Prostitution.

This one’s a lightning rod on both sides of the aisle: conservatives view it as a disgusting practice that is immoral and evil, liberals view it as exploitative and demeaning to women.

The way I look at it, legalizing prostitution will create a far, far better world. Right now, there are basically four classes of prostitutes (male and female):

Street-walkers, generally viewed as the bottom-rung of this ladder. Most commonly associated with pimps, drugs, and disease.

Organized girls, who operate as a part of a group. This is your classic “massage parlor” or the rare brothel.

Call girls, which actually runs a rather large gamut, from those who are barely removed from the street to $10K per hour models/actresses.

Sex slaves, the forced prostitution that actually overlaps considerably with the other three but is marked by there being absolutely no choice in the matter (a case can be made that many prostitutes have no choice due to their addictions, but for my purposes, I’m talking about people actually imprisoned).

The primary reason why number 4 exists, and pimps exist, is because prostitution is illegal. With legalization, you’ve now removed most of the ability for either to exist. Yes, there may still be slaves, especially in the case of minors, but it’ll be significantly easier to identify and locate such cases. Pimps would be gone; prostitutes have very few protections from such predators due to the illegal nature of their business, but if you make it legal, there are now police involved, there’s a labor board, there’s the EEOC, etc.

With legalization, steps can be taken to regulate the industry (don’t tell me you think the industry can’t be self-taxed, sustainably). Mandatory drug and STD testing. Programs to help women segue from the trade if desired. 401(k)s. Medical insurance. The world would change for these people in a significant way, removing those who see no alternative and leaving only those people who actively enjoy doing the job.

We can save significant sums of money on law enforcement.

We can have increased tax revenues.

We can remove this stigma against pros and their clientele; seriously, anybody who thinks that we’re talking about a tiny percentage of the population hasn’t been paying attention. Men hire women. Women hire men. Men hire men and women hire women, it’s been going on for thousands of years and it’s not going anywhere. At some point, we have to just accept that this is going to happen, regardless of how much we say, “Bad person, stop that!”

Also, we can stop being hypocritical with ourselves. I don’t know how we got where we are. It’s legal to have sex and it’s legal to earn money. It’s legal to pay a man to jack-off into a cup for the purposes of having a baby. It’s legal to go on a date and decide, based on how much money was spent, whether or not to have sex with the other person. It’s legal to barter (“I’ll suck yours if you suck mine”). It’s legal for a married couple to agree on a price for sex (“You want that new car? I know how you can get it….”). It’s legal to pay money for all sorts of pleasurable things, like massages and spa trips. But for some reason, this one area, paying for sex with somebody, is illegal.

Quick disclaimer: no, I have never used the services of a pro. However, I can see many logical reasons for doing so for many people. People whose physical appearance is undesirable, those whose fetishes are just too far removed from the norm, widows/widowers who don’t want attachments again, married people who need more but can’t have it and don’t want to ruin their marriage, etc. There are many logical reasons.

My most unpopular political opinion is the issue of "Right to Secession".
I do believe that every human being and by extension every group of people have the right to self-determination. Whether good or bad, right or wrong, they have a God-given right of choice which nobody can take away.
Forcing a group of people to stay in a State is like Boko haram which forces people to accept their religious views. The only difference is that one is religious while the other is political. Not many people buy my view though.

Nice. Op, do you share the same views with the Op?

I can't say for sure. I don't have a solid thought on the issue of prostitution but I know that it can never be stopped because prostitution can be as private as sexual intercourse between two couples. Most especially nowadays that we now have "Runs girls" whose activities are very difficult to decode talkless of gathering enough information to charge them to court. Only those ones who stay by the road sides can be stopped and what is the use in being able to stop the ones and leaving the "Runs girls". But what I know is that if prostitution proves pragmatic in helping me achieve things like a strong economy Ala Las Vegas I will legalise it.
