Perhaps,that's why women who choose prostitution are so bellitled in the press and everywhere else.

Sex trafficking of KIDS is the #1 criminal industry worldwide. Craigslist was the #1 venue for these connections. As Jai says, what choice is there? Girls do not make a conscious choice to be sex slaves. Women sex workers are the same, just older. (Over 90% were victims of sexual abuse.) The criminals are the johns and pimps. Until prostitution is legalized, though, the problem will continue to grow.<br />Thanks for this post of such an important and complex issue.<br />xoRobynRawknrobyn.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15997241410192066577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445150318638144563.post-7365628939864275322010-09-30T15:35:52.029-07:002010-09-30T15:35:52.029-07:00Oh -- good synopsis of the issue and a thought pro...Oh -- good synopsis of the issue and a thought provoking post.

Some common sense regulation to protect both the women and the client would make it work.<br /><br />Would legalization make the business 'respectful'? In our society I doubt it, but we have to pull it out of any pain and suffering that has resulted from too many incidents of non-choice by some women. <br /><br />Prosecutors grab for the sensational and disgust me.<br /><br />Would I want my daughter to become a prostitute even if it were clean and legal? No. But it would be a different conversation if she chose the profession rather than was dragged into it by circumstance.Jerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04278403041887060649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445150318638144563.post-68478796844556715332010-09-30T13:22:37.631-07:002010-09-30T13:22:37.631-07:00Had I the power I would legalize prostitution in a...Had I the power I would legalize prostitution in a heartbeat. Sex is one of the most basic of human needs, it is wrong to only allow it within "socially acceptable" constraints. There are people who do not feel they should have to court a permanent partner in order to have sexual freedom.<br /><br />In Nevada prostitution has been legal for many years. There are little problems reported by law enforcement, business people nor the women who do this by CHOICE!

However, I do agree that demonising the sex workers while letting the men who employ the sex workers get off scot free is ridiculous. If men were not such slaves to their desires, there wouldn't be so many sex workers filling the demand.<br /><br />I thought it was interesting that Tracy Quan mentioned that many sex workers are coping with very limited options. I think that is the root the of reason why many people (specifically girls) choose that path. But it's not really a choice when it's the only choice, is it? Whatever class you come from, desperation can drive you to do things you otherwise wouldn't.<br /><br />JaiJai Joshihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04858987106548357551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445150318638144563.post-28723468979738164032010-09-30T10:33:38.545-07:002010-09-30T10:33:38.545-07:00The only problem I have with what those girls did ...The only problem I have with what those girls did is that they told the newspapers about it. If prostitutes want to be respected as members of a profession they should behave in a professional way, i.e. discreetly. I hope Tracy Quan agrees with me.Gorilla Bananashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13044093013423635830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445150318638144563.post-19994943846391935482010-09-30T08:14:41.853-07:002010-09-30T08:14:41.853-07:00Legalizing prostitution would probably take it out...Legalizing prostitution would probably take it out of the back alley and allow for more safe transactions. <br /><br />The there are guys that make that make prostitution a discouraging choice of careers for the average girl though.Bathwaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18286545216706532921noreply@blogger.com
