Are prostitutes criminals

Scroll to see replies

Are they criminals, not by the fact they are prostitutes no.

But surely they would have to solicit themselves which is illegal and therefore would tecnicaly make them criminals.

Personally I think there's nothing wrong with a woman making a living pleasing people. The men are happy, the women can make a good living for little hours work so they are happy. Everyone a winner :smile:

Drug addicts and sex slaves anyone forced and vulnerable people on the game are obviously wrong.
A consensual adult female choosing to have sex in exchange for money can be a wonderful thing.

Back to the original question..
Is it illegal? Probably
Would the police care? Probably not

Here we observe the "MY religion says it's immoral therefore NO ONE should be allowed to do it, even if they don't follow that religion" excuse.

Why don't you just let people make up their own minds and choices instead of using your outdated beliefs to force an agenda on people?



My beliefs might be outdated, but I grew up in a traditional and conservative background.
I believe that people need to be pushed into the right direction

It is not older than farming.
Fact is prostitution and escorting as seen a as glamorous, but it is the opposite, so by criminalizing we can solve a lot of problems.


Prostitution is not seen as glamorous and by criminalizing you create more problems, it is the equivalent of prohibition. Prostitution is always going to exist but by keeping it legal, you can do more to tackle actual criminal elements that can be associated with it, prevent it from actually being completely controlled by criminals, reduce it and keep those in the business safe.

What's right to you isn't right to many other people. You need to understand this before putting your bigoted views across.

What is your definition of a bigot?

Not controversial- bigoted. In order to have an opinion on the subject, you have to be in possession of at least the bare facts and figures. Simply stating that prostitutes are criminals won't make it so because you say so.



I respect the fact that you can have a conversion with me, without using insults.
People on here love to insult and throw abuse at me

I was brought up in a strict Catholic environment. Everything was a sin, even farting. Having other people's views foisted on you and you in turn foisting them on others isn't your right or as you call it "pushing them in the right direction". You may not mind walking around with someone's hand stuck up your arse to make your lips move and your brain think, but the rest of us (hopefully) don't.

Indeed it is and I think prostitution and escorting are crimminal acts.


Wrong yet again. prostitution is not illegal.

I also cant see anything wrong with it if its between consenting adults. A woman or a man should be able to do what they want with thier own boides without people like you poking their noses in.

Rather than driving it underground I'd support legal brothels, so prositites get better protection.


Would George be wanting to make pornography illegal as well?

A good portion of prostitutes do not practice safe sex.

They can ruin the community.

Porn is different, and porn companies contribute to a taxable industry.

I don't think it's a criminal act. I think the women that get involved in it are usually vulnerable and perhaps naive and exploited and this is a very sad thing. I have some sympathy for the argument the man should be prosecuted, there is something a bit sick about abusing young women in this way - particularly if they are mature unlike these barely adult women. Don't agree with the 'oldest profession' mantra, it may well be true but this type of statement has been used to justify all manner of abominations. On balance probably best to tackle the lack of educational and social ills behind prostitution and then if anyone still wants to do it, fine.

So what evidence do you have of this?

All the more reason to regulate it so they cna undergo regular healthchecks.

Many prostitutes are taxpayers.

Legalising brothels would be a good way of making sure they do pay tax.

Why do you want to enforce your own moral values on other peoples sex lives, but you are ok with porn?

If you are bothered about them runining the community, all the more reason to have them in controlled zones.

You managed to show an ignorant and distasteful side to your views of poor people and now you are trying to enforce your morals on everyone else.

And to confirm again

PROSTITUTES ARE NOT CRIMINALS HOWEVER MUCH YOU WOULD LIKE THEM TO BE.

I do not have the evidence, but the ones who do drugs do not practice safe sex.

Yes regulation is needed.

If brothels can ensure that prostitutes pay tax, then I have less of a problem with brothels.

Because porn is much safer, it can be seen as just entertainment and is a billion pound industry and thus porn companies pay taxes and provide jobs

Again I do not hate poor people, but I just want to point out certain people

So you are making it up.

You do realise its called protection for a reason and the prostitute has more reason to want to practice safe sex,

You strike me as a hypocrite and pretty ignorant. You make these threads, but you dont really have a clue either in this or your previous trolls.

Do you think an addict cares about not catching an std?
No she cares about getting high.
Legalising brothels may increase the amount of people who use them. I'm not saying this is a good or bad thing, just a likley side effect.
It may also keep people safer, increase tax revenues and control where they are.

I see no advantage for anyone in keeping brothels illegal.

So provide me with some data showing what % are addicts and what % practice unsafe sex.

Yes I do think even addicts will be keen not to ctach STDs.

All the more reason to let them carry out thier business in safe zones and establishments so they cna undergo regular health checks.

You would rather just drive it underground, making it more dangerous for them. nice one.

I will post such data when I get on my laptop.

I know that we will not agree on most things but you do agree that prostitution is wrong and outdated?

Ive already said. If its between consent adults, then its fine by me.

I think adults should be free to choose and they dont need your moral nudges.
Even george went that wau if you do some research.

No I dont agree its outdated as theres obviously a demand.
