Prostitution is legal. Its called pornography....I think that it should be if it could be organized in a way where those under the age of eighteen are unaware that it is legal.
Do you think that it should be legal? Why or why not?
Thanks for all answers

Why don't you explain how pornography is prostitution. I can't wait for this!
I do think prostitution should be legalized. I think it would be much easier to monitor and regulate the industry, and it would help to keep children out of the business. .
Does legalized prostitution increase human trafficking Journalist s Resource Research for Reporting from Harvard Shorenstein Center
"A 2012 study published in World Development, “Does Legalized Prostitution Increase Human Trafficking?” investigates the effect of legalized prostitution on human trafficking inflows into high-income countries. The researchers — Seo-Yeong Cho of the German Institute for Economic Research, Axel Dreher of the University of Heidelberg and Eric Neumayer of the London School of Economics and Political Science — analyzed cross-sectional data of 116 countries to determine the effect of legalized prostitution on human trafficking inflows. In addition, they reviewed case studies of Denmark, Germany and Switzerland to examine the longitudinal effects of legalizing or criminalizing prostitution.
The study’s findings include:
- See more at: Does legalized prostitution increase human trafficking Journalist s Resource Research for Reporting from Harvard Shorenstein Center
- Countries with legalized prostitution are associated with higher human trafficking inflows than countries where prostitution is prohibited. The scale effect of legalizing prostitution, i.e. expansion of the market, outweighs the substitution effect, where legal sex workers are favored over illegal workers. On average, countries with legalized prostitution report a greater incidence of human trafficking inflows.
- The effect of legal prostitution on human trafficking inflows is stronger in high-income countries than middle-income countries. Because trafficking for the purpose of sexual exploitation requires that clients in a potential destination country have sufficient purchasing power, domestic supply acts as a constraint.
- Criminalization of prostitution in Sweden resulted in the shrinking of the prostitution market and the decline of human trafficking inflows. Cross-country comparisons of Sweden with Denmark (where prostitution is decriminalized) and Germany (expanded legalization of prostitution) are consistent with the quantitative analysis, showing that trafficking inflows decreased with criminalization and increased with legalization.
- The type of legalization of prostitution does not matter — it only matters whether prostitution is legal or not. Whether third-party involvement (persons who facilitate the prostitution businesses, i.e, “pimps”) is allowed or not does not have an effect on human trafficking inflows into a country. Legalization of prostitution itself is more important in explaining human trafficking than the type of legalization."
I've read this before, and I'm not buying it. First of all, how do they know HOW MANY are illegally (key word being "illegally") trafficked into the country when it is ILLEGAL, and no one is monitoring or keeping track? The only way they can know is by arrest records, and that would only count in cases in which the person/people are CAUGHT and arrested and charged.Does legalized prostitution increase human trafficking Journalist s Resource Research for Reporting from Harvard Shorenstein Center

Yes, it should be legal and monitored like it is in Germany. If you make it illegal like it is now you just leave the business in the hands of street criminals and thugs.
No way am I buying that legalizing and regulating puts MORE women in danger.
Another thing to consider . . . even if a woman willingly goes to another country to become a prostitute, if a person brings her into a country illegally for the purposes of prostitution (even if she is a willing participant), she will be counted as a person who was a victim of human trafficking.

Consider that while people sit around trying real hard to think of justifications and rationalizations, untold scores of women and girls are suffering. Priorities, priorities.

The study is based on data gathered and analyzed scientifically. Your dismissal is based on.....?
Too many people are too ready to make fucking excuses while people are suffering. Here we see one of the bitterest fruits of 60 years of indoctrination into the belief that "vice" can't really mean anything other than raining on somebody's good time, that "if it feels good, do it" is the real Golden Rule, and that 'morality' only ever existed as a way for an oppressive authority to control people.
