I would say no to brothels.

Read the article again then, especially the last paragraph. ;) I agree, there should nto need to be brothels at all, but they shoulkd not be not there because state simply bans them, but because society and culture would be such - its people, that is - that the need to have them is not there.

A "moral" society would not have them, one would guess. That they are being had maybe means society is not as moral as some members of it claims. Or sexual liberality is not agreed to be necessarily immoral, as many religions claim.

Also, society's norms and cultural rules on what is moral and what not, may be different in different places.

If state simply forbids something without the crime argument being true, as the essay describes for the given examples, then this prohibition is not right in itself, but only means that some people, want to have and claim the right and power to order others what they are allowed to do and what not.

And that - libertarian freedoms versus pesky state authority commanding people around t enforce their subjugation under state authority - is what the essay is really about. ;)

No, this all is not about brothels and sexcual morality in the first. Thats an illustrating opener only.

Take a chill pill then book a flight to LA and let your self go for once, I guarantee some of those girls will empty more than yer bleeding wallet, oh yeah and let us all know how it went. :haha:

At least I've found out what a snow bunny is and also a chocolate one, I was thinking what the hell is he bleeding talking about bunny rabbits for when it's a brothel\prostitution thread. :haha:

Ask him if he knows what half and half or around the world means? :haha:

Just kidding I don't do that anymore ... they are unclean. I wouldn't mind witnessing to them though that what they are doing is bad for their health and that they are going to get old someday and nobody is going to care, but that Jesus loves them and wants to make all things right again for them.

I do feel sorry for them :yep:

I personally wouldn't visit such a place.

It isn't the same as I say ban it.

Allow it, but under strict regulations.

Brothels are allowed in Germany and in Denmark.

In both countries there are regulations.

Like the Danish brothels had to close during the corona lockdown.

A woman can go to a bar every night, accept drinks from people and choose to have sex with as many men as she wants and that's OK


But if she takes a dollar, all of a sudden it is an immoral act. :doh::doh::doh::doh:

In the early 90s, when I was stationed in Pearl Harbor, the main street in Waikiki was awash in ladies plying their trade every night. Right across the street from the police station. If you were young and single or if you were a Japanese businessman in travel, forget about walking down the street unmolested.

I'm not sure you really served in the Military if you didn't partake of the Ladies Services at some point.
:hmmm:

Oddly enough, strip clubs or as they are called, " gentleman's clubs " are perfectly legal. One could get lap dances there or other, um, assorted services as the prices are commensurate with the level of services provided. Therefore, in a way, brothels are perfectly legal.

The further out into the Pacific you get, the more liberal the strip clubs. Someone finding oneself sitting in a chair in a strip club in a place like Guam (while getting lost on the way to bingo, of course), and the term "meat seat" begins to take on a whole new meaning...

Support your local ladies of the night gentlemen, after all, Ladies of the Night Lives Matter too you know, and get this you folk who don't agree with these ladies, they're providing a service that the gentlemen's wives or girlfriends are not providing, it must be that because the alternative means that you yanks are ugly gits. :haha:

La Grange is a song by the band ZZ Top about the "best little whorehouse in Texas".
I posted this in the useless facts thread too. But it is à propos here as well.

I read a lot and of course, this isn't my first rodeo. :D Strip clubs or things like that were never my thing. I can think of much better things to do with my time and of course, much better people to do them with.

I would imagine that's very true as I had relatives tell me of their time in Vietnam and the clubs not far from Subic Bay in the Philippines. From what they told me, it sounded like a zoo or that the circus had come to town.
