Should prostitution be legalised as it is the oldest perfession.
If yes why I personally think it should but be like Holland and Germany.Have all the workers have weekly test etc.
Just wondering your opinions as I think if someone is going to fuck a prostitute surely it all being a safe place is better then a dirty alley way or something I mean people are going to use them illegally or legal so surely legal is best.
Also you no the girls are clean by the brothel being open and weekly tests etc.

In Great Britain excluding Northern Ireland, prostitution itself (the exchange of sexual services for money) is legal, but a number of related activities, including soliciting in a public place, kerb crawling, owning or managing a brothel, pimping and pandering, are crimes. |

Surely the health,safety,security and welfare of sex workers should be top priority? Your wording suggests the punters are in need of protecting. The W.I did some research which was quite interesing. |

My ex used to be a street walker long before I met her, but gave that up in favour of becoming an online "Escort". I took pictures for her and she took some of my earlier ones for here.
We both attended GUM clinics regularly  |

The question of legality isn't quite so straightforward anyway. As well as the option of legalisation of currently illegal acts, there is also the option of decriminalisation.
It's complicated and the finer details are beyond my limited knowledge but the two options differ in various ways. |

Given that many sex workers are trafficked and forced into it, I'd say the welfare and safety of the sex workers is far more important than that of the clients. |

There's no guarantee that the workers are clean x |

As with many things the laws are messed up and generally appease the frothing at the mouth 'do gooders', relics of a bygone era.
Adults should be free to do whatever they wish with their own bodies, including consumption, sale and consensual sex.
Our politicians are generally too timid to push for appropriate reforms. Workers' rights are particularly poor and should be improved upon. |

Echoing the above prostitution is legal, online based escorts working for themselves is totally legal, they even declare their earnings and pay tax
What isn't legal is where more than one person works under the same roof as that then becomes a brothel. Escort agencies are a fine line, if they advertise woman and state that you are only paying for time with that woman then that is perfectly legal, when it becomes them "selling" the woman for sex it then becomes illegal.
However to kind of answer your question, I do feel agencies should be allowed as should houses that have more than one girl and there should be some type of registration to enable the girls to be looked after, offered care and counciling, sexual health and protection from trafficking and violence.

Putting the person's health first should be a high priority to legalise prostitution, also the safety of the person as well. If it works elsewhere, why can't they use that model over here. |

Good question. With people saying it works elsewhere (ie legalising the activity with standards to adhere to etc) in some countries I believe it runs the risk of increasing demand and potentially increasing people being trafficked for sex.
I don't know enough about it but it's a tough subject as there are a lot of vulnerable people out there open to exploitation and sadly a lot of people willing to exploit for their own gain. |

Demand is fairly static, I believe. But even if it increased, full decriminalisation makes it much easier to police trafficking. Sex workers are able to be more open and feel free to, e.g., contact the police without worrying about being busted for working in a brothel. Plus clients feel able to do the same if they suspect trafficking.
All forms of criminalisation put the sex workers themselves at more risk of exploitation, because unsavoury types, organised crime, etc., can offer protection. The Nordic model (criminalising clients) has led to increased violence against sex workers for this reason. The safe clients have disappeared for fear of being arrested. The unsafe ones don't care as much.
If someone's being forced to do any job against their will, they should be protected by the law. Forcing someone to do sex work is a form of rape, we should be working harder on the protections, not maintaining laws which criminalise the victims.
Freely choosing to do sex work, on the other hand.. not an issue.  |

Being paid for sex in a brothel is not illegal.
It is only managing or being in control of a brothel that is illegal. |
