Why doesn't it make sense? If they are coerced into sex with someone else, i.e. raped, then yes, the male is most certainly guilty.
The way I figure it prostitution is only a social evil if the women are put in danger. Legalise and regulate it and you'll stop many women from being abused.
Human trafficking and coercion into prostitution should be very illegal but if a woman (or man) freely chooses to sell their own time then who the fuck are we to say no? Is it any less honourable than cleaning someone's toilet?

If porn is legal, then prostitution should be legal. Why is it okay to accept money for sex if there's a camera running, but if not then everyone involved goes to jail?
That doesn't make sense, mainly because there is no way for a client to know if the prostitute is in the business willingly or not.
Someone tell Jackie Smith to start using that brain of hers.
On a sidenote, I believe prostitution should be legal, as soft-drugs should be legal. As many many *many* other things should be simply because it doesn't hurt anyone (except for tourists who start hallucinating and jump off a bridge).
Prostitution might not be a choice of the prostitute but I doubt that'd change in a positive way if it was illegal.

I'm unsure, for the most part Legalized Prostitution ala Amsterdamme seems to be safer and better on the whole. Because at least the work environments are safe and healthy.
I think two conditions ought to be part of the regulation:
1) Monthly (is that too extreme) STD checks, and healthy insurance (supplied by the brothel or government or what have you, I'm British so we don't need it but it's a concern)
2) Condoms for all penetrative sex. Now that's a little graphic and I apologise but it's necessary. A prostitute should have legal grounds to demand a customer use one.

This. Set up brothels for prostitutes to work in, completely cut out the whole "waiting on street corners" thing.rossatdi said:
It'd generally fall under "Refusal of Service" which is perfectly legal. You don't where a condom, she refuses to do the deed and you won't be able to use the brothel's services (except, perhaps, the toilets?rossatdi said:
)I can agree with these.rossatdi said:
Should the customer's medical records also be taken into account?
Perhaps a recent (last 3/6/12 months or something) clean bill of sexual health from the doctor or something. If we're making the guys wear condoms, it's less necessary, but erring on the side of caution is often a good thing.ZenMonkey47 said:
It kinda is legal here... in holland(the netherlands) that is, though it's more that the government just closes an eye . But then again, they want to cut it back due to the involvement of criminality and illegal prostitutes. As they want to remove all coffe shops within 250 m of schools!!!!!!!!!!!!

The problem is different in different countries. In South Africa where I lived, most of the prostitues and strippers did it for crack or because it was gang-affiliated, not really to earn some sort of living or pay for college or whatever. All the fried-out bedraggled prossies I saw lining up in the streets kinda put me off the idea of prostitution in general.
