Why should prostitution be legalization?

Answer 1

Tough question. From a social standpoint, if you legalize it you can regulate it and tax it, which means clean men and women and profit to the government. It would also hurt the mob, drive alot of pimps out of business and maybe lower some forms of crime. The flip side is that you as a society are acknowedging publicy that sex for money is acceptable. I don't see that happening in the US on a national scale for quite some time.

The effects would undoubtedly be positive as the answerer said above. The only problem is the 'message'. However, if we got over the idea that just because something is legal means it's acceptable, and accept the idea that sometimes something is legal because arresting people and throwing them in jail for it isn't always the best way to deal with a problem then the message would no longer be an issue and legalizing prostitution would just be saying that even if its not acceptable prohibition isn't working to stop it.

Answer 2

To make it safer for both the hooker and the client - cutting out the mob connections, that is, the pimp and the drug-pusher who may have got her into virtual slavery. Also to be able to organise regular health checks.

However, much of the appeal of using a hooker is the forbidden and dangerous aspect of it.
