Edit to add my opinion so I’m not just replying “I agree” to 90% of comments. I think it should be legal, properly regulated, taxed and viewed as a profession. I haven’t personally engaged in it but I have no moral objection to it. I do hate the common sentiment that it was the individual’s “only option” though.
What about it makes it “Unfavourable”?
I’m just having a hard time believing that many prostitutes are doing it because they want to. And I mean actually want to and not because they’ve got other choices. Plus there’s a huge amount of human trafficking and outright slavery in the industry, but that’s hopefully something that can be addressed with regulation.
Look at the amount of OnlyFans users. I think that if there were a regulated medium to purchase sex, that human trafficking would render itself obsolete. There would be a massive amount of people that would partake if it was safe and legal. It would be the advent of a whole new industry.
Idk man, I feel like that’s work in general. Like would you be doing what you are doing right now if you could just do whatever you like? Or if you just a better choice?
A lot of us are just trying to make ends meet with whatever tools we got. I don’t think making prostitution illegal is gonna help the ones we want to help, but regulating it could. The focus should be having the working person to be the one in charge, not johns or brothels or any other third parties.
