluke a “prostitute”: Is prostitution really the world’s oldest profession?

Prostitution is required in these modern times because people want to use the services and people want to supply the services. Despite feeling such transactions go against my christian upbringing I don't feel I have the right to moralise about them. Don't get me on the subject of usury.

Well if you make it illegal even if the man suspects he won't do anything about it for fear of incriminating themselves. The (wo)man goes in, a lady / gent services them & they leave, the prostitute is probably scared into pretending they are willing by the pimp. Why would they suspect? Can you tell if the shop assistant that serves you is an addict or beaten by their spouse or the goods you are sold are smuggled?

Put them in a legal brothel where the prostitutes are registered, health checked & taxed. The bosses are inspected and regulated. Then trafficking goes completely underground and the police will want to pursue it.

They should be replaced with legalized brothels. Which can operate within industrial estates only.

What about London?

[AtW]

I believe its time for legalised brothels out of town.

In a nice leafy suburb in Surrey???

It happens but it's far, far less common. In the grand scheme of things, female prostitution is where 99% of the abuse and trafficking happens.

Prostitution is required in these modern times because people want to use the services and people want to supply the services

People have always wanted the services, and people have always been willing (or desperate enough) to supply them.

Wanting something is not a good argument for it to happen, especially when what you want is for other people to degrade themselves for your pleasure. There are people who would sell themselves into slavery to feed themselves and there are people who would buy them as slaves but that doesn't mean we should allow slavery.

why not if you can manage it so its not disruptive.
