Don't forget that there is always market for exploitation itself. The whys of prostitution are more complex than making someone cum - there will always be sick people that enjoy the shadiest of places, exactly because the girls are broken, terrified and so on. Legalization won't help at all with fighting that type of crime.
- bostik 11y agoTo a degree, true. Making voluntary prostitution both legal and open could (and should) cause the illegal kind to stand out more. So even as the market for exploitation remains the same, it would not be as easily masked by other activities in its respective category. Surely it's a net positive to relieve police forces' resources to investigate and work on things that matter? (I realise there is an almost ironic conflict here: I just categorised voluntary prostitution a non-crime, so I'm as much a biased actor as someone holding the opposite opinion.)
- venomsnake 11y agoI am all for legalization - no adult should be considered criminal for stuff that s/he does with his body voluntarily. Just noting that it won't be a silver bullet in preventing trafficking and suffering. Whether it will make it stand out - I doubt it. Having a legal front will be even easier.
