Now and then the discussion about prostitution in Denmark comes up to the surface. It's those who's against and those who's for

Then they take a look at their brother-country Sweden and see what happened there after they made it illegal.

Then the discussion somehow dies out. until it again hit the surface

Here the Danes see it as something naturally thing.

We should consider the objective of legislating prostitution.


There was a time, in the United States, where the acts involved in prostitution, when performed outside marriage, were illegal. We had fornication laws which prohibited sexual acts outside marriage. Under those circumstances, it makes sense for prostitution to be illegal -- there were already existing fornication laws. It could be safely assumed that the prostitute and customer were not married.

Currently, any fornication laws have either been repealed or are not prosecuted. The acts involved in prostitution are legal when done for free. I don't understand the logic in making it illegal when it is not done for free.

That is a difference between a prostitute and a sexually liberated lady. Both choose who they wish to have sex with and how often. But only one charges money. We may morally disagree with a sexually liberated lady choosing to have many sexual partners, but there is no talk about arresting her and throwing her in prison. Her choice, her consequences.

I think that everyone can agree that a person being forced into prostitution against their will is a bad thing. So we would be on firm ground if we had laws written to protect people who are forced into it and to prosecute those who force people into prostitution.

Unfortunately, the way the US laws are written, there is no difference between someone forced into prostitution and someone willingly choosing to be a prostitute. It may be difficult for some people to understand how a person may choose that profession, but it does happen.

I do not understand how the government can make something that is legal when done for free, to be illegal when money is involved. I don't think the bribery laws apply. :haha:

However, I do expect the government to protect people who may be forced (how ever that may be defined) into prostitution against their will and to prosecute those who do force people into prostitution.

But to me, these are very different issues.

Well, Steve, if you'd prefer Jayne Cobb it's alright. I won't judge.:D
Whatever it takes to provide serenity, right?
Can we call you a Browncoat now?:03:

No, I don't think that anything I said proves that, and I'm not going to keep repeating myself. I think we're misunderstanding one another on many points and yes, I was being sarcastic, though not with malicious intent. Pointing a finger at me proves nothing. At least your predisposition toward me is more clear now.

Please explain it to me then. I was arguing with what you said, nothing more.

Yeah I suppose it would... with one caveat. The dog will require a lot of peanut butter.

Sure she could but she'd have to give you your money back.

I think we'd all be better off with Rosie Palm and her five sisters.:rock:

If we were not supposed to masturbate, why are our arms just the right length? :D

Yep, but often she needs help from her opposite twin sister :D

It wasn't for bragging rights, it was a search party. :up:

If you brag of a two hander, you're really saying tweezers and a magnifier.:hmmm:

Remember....
Objects in magnifying glass are smaller than they appear.

It could also mean that you have very very small hands.

I'm cutting to the chase already... opening an 'In and Out Burger' joint next door to revive all your flagging libidos. Where's the thread moderator any how??? THIS IS "OUT OF HAND!" :arrgh!:

No, off hand I'd say it's well in hand.:smug:

I think I'm going Japanese.

They don't call you "cool hand wolfertz" fer nuthin' in the frigid wasteland of frostbite falls do they!:arrgh!:

The level of prostitution supporters on this forum is...

I just don't think it should be illegal. :D

Herr Grossadmiral Doenitz disagrees; he needs happi ubootwaffen and must have studied the American Civil War. Besides the Hunley, they had...HOOKERS ...Ach du liebe!:Kaleun_Party:
