Why Shouldnt Prostitution Be State Sanctioned?

Crack is not even the strongest form of cocaine...

It's the illegality that creates the opportunity for gangsters, they have much less traction with legal activities, simply because they are legal.

Of course.

Have you never seen the frenzy a woman gets into when she is pre-menstrual and needs her hit of chocolate?

Ok say you have a list of 200 addresses on your patch which you believe are involved in prostitution. Which ones contain slaves and are therefore worth visiting?

Now if you could compare that list with a licensed addresses list and 190 addresses match up. Now which addresses are worth visiting?

I would be most surprised if the police did not already know of the premises on their patch already. I doubt one would operate for very long before they became aware of it. Convenience for the state is also a poor excuse for intrusion into peoples' private lives. It is along the same lines as the argument for the storage of DNA profiles - it would be extremely convenient for the state to have everybody on it, yet most people would object to that.

I found it quite interesting after hearing Harperson called for it to be closed, to have a read of Punternet, which has a discussion forum - the attitudes there of both women and men seems pretty far removed from the exploitation claimed. I got the impression that most of those women just want to be left to get on with it away from do-gooders trying to save them and people with an agenda.

The majority of them do just want to be left alone, and with regulation - after they've met the requirements (ie no std's etc) they will be, they'll have the occasional inspection etc - pretty much like food inspectors. Regulation would help the small minority of prostitutes that are being abused get the help they need as well as freeing up the Old Bill to deal with real crimes...

Of course they know, just like they know who most of the drug dealers and other criminals are.

In fact I know of one, where there is a police station on the same road.

The police turn a blind eye in most cases because its a much better solution than vulnerable women walking the streets. From time to time they pop in, buts its usually just an informal chat and they are seen to be doing something about it.

Well exactly. So let them register and be checked out. Stops the police wasting their time (OUR MONEY) checking out "legitimate" addresses and gives them more time to deal with the ones NOT on the net saying how happy they are.

Win for us. Win for the legitimate girls. Win for the punters. Win for the slaves.

Yet you don't want it?

The majority of prostitutes don't do it as a rational career move, they do it to fund habits. Addictive habits to illegal substances that in turn move them into whole new circles.

The only (ex)prostitute I know did it (in Taiwan) to finance her property portfolio...

If it were legal would I have to wear all that health and safety gear?

I think we are talking at cross-purposes slightly. I am against there being some controlling authority which issues a licence to a woman that allows her to be a prostitute. I am not against there being some mechanism to inspect a premises to ensure there is nothing untoward going on, however it should only be for that purpose, and not to say what someone can or can't do.

I'm sure from time to time they do. Dish out their own kind of punishment, wink wink.

Yes. Particularly if executing the four sprung duck technique. Typical injuries being the springs coming off her knees or hands and hitting the punter. Or choking on the duck whistle if accidentally bounced into a wall head 1st. Remember, keep her strapped down with the appropriate H&S gear.

I think a complementary 'service' was available occasionally.
