Prostitution should be legal.

Prostitution could be regulated, taxed, and controlled better if it was to be legalized. The government could gain a substantial amount of money from taxing prostitution, help cut down on rape/violence involving prostitutes, and reduce the number of hookers with STDs. Usually, a prostitute's mistress's word is law to them, meaning all sorts of things. If the government ran whore houses instead of lowlife dominatrixes, then prostitutes (and their customers) would be much better off. Some mistresses force their girls to fuck customers raw, increasing the risk of getting an STD or even becoming pregnant, which can negatively affect many more people. There's nothing that can be done about this since it is a shady and illegal business right now.

Prostitution may not be pathetic, but at least we can try to profit off of it. Right?

>>28 - Don't you get it? You don't remove the black marked by making it legal - there are always a mafia/crime gang who will take 95% of the girls income and tell her that the police will beat her and they will beat her and that they'll beat her familiy back home.
Because it's a large "industry", it's big bisness.
So just look at what >>33 says - and know that in DK there are (estemated) 1.000-1.500 girls who are forced to work in brothells.

I'm fore legal prostitution, but against trafficing
