Where prostitution has been completely legalized there’s been a huge increase in demand, and the market has responded not with an increase in wages for sex workers but with an increase in slavery. In practice the least-bad policy seems to be legal/decriminalized to sell but illegal to buy.

- istjohn 7y agoTheir contention is that legal sex work creates a market that incentivises sex trafficking, in which case it should be illegal to protect women from being victimized.
- edflsafoiewq 7y agoCan male sex workers be legalized then?
- perilunar 7y ago> Where prostitution has been completely legalized there’s been a huge increase in demand... That was not the case in NSW (Australia) or in New Zealand, where decriminalisation led to NO increase in the size of the sex industry.
