She/He is paid by the client to spend time with him/her. What happens during that time is by mutual consent only.
That's how it is now. You're not changing anything. You're only making more difficult for the prostitute (all types of prostitutes) to find clients and calling it "protection from exploitation".
I thought you didn't want to dictate how people live their lives? The escort can use the same medical facilities everyone else does, since she/he is not doing anything illegal.
You know, you're just as bad as Dann when it comes to twisting meanings and words. Regulating health is not dictating someone's life. Telling them to not do it outright period or telling them you can do it but your customers can't, is.
Not really. It's regulating how those people who wish to sell their time and attention and those that wish to purchase it can operate.
My bold! There see!!! "regulating". Didn't you mean "dictating"? I mean, you did mix up the words before.....
Bye the way, no it doesn't. It forbids people to use the services that the prostitutes offer. It's no different than what's happening now.
It allows women and men who enjoy performing sexual favours for money to do so. It puts them on the right side of the law, so they have the protection of it. It stops "managers" taking exploitative amounts of money off them. It stops the formation of brothels. Basically, it treats them as human, not a service.
No, it doesn't. Not in any way. Here's an example of what you are proposing. Let's say you make cakes. The government is going to tell you this:
"Hey, you can make this cake for people but you a) can't have a store, b) a person take care of the business end of your bakery while you cook if you choose to, c) no one can buy your cakes, d) if we catch anyone at all eating your cakes, whether it's from your business or just because you feel like it, the eater is at the risk of being arrested and possibly spend money in court e) you can't tell anyone that you make cakes, f) if someone claims to get sick from your cakes, you have no defense g) if you get sick yourself there is no way you can be covered by health insurance.
"However we guarantee you won't get arrested for selling cakes."
...do you see how stupid that is? Is that helping you make money at all? Let's see you be an engineer with all those stipulations on you.
Because that does not appear to solve the problem of exploitation, which from my research appears to be mainly associated with brothels (both legal and illegal), managers/pimps and street walking.
And keeping it illegal, in any form, has helped? The articles about this law that actually went to the streets and talked to the street walkers all said the same thing: the street walker don't see a difference. In fact, they said they have it worse.
You are so worried about exploitation yet your idea does absolutely NOTHING to lessen it. All it does is make it harder for prostitutes (the ones who want to be prostitutes) to get advertising, steady customers, a manager who really wants to run the business without abuse, health care, and a safe place to work. For the street walker it sends them further underground, with customers who are paying less money, and no hope of getting any aid at all.
Congratulations! You've made a bad situation worse.
Now. Coming back to the topic at hand, this to me shows a reason why prostitution is illegal. Obviously to me, the only thing that Ivor cares about is that there is no "exploitation". That's a moral stance. His solution does nothing to help the prostitute, whether they want to be in the business or not, but says it will work simply because it will punish men who want to buy sex. That again is a moral stance. Ivor, you've also said something about billionaire cheating men who write off a visit to the prostitute on their taxes. Again, a moral stance said to inspire anger at those awful, awful men.
(Of course, he's forgetting the poor lonely men (and women -- yes women go to prostitutes too! I've seen it!) who aren't rich but just want to some human interaction. Oh, but as Ivor put it, and again, this is an approximation of what he said: that's why hands can reach their genitals)
The only reason I've seen from all the anti-legal prostitution stance is morals and high brow preaching.
No real reason at all..........
