I doubt if it's in their interest to make it a crime!

By:
Not paying a prostitute for sex would be a more obvious crime imo.

Legalise all drugs and prostitution and think of the tax revenue, prostitution is the oldest profession going, and drugs are going nowhere fast, no point fighting it.

By:
If the prostitute is plying his/her trade by choice then I see no problem with it at all.
|
|
By:
Prostitution is legal. That doesn't mean to say they'll be totally honest about their tax affairs - plenty of opportunity to be 'creative'
|
|
By:
NO

As I understand it, this debate is about criminalising the client rather than the prostitute
|

Yet again men get the blame for everything...
yet more discrimination again men  |

And your point is, Ken?

Joking aside, that was unfortunate.
No pun intended. Totally unaware of that |
|
By:
It's no business of the state if two consenting adults make an arrangement in this way.
|
|
By:
Except that no tax is being paid on the transaction for a 'service'!!
|
|
By:
They should not legalise it because then the prices would go up, then the big superstores would get in on the act undercutting the original ladies of the night.
|
|
By:
Good idea Steamship, you could leave the wife to the shopping while you go for a quick ****
|
|
By:
Even better. Do the shopping yourself, send the wife for a quick **** and get a discount at the till.
|
|
By:
They could even run some kind of disloyalty card.
|
|
By:
Agree with Eo - it's no business of the state.
If there is no tax being paid on the transactions then that is a separate issue. |

If prostitution is the oldest profession going, where did the first john get his money from?
|
|
By:
.. the fruits of his labour?

|
By:
Men wanting sex from women is perfectly natural
If women choose to sell it what is the problem, as log as it is their choice |

Why would any 'men' pay a woman for sex?
|
|
By:
I can see why a few of the regulars on this forum hope it doesn't become a crime.

Why would any 'men' pay a woman for sex? If they do not have a partner how else are they going to get it? |
|
By:
Don't you mean How are YOU going to get it?

By:
I'd rather have a w@nk with a bag over me head and a satsuma in me gob than pay for sex!
|
|
By:
 Well we all have our own fetishes |
|
By:
There's no deception involved in using a prostitute. You don't have to lead her up the garden path and build up her hopes.
You aren't going to let her down and break her heart. It's a wonderful contract in that respect. The price is agreed the deed is done and all concerned are happy. Were's the harm in that? I don't like the idea of pimps but that's another issue. |
|
By:
It's a wonderful contract insofar as neither apparently has any respect for the other.
|
|
By:
My god sounds like he's a careers officer for school leavers.
|
|
By:
I don't think respect comes into sex
Of course it is better if people stick to their caring loving partners but not everybody has that although I appreciate wives don't like the idea of their husbands visiting a prostitute |
|
By:
Whereas husbands are quite happy with the idea of the wife being poked by a giggalo
|

This topic was being discussed earlier on LBC.
An ex-prostitute called in and said she gave it up because she "got too old". She went on to say, "I've got a partner now. He gives me a bit of money. Just like prostitution really." |

You are right thin and crispy what is good for goose is good for the gander
I was thinking more of single men...but sex is a very strong drive |
