Is It Time For America To Install Legal Prostitution?

I have been all over this great country in every 48 states. I traveled as a sports fan, tourist, outdoor activist, and now as a profession in the trucking industry. Over the past 20 years, I have seen this land go through a massive divorce surge, a new epidemic called sexual harassment, and so on.

In addition, I have seen some of the worst women you can imagine. The street strollers found in the inner cities are really bad: strung out on drugs, no hygiene at all and usually full of diseases. The lowest of the low are the Lot Lizards who hang out at the truck stops and bother the heck out of us late at night.
"The women there are safe from crime, drugs and are constantly monitored for diseases."

In contrast, I traveled out to Nevada several times and witnessed the Bordello system out there and came away wondering why this great nation does not embrace this concept.

As a fellow tax-paying American, I feel this is the best way to curb the spread of disease, clean the streets of the nasties, put a tighter clamp on any child prostitution and in many ways, leave women in general society alone.

Look at how this is done in Nevada:

  1. The women there are safe from crime, drugs and are constantly monitored for diseases.

  2. Though I cannot provide and hardcore statistics, many of the residents in Nevada have told me that the divorce rate, rape and child assault crimes in Nevada are minimal because of the brothels.

  3. Almost all of the houses are out of plain site, eliminating the argument that children who see these places are irrevocably brain damaged.

  4. The folks are used to them for the fact that nobody bothers anyone.

  5. None of the brothels I have visited ever had any problems with violence. Something about sex really brings peace to a man.


  6. Some of the places I have visited stated that the bordello system is one of the first lines of defense against child trafficking.



Now I am certain many of you are vehemently opposed to this, due to God`s Law and such. But there really is no better way to deal with this. If legalized prostitution was instituted through the 50 states, online predators and sex crimes against underage children would almost disappear. Why take chances when there are legal alternatives? Always made sense to me.

In addition, I feel sexual harassment charges would drop dramatically. No reason for a man to ask a woman out for a dating risking any sort of legal troubles when he can just save money and party at the cat-house.

Finally, it does indeed bring in money into our crashing economy. Some argue that our government cannot find a way to tax the sex-industry: HOGWASH! Believe me, our government specialized in taxation.

Let's face it folks, prostitution is almost regulated in one form or another in every first world nation except for 49 states in the USA. The way our law enforcement goes about prostitution is not a good way either. Sure they make arrests and print names in websites and newspapers but is this the best way to go about it? I say no.

Some can argue about how this will ruin our children, I can counter on how several other things are worse: drugs, smoking, mindless violence to name a few. Are kids really as stupid as us grownups claim them to be? If they are, it`s our fault for not teaching them in a way so they CAN understand.

I say the Obama Administration should seriously look into this. We can solve a big problem with a successful long term problem. How each state dictates policy is up to them. This country can move forward and improve a very vital aspect of society if we can regulate and legalize prostitution properly now and not later.

  • Its a sensible argument, the problem is that politicians here only care about reelection or their corporate donors. So they don't wanna bother with the topic of prostitution. 2 many people it makes sense but remember we DO NOT have a representative government! 55% + of the people are in favor or legalizing pot. Only 3% of congress goes along withthe idea of decriminalizing at the federal level, around one % of us are millionares. 50% of congress are millionares. they clearly DO NOT represent us

  • There are some issues. I agree, it would help in some instances (and it isn't leaving, as it is the oldest profession known). But it would also bring other problems to the forefront.

    By the way, kudos for the lot lizard term! I haven't heard that in forever!

  • If prostitution were legal, then each time a guy would dump a girl after having sex with her, there would be a lawsuit for unjust enrichment, seeking the value of all sexual services rendered. I'm pretty sure most guys could not afford to have all the sex they're currently having for free.

  • Actually, you are inaccurate in your claim.

    Prostitution is legal in one other State, Rhode Island.

    It is extremely restrictive though. You can't operate a brothel, you can't have a pimp, and only one person can work as a prostitute at a given residence.

    Also, you can't advertise in person, or by material in the street.

    So I guess when you get around to visiting Nantucket.......

  • But if you legalize prostitution, you make it extremely hard for girls to find any guys to date

  • Go take a cold shower and come back to read this because you are going to need a few drops of blood in your actual brain to understand. Yeah we could end forest fires by just burning them all down, but that's kinda like pissing in your cornflakes isn't it ! If society doesn't hold some thing sacred then nothing will be; and you don't want to go there ask Rome ! This propaganda that you have been fed is 99% lies, try reading what the other side has to say now. Like the CDC stats or AFA charts !

  • I agree with you, there are a lot of things that people just are too close-minded about that we need to fix. Reading some of the arguments, it seems apparent that people are aggravated by anything that strays from what is normal.

    If you think about it, a prostitute could sell him/her self for free and that would be legal. How does money change this?
