> I wonder who exactly the opponents of sex-legalization are trying to "protect". Trafficking victims? They will be vastly better served by a well regulated workplace. The sex workers themselves? I think this article debunks that myth. To play devils advocate, * Regulation does reduce the risk, but reducing the risk may also increase the amount. Similar to legalizing drugs making them less dangerous but also more common. * The article doesn't debunk the other position, as the sex workers interviewed may not be representative of the majority. That is exactly the claim put forth by the proponents, in fact (whether it is true or not, I don't think we can tell).
