I can't get over how some of you equate a prostitute to a waitress or a secretary.

I can't get over how some people think a business transaction between consenting adults is a moral issue. :tongue2:

I don't claim to know much about the legalities of legalizing prostitution. But can see where it would create more government....BUT I can also see where it would create a much safer over all type of business, because as has been pointed out, it is not going away. Whether it is legal or moral or not it is here to stay.

Oviously there is a way to make it legal, if Nevada has managed it for all these years.

The way I see it, is it is a service. If it were legal, I could choose to use the legal, licensed prostitute working in a local brothel....or I could save some $$$ and find one on the street.

Compare it to say, painting my house. I could look in the yellow pages, and find a licensed, bonded painter.....and have recourse should something go wrong, or I could save a few bucks, and hire the neighbors cousins boyfriend....and if he falls from the ladder, it is MY expense. The choice would ultimately be mine. A clean, legal transaction, or one more under the table, that I take the chances with.

I have no experience with hookers, but figure not many of them will be falling from ladders! But, there are issues I am sure, and with things the way they are now....the hooker or the pimp will be who takes care of things---by taking care of you!

Say you pay XXX amount of money for certain services, and feel those services were not met as agreed upon. Possibly with legalization you would have recourse by at least being able to complain without having the crap beat out of you!

There are always going to be those going about it illegally, and in relation to the gangs---but if given a legal option, many of the prositutes, as well as those using their services may well opt to pay the taxes etc. for it to be legal, and not to land on the next show of 20/20 or Cops or something!

I have a degree in marketing, I can help you. :wub: I can be a pimp too.... lol....

Boy, when I think of all the sex I gave away free..... What I shoulda had was a business manager. I could have retired at the age of 40 instead of 57. Too bad that I was born a natural blonde!

Tell me about it. I bet it would have been safer to save the money underneath the mattress anyway these days.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
