The prostitutes you mentioned would be fine under the Swedish system since they're under no risk and their johns under very low risk. That's the benefit of it.

The prostitutes you mentioned would be fine under the Swedish system since they're under no risk and their johns under very low risk. That's the benefit of it. The system in my country keeps prostitutes in fear for what police or johns might do to them. I'd definitely take the Swedish system as a compromise if they wouldn't legalize it straight-up. I prefer the situation in Nevada where they did legalize it. There's generally specific places (brothels) where you go for the prostitutes. They might invite you at bars. The women have a nice location, everyone gets STD checks, and there's security on-hand in case of unruly customers. Owner and state obviously makes money. Customers that are pro-prostitution are happy. Those anti-prostitution at least know the stuff is at a distance from them. If not decriminalization, it's the compromise I push in the U.S. with something like Swedish model if other side is dominated by hard liners.
