If you legalize it you can arrest the human traffickers while enabling professional sex workers to be professionals just look at the enlightened approach to the problem taken by Australia. No brothels allowed and no pimps but independent sex work is legal.
- fw_double_e 7y agoso you're advocating for regulatory capture? That'll go just like the legal pot industry; prohibitively expensive licensing that only goes to the already big players in the game.
- throwno 7y agoWow, if prostitution is legal that means we can have prostitution startups, and prostitution IPOs! Corporate prostitution backed by SoftBank and Saudi sovereign wealth! What a world we're making!
- Fjolsvith 7y agoIs that what's happening in Canada?
- Fjolsvith 7y agoExcept the sex industry isn't at all as scalable as the pot industry. You can't grow a field of ass and sell it yourself. Plus, the cost of entry is pretty low, I hear.
- GhettoMaestro 7y agoI’ll permit regulatory capture, rather than accepting “pimp-hand” capture.
- 9nGQluzmnq3M 7y agoBrothels are allowed in most (but not all) Australian states including NSW (Sydney) and Victoria (Melbourne), they're just tightly regulated.
- Fjolsvith 7y agoPlus, you'd have the assistance of legal sex workers in rooting out the traffickers.
- rm_-rf_slash 7y agoNice use of Aussie slang, mate.
- nsxwolf 7y agoNothing's funnier than Aussies watching American baseball in a pub during the 7th inning stretch... "...Root, root root for the home team!"
- briandear 7y agoAny evidence of that being true? Some sex worker is going to helpfully point out how Alex is bringing in East European “models” or how Miguel just brought some girls up? And what’s going to happen to the legal sex workers when they start snitching on the Rudaj or Zetas?
- Fjolsvith 7y agoAny Canadians want to weigh in on this?
- Fjolsvith 7y agoThere hasn’t been a recorded murder of a sex worker in Vancouver in nearly a decade.
