Prostitution should be legalized everywhere. With regulation of course to ensure the protection of the workers and clients.
Completely agree and in regards to many now illicit drugs too, I think.
I also think that open relationships should be much more normalized, if not the statistical norm. Just my opinion.
Polyamorus people deserve marriage equality!
I think that it’s more complicated than that.
Okay, so there’s regulation. Who bears the cost of compliance? What happens when a sex worker is out of compliance with safety regulations, e.g., they are infected with HIV and aren’t informing clients or using barriers? How do you handle that?
Keep in mind that a lot of people turn to sex work on an irregular basis, to pay for rent, drugs, or similar; very few of them are going to willingly go through any kind of licensing process, and most will lack the ability to pay for a license.
Yeah you can’t really require a license to do something like that, it is impossible to enforce. What you can do is offer safety systems. Free protection, free testing, safe harbor when needed, a safe space to work. People want to be safe, if you make it free and easy they’ll use those services and our societal cost goes down.
rather than legalized i think the better word is “uncriminalized” with the sort of support that any workers have. Revolting Prostitutes: The Fight for Sex Workers’ Rights was a good read that helped me gain more understanding
Could you explain the semantic difference for me?
