Should prostitution be allowed?

I read a page on the internet about some Chinese sex workers. They came from really poor, low opportunity villages in rural china, and migrated to the urban area in order to get some economic resources (money), so that their lives could improve.

What they did was become sex workers for a few months, where they earn what was to them a substantial amount of money, and then they moved back to their villages where they could have their own business and help their family (legitimately).

There was an argument I read that the women wanted economic resources while they had sex resources, and the men had economic resources while they wanted sex resources, thus a market appeared.

But I don’t like it, it makes me sad. I argue that the trade is grossly unfair, as I don’t believe sex has an equivalent monetary price, I believe it is far more complicated than that to balance it on the scales of a trade. I feel thus that prostitutes are being exploited, and that many of them are forced into doing it, or are poorly informed and naive about what it is they are trading (it may cost them more than they think in the long run). What do you all think? I think governments should strive to provide alternative sources of economic funds for these women, so they don't have to take part in this market....
 
Yes it is not ethical, but this is said to be the oldest profession. And it will stay forever, know the famous quote, "Nothing Sells Like Sex". Govt. can legitimise it but cannot ban or completely do away with it. As long as there are Skyscrappers on one end & Slums on the other end of the road in a city (say Mumbai), this trade will stay.
Corporates more than Govt. intervention need to bridge the gap between radical poverty.
 
When you try ban prositution,you are trying to add fuel to the fire.Take the case of liquor market.Govt itself is selling the liquor thereby arresting the illicit arrack(though is flourishes minimally).So when you try to arrest prostitution,there will always be a black market for it.So it will flourish.Best thing Govt can do is to make it legal and restricted to particular part in every city.Campaign about the usuage of condoms to stop the spread of HIV.This is the best the Govt can do to control prostitution.Most ppl are forced to pros due to monetary conditions.Govt to try to address that by creating oppurtunites for them to make a living.This will inturn reduce the women w/o monetary resources which will inturn reduce the no.of pros in the market.

i dont think so ki prostitution is bad , forcing any women for doing it is illlegal and bad but if women wants to do it they it shud be permitted , after all its a business earning much much more than any other business.
 
Prostitution presents a moral, economic and social problem that cannot be resolved juridically.

As you said friendsatbombay that prostitution is not bad i would like to ask you one thing...plz dont mind but its true.....if any friend of yours or family member of your is involved in this business to earn money than how will you face the world, how will you face your friends and even your family members.....if its not bad y dont good families start this business and stop suisiding....why...bcoz there is something called respect (IZAT in URDU)and every one has respect....there are many other ways to earn money not just one Prostitution.....if a woman wants to do it she can do that with her husban and if unmarried should get married and enjoy her life... hope u got my point...

I dont think so making it legal would do any upliftment ... it will just increase the percentage of people in the trade as more will be forced into it without any fear... moreover treating a human as an object of pleasure is grossly unethical for the society..
 
No woman wants to become a prostitute by will..... dey r forced by their minds for d sake of living... itzz very sad rather disappointing to know abt chinese sex workers..
 
Actually speaking all the efforts to ban prostitution have lead to nothing but failure. The problem of prostitutuion is actually quite inherent and evident from the pre historic periods when we had devdasis.
I am in support of legalising prostitution and strict punishment for blasphemy. Legalising and having a track on number of sex workers in a locality will help government to reduce the number of girls indulging in this profession by employing techniques of social segregation of them. Moreover it will help out to better track the sexual disorders.:SugarwareZ-199:
 
Imranbhai, u r mixing things up, wht friendsatbomaby said is in minimum words. Show any other ways to the Govt, u r sayin ther r other ways of earning money not only prostitution.. Prostitution is not done willingly by these women, they r forced into it by the very (izatdar) society that u r talking about. They turn up as clients at night.

Besides can u say all thos who visit such places r not izatdar, then u hav not viewed the other side of the world.

You say if its OK, then why good families dont get into it. Then you have also not heard NEWS about High Profile Sex Rackets, where BIG people get involved. Again come to FILM Industry wher the GOOD FAMILY (DIRECTORS - PRODUCERS) R LOOTING AND EXPLOITING NEWCOMERS Actresses.

U can imagine if they expose so much ONSCREEN , wht must b goin on behind the scene - offscreen. Every one wud b screwing. Do u think all these new actresses also want to do it willingly, NO they have to as it becomes a ritual. That has becom a norm in the industry.

Its bcoz we dont accept our faults and the society has double standards. U can ask the same question to the Directors will they do the same to their Daughters?

It is vicious. It happens in Roadside Lodges and even in 5 stars Or 7 stars. Only thing is name of the proffession changes. U call them CALL GIRLS OR ESCORTS..
 
legalising prostitution helps safegaurd the workers in this profession.. being 'illegal' everyone from the 'handler' to the 'police officer' take advantage of the sex workers. Its actually been proved that legalising it helps prevent ppl forcing women into the profession. Sex workers abused by their clients/ officers/ handlers have no recourse, no protection hence their pitable state
