Prostitution

[Churchill]

Yeah I knew that, but you know what I mean. Was trying to do a non pedantic poll.

Oh you poor naive girl.

Is anyone else alarmed that 3 people want to pay for sex with Atw or SA did you let sasguru have multiple votes

[NotAllThere]

But it is perfectly possible to be a prostitute and stay within the law (just not particularly easy).

Another similarity to being a contractor.

I don't think it's something you'd choose if you were designing your own utopia, but it's not the worse thing in the world and I don't see how driving it further underground and probably increasing the amount of money to be made as a result will help those people who are victims of trafficing or whatever.

Is keeping a brothel illegal? Surely a brothel is a good thing: safer than working alone; safer than walking the streets. If anything I would say the way it should be organised is licensed brothels with a code of practice.

Every man pays for it, the only variant is the means of payment.

Personally I couldn't give a monkies, but I think the government has really missed a trick here.

Legalise it, and tax it and they would bring in a shed load of money. Think of the jobs you could create: Hookers, Security, could even put a bar in the brothel, etc.

You then get to tax the brothel workers/owners. You reclassify the house as a place of business and charge business rates and get them that way. I'm sure they could think of millions of other devious ways to get cash.

It's something that anybody could do if they wanted to, no special skills needed, just lie back and think of england. Helps if you are good looking but i'm sure there are pleanty of desparate suckers out there that would pay for it with anybody.
