What is your opinion on prostitution? Do you think it should be legal?

Did you read the article? The author writes about the reason for marriage changed throughout history. It went from women marrying for support to marrying for companionship which is due to women becoming more financially independent once they were legally allowed to work and later legally entitled to equal pay. So there’s some truth to what you’re saying but it’s not as clear cut as you’re making it out to be.


In regards to getting money after a divorce I’d encourage you to look up spousal support and why it exist. Not every woman who divorces is entitled to money and in some cases women end up paying men.


My source is the marriage class I took and passed this semester 🤓

Disregard this. It’s supposed to be a reply to a comment.

It should be legal. Have it set up like in Nevada where you have to go to a brothel. Doing this would take the power away from abusive pimps and sex traffickers. Unionize it so that way the prostitutes have the control of the brothel's and not some pimp.

You could have a brothel owner he could charge a small fee to the prostitutes for room rent like a few hundred a month. Then the owner can sell drinks and food for customers waiting. Plus with unionizing the prostitutes can set up retirement plans and get good healthcare. Not to mention they would set their prices.

It should be legal so we can regulate it for the safety of prostitutes and their clients. Each party should have to prove they’re STD-free, and on birth control in the woman’s case, before each session. And prostitution can be dangerous work but many prostitutes don’t feel safe seeking protection from aggressive, violent clients or pimps because they’re committing a crime too. If their work was legal they could report crimes against them to the authorities without fearing negative consequences.

I do think it should be legal as long as it’s safe and regulated. Mainly because lots of these men and woman who are sex workers get harmed and they cannot go to police because their job is illegal. I also see nothing wrong with it as long as it’s between two consenting adult in a safe establishment for both parties.

[Beautyforeverybody]

Some women are always going to be prostitutes whether it is legal or not. So by legalizing it, we provide those ladies security. After all they are human too.

[AccidentalCompliance]

Here in UK it is legal and I think it should stay that way

[MCheetah]

Option A. And I don't mind if some people say it should remain illegal, as long as they also aren't drinkers or smokers either (especially weed smokers), because I can't stand hypocrisy. So if someone chose B, they had also better be straight-edge or else, they can go to Hell with their double-standards.

[PhilEvans]

It *is* legal in civilised countries.

Without being so flippant, prostitution is legal in more countries than not. The US is oddly puritanical about anything related to sex

[JackSmy]

I would like to hear what women think about it, as most 'prostitutes' are women, and rarely men!

[NorthwestRider]

Well 74% of women voted to make it legal

[JackSmy]

@NorthwestRider Send the link to the poll.

[NorthwestRider]

I was talking about this poll on this question

[JackSmy]

@NorthwestRider So unscientific, and just biased. . .

[Zealashton]

keep it illegal, if it get legalized, it become a bull shit fest of a fagot goverments wanting to tax the wemon, and sex workers, it be total bull shit

[Astarlessnightsky]

There will be pristitution wether or not its legal or illegal, so i would make it legal to better control it making it safe for both the women and the men. Condoms mandotory, insurance, clean, ...

[Kurαȷ]

I think it should be illegal because it's not a job.
Prostitutes have tons of job opportunities at the nearest unemployment office.
They don't want real jobs because the majority of prostitutes are lazy criminal freeloading vermin.

[ShortCircuit]

It should be legal and I don't believe in government regulation on anything, prostitution being no exception.

However, I don't have a particularly positive view of prostitution personally.

[VanillaSalt]

For a better society prostitution should be illegal but simply because I hate women yes legalize it. I wanna see how many of you hoes turn to cash after the fact.

[evangeline777]

It's legal, It's called marriage. :D

[ShootShootBangBang]

Don’t degrade marriage or the role of either spouse.

[FCDALLASFAN]

@evangeline777 Zing!!🤣🤣🤣

[ShootShootBangBang]

@FCDALLASFAN quit calling women prostitutes just because they love someone enough to marry them. Maybe that’s why you’re alone.

[FCDALLASFAN]

🤣🤣🤣🤣That’s even funnier the second time. I wonder if you’ll do it again.

[evangeline777]

@ShootShootBangBang When you grow up, you will realise it is true for majority of the marriages.

[ShootShootBangBang]

It’s a partnership based on respect. Maybe if you were a little more grown up, you’d be married by now.

[AshViper]

@evangeline777 - maybe it's like prostitution when married to the town bicycle that everyone had a ride on first.

[FCDALLASFAN]

Oh, don’t mind me. I’m just here with the popcorn. I enjoy watching internet warriors cry.

[Dongtai]

This can’t be true. Some married people don’t even have sex 😂. What man tricked you into prostitution via marriage?

[evangeline777]

@Dongtai have you heard of a joke? And a woman, with the promise of sex, can get married, then entitled to get half of his money. Or those trophy wives? Getting married to a rich man? It's basically selling herself for her husband's money. It's the clever way. Not charging by hours. :)

[ShootShootBangBang]

I personally think you misunderstand marriage. It is a union between two people who decide to give their lives to one another.

[Dongtai]

It’s not a joke if you’re explaining why it’s prostitution. There’s plenty of women using their sexuality to get money while single. Not sure how marriage is legal prostitution. Are same sex marriages prostitution as well? What about marriages with multiple spouses like polyandry and polygamy?

[evangeline777]

@Dongtai Maybe you learn something:
theconversation.com/so-jane-caro-thinks-traditional-marriage-was-prostitution-31229
www.theguardian.com/.../women-prostitution-marriage-sex-trade
www.brainpickings.org/.../
I hope you can see the bigger picture and not picking some words to get upset about.
"I'm so in love with him, we're going to live happily ever after"
10 years later-
"I'm entitled to half of his money for the effort I put in this marriage" =>
Putting a price tag on every fuck basically.
And please, just read the most recent questions here about alimony etc.
This happens all the time!

[ShootShootBangBang]

@Dongtai well look at you!! Being all accomplished and what not. Clap clap clap! Good for you!

[evangeline777]

@Dongtai "marriage class" OMG this naivete is really adorable. So cute!

[Dongtai]

Are doctors naive for going to med school? I just assumed if I wanted credible knowledge on marriage, the smart thing to do would be to learn from someone who studied it enough to be certified to teach in a college setting. If you don’t like the concept of marriage cool. But don’t throw out misinformation out there so people jump in the boat with you.

[FCDALLASFAN]

It is amazing this thread is 17 comments long over some light trolling. Imagine if people spent this kind of time solving actual problems.

[ShootShootBangBang]

@FCDALLASFAN no people just proving dumb people wrong.

[FCDALLASFAN]

😂 😂 I’m not adding to this nonsense. I have a life.

[Dongtai]

Don’t be so assuming. It’s possible to comment on a troll thread and solve important issues. I think they call it multitasking. Brilliant minds can have fun too

[TinCanJim]

If you take a woman on a date, buy her dinner and take her back to a motel room... that's legal. Why should it be illegal to just pay up front and avoid all of the hassles involved.

[jshm2]

You're confused.

Matchmaking and escort services ARE legal.

Prostitution like trafficking is simply the darker and shady side of legally available services.

Saying prostitution should be "legal" is like saying burglary and thieving should not carry criminal sentences for the person or the buyer when caught.

[supercutebutt]

It should be legal and butt sex should earn u more.

[ShootShootBangBang]

You’re a gross whore.

[supercutebutt]

@ShootShootBangBang Would you care to apologize?

[ShootShootBangBang]

Why should I? You’re like the girls the football players at my hs school would gangbang behind the school after the game. Don’t want to be called that? Don’t be one.

[supercutebutt]

@ShootShootBangBang I've never been in a gangbang and in fact I have only had two different penises in my butt this whole year. And I only know one girl who got gangbanged by a bunch of football players (5 of them) and she is actually one of the nicest people I know. :)

[ShootShootBangBang]

Yep exactly you’re a gross whore.

[supercutebutt]

@ShootShootBangBang I respectfully disagree.:( And before this, I always thought you were kinda cool.

[Batkoo0]

This man is a idiot. You are amazing, sweetie. I love you, I want to be like you and I really think the way you think. :)

[supercutebutt]

@Batkoo0 Thanks! :)

[Batkoo0]

And I would love to sell my butt, but.. :)

[AFellowWeeb]

then people wonder why guys dont wanna marry this days :DDDDDDDD

[VertigoJ]

It should be decriminalised.

[OmNomaly]

Unpopular opinion expecting many down votes.

Why am I not surprised that majority voted yes for prostitution.
We are reverting back to primal ideologies. We focus too much on selfish behaviors that have a lasting impact on mental stability. No better than animals in heat.
There have been several studies on the mental impact of hooking up. None of them good.

[Drumlin2001]

Legalised and taxed accordingly

[elizamichale1]

Yes it should be legal we put a hell lot of efforts in earning our money
Its like just any other profession except we give it a personal touch

[magiusX26]

am fine with it becoming legal, its just not something for me.

[argyle]

Legal and regulated for safety. What people do to earn money, as long as it doesn't harm anyone, is none of my business.
