Legal, if it's properly controlled. Prostitution encourages slave-trade in sex, and drug addiction. I'm against both of these things - if people can make a living from sex, without fuelling these other practices, then fine. I have no moral objection to "sex for money".
Which wasn't an option in your poll, and it seems unclear how I should vote if that's my opinion, because you gave so little context.
Legal in properly controlled brothels, illegal for the client soliciting women on the street, not illegal for the prostitute at all, but they get redirected towards the regulated areas.
what is exactly is 'properly controlled'? that sounds a bit big brother to me.
a lot of people involved in prostitution have lives that are too chaotic to fit into 'properly controlled' brothels, where working times are specific and often the workers are fired for being late, etc. street prostitution will never go away because there is both need and demand. what needs to happen is better understanding of harm reduction techniques and welfare-centred policing.
I know, but last I knew about this - a while back I admit - it was true that most street prostitutes were driven by drug abuse and giving most money to their pimps and risking HIV - all not very good..
I see no issue about selling sex in abstract ( not for me but..) but in reality it is a shit lifestyle for most, driven by drug abuse and coercion. WE are talking things more important than minimum wage here..
