      i hear you there, it needs to be legalized, it's doing NO GOOD by being illegal, it just makes it all worse, just like back during Prohibition back in the day when they made alcohol illegal, did that stop it? NO, it only made it THAT much more wanted and allowed all kinds of dangerous bootlegging to go on, which only cost lives.

      Matthew Scooby that's why it needs to be only legalized in certified brothels that do regular health checks to prevent STD spreading, it needs to be legalized in a smart way, not just letting them whore out whenever/where they are at.

    I'm Swedish and I remember when that law was approved back in the 90's to make it legal to sell but illegal to buy sexual favours. It was highly critized in the beginning and it was a huge controversy which still make headlines every now and then.
    But it seems to work better than before.

      It is a profession if they are also hunting and gathering food for other people as well, which most of them are. They may not have currency in the modern sense but I would classify it as a profession because they have a specific task that they are supposed to do and get paid in other resources.

    • @pepps779
      @pepps779 8 років тому +34

      It used to be fairly common place in the US. Then a 'moral' reformation sort of took place in the early 1900s, that banned brothels and most things related to prostitution. For a better perspective on the period, this all occurred about 5 years before they passed the prohibition of alcohol under the same morality rationale.

    • @cameii77
      @cameii77 8 років тому +22

      The general argument people use against it, other than religiously motivated arguments, is that legalisation would encourage women to take part in these dangerous activities. I doubt women would be more inclined to become prostitutes if it's legalised, but rather sex workers would simply become more transparent.

    • @Ikajo

    • @AbiDanz
      @AbiDanz 8 років тому +10

      Incorrect. The Sweedish/Nordic model is based off of a singular perspective that purports to speak for all women, defining their lives and realities for them. While not technically "illegal", when your clients obtained through more 'above board' methods are arrested, it serves an enticement to in fact engage in riskier behavior in order to make money. So by that logic, it's okay to deny transparency and legal protections because feminist ideology says 'the big bad evil menz' have brainwashed 'the weak minded womenz' , thus creating a feedback loop. "We say it's true, so even those people who do it and say they want to have been fooled into thinking that it's okay, so we have to keep them from being able to to it, thus reinforcing that we are right. Begging the question, appeal to authority, argument from authority, argumentum ad populum, appeal to emotion, reducto ad absurdum, Ipse Dixit, argument by assertion , what next, Reductio ad Hitlerum?
      While I agree that offering services for those that want to leave is a wonderful & very positive thing, trying to assign group motivations to individuals is ultimately an exercise in futility. If someone knew that all they had to do was kill someone to avoid jail time for raping/non-payment of a prostitute, how many do you REALLY think wouldn't take the chance?
      And don't even get me started on the misrepresentation of trafficking numbers. Using studies that actually say, for example, that a child with a negative relationship with their parents is AT RISK of being trafficked, turning it into a "fact" that they supposedly have been. Purposely conflating farming/agricultural & domestic trafficking numbers with the sex trafficking ones in order to boost the later & minimize the former two.
      Misleading, outright lying, manipulation, and trying to force people into following your sociopolitical ideology movement does nothing but harm, as it hides the realities of the issue.

      I get that you don't want to seem biased or "anger the puritans", mojo, but when things are working out so well for Germany why would the system that's accused of treating it's inhabitants like children be considered the best?

    • @XxAngelWinsxX
      @XxAngelWinsxX 8 років тому

      That model holds up well in Germany, since it's an already well structured society, with opportunities for young people and a well educated population. If you were to apply such model in underdeveloped countries, where there aren't nearly as many opportunities for jobs, official institutions don't work efficiently to regulate, control and implement taxes in it, and most importantly, lots if not most people are ignorant, the result would be that the model brings more problems: lots of more girls wouldn't even bother to try to study and learn a profession (increasing the ignorance and poverty), there would still be lots of illegal practices (to try to do it out of the system to try to avoid paying taxes, old habits...) and quite possibly multiplying STDs and yet more pregnancies (did I mention ignorant people in poor countries?). A well educated society vs a mostly ignorant one makes a world of difference.

    please tell me the difference between a guy meeting a girl in a club or bar and finding her sexually attractive even though he knows he will not be marrying her and then buying her things, paying to get her car fixed etc and just simply paying her for sex? To me honestly if he is just paying her for sex it is more honest. In the former scenario she could get the impression that he lives her. This actually works both ways. If she's just in it to have her car fixed or whatever but acts friendly and has sex with him, he might get the impression that she loves him. So either make prostitution legal or better yet just tell the government to stay out of our business, OR make it illegal to have sex with anyone unless you are married to them.

    There are some flaws to the claims here. The high danger rate, for example, is not seen as inherent to prostitution itself, but to its being criminalized. Also, the Swedish model has much more serious flaws than this video indicates; social workers, for example, deny help to sex workers who do not express a desire to leave, even refusing to provide condoms for preventing HIV and other STIs. There are also serious questions about how the Swedish government sells its legal scheme, even that they have omitted or distorted statistics. New Zealand, on the other hand, decriminalized consensual sex work in 2003, and found greater overall health and safety for sex workers, including better interactions with police to deal with violence.

      I've been to Oslo a Friday night, and there are plenty of street prostitutes in the "main street" between the central train station and the parliament. They are practically chasing after drunk men and doing so legally.
      However, the worst experience I've had with prostitutes was in Copenhagen when i'd just left a 7-Eleven with my hands full aiming for my hotel. I walk around the corner and this woman asks me if I wanted a good time. I answered no, yet she started following me. Asking me why I was in such a hurry. I tried everything. I told her I'm not interested, I don't have cash, I'm asexual, but she kept following. She then grabbed my crotch and said she could tell I was horny, but this was right outside my hotel door and the receptionist was giving her quite a mean look and she walked away. She literally followed me from 7-eleven to the hotel door.
      Still don't get why she didn't give up. Is there really someone who's said no 10 times, but then she grabs their "family jewels" and they change their mind?

      Being imprisoned probably hurts women more than any pimps. They can't even earn money in prison, it takes mothers away from kids, and it makes them less employable (so it takes hookers and actually does stuff to them that makes them less likely to better their lives and become something else). It's just not the answer. Pimps would not be able to exploit girls if they could go to the police about being attacked or go to court if they were being stolen from or cheated out of their wages.

    The problem with prostitution is not prostitution itself. The problems are that the women may feel their economic situation requires them to be prostitutes, the women may be physically, chemically and or emotionally coerced into prostitution, they may be trafficked, and they would have limited access to legal security hence are more vulnerable to crimes. These are actually problems with many forms of employment though prostitution through being criminalized and culturally stigmatized, are more vulnerable to these problems. The legalization of prostitution would allow us to better survey the problem and hopefully regulate some of them away but in general we need to address the problems regardless of whether they are with prostitution, hotel workers, restaurant workers, or oilfield workers. Anyone who feels they must work for a living and have precarious employment are in fact slaves. What we need are Universal Basic Income, decriminalization perhaps legalization and greater social work outreach perhaps even universal outreach to prevent sitmatization and marginalization of means tested benefits and services.
    As to sexually transmitted diseases, how about we test everyone once a year. The truth is that there is no one test for all STD's and some such as Herpes are so common in the population that it would be uncommon not to have it to begin with, the CDC actually does not recommend Herpes testing on a STD screen simply because they expect it to be prevalent. Of course regular tests for STD's that can have serious outcomes makes sense if the tests are sufficiently non-invasive but there is no need to stigmatize prostitutes, after all it takes two to tangle. Note, weekly or daily HIV tests are a bit overzealous as it could be months after infection before it's detectable.

She also wanted me to pay her back for the money she paid the hacker. I didn't want to do it. The address she had was an old one, so I wasn't really worried. However, I just wanted the fool to leave me alone. I removed the review, and I gave her less than half of what she demanded.
    The sad thing is, I didn't have the guts back then to tell an unhappy service woman to F*CK OFF!! Not only did I have the right to post my opinion about terrible service, but she didn't have to try to force me to take down the review. All she had to do was contact the site herself, and the company would have removed the review. That dumb woman spend hundreds of dollars for something that she could have handled for free.

There's a company in Japan that is nothing but attractive, well-educated men whom women can hire just to hang out with them. They converse at cafes and really just look good together while talking. That's it, that's all they do, and they're *astronomically* expensive, making me think those guys must be smooth talkers. It's basically psychotherapy, since it's nothing but hiring someone to be your friend and converse with skill with you for a time.

      Define pay.
      Since the hunters were usually not the cooks, you could see it as getting pay when they got foor prepared for them. More of a service exchange than actual commodities.

    There is a very old saying about prostitution. "Why is it illegal to sell something that is perfectly legal to give away?" The only crime that a prostitute commits is the act of SELLING sex, because if she would just have sex with a guy there is no crime.

    "Fun" fact, prostitution is perfectly legal in germany and is considerd a fee based service by the law. Also there are special laws to ensure that prostitutes won't be exploited or forced.

    I had an ex girlfriend who would not leave me alone. She kept asking me for money, a loan. I kept saying no because i knew she would never pay me back.
    To get her to finally leave me alone I thought I would say something outrageous.
    The next time she asked me for money, I replied "ok, but i want sex for it. She screamed "im not a prostitute!" I countered: "well im not a bank or an ATM!" She hung up.
    A few days later, she called me and accepted my offer. Go figure.

    Every single bad and evil that comes from prostitution and drugs derive from them being illegal. These laws only drive away the humane nature of humans. It all boils down to someone with a holier than thou attitude writing and enforcing these deliberately writing injunctions that nobody has the right to tell anyone what they can and can't do with their own person.I get so damn mad when I think about a politician telling me what I can and can't do with my own body it makes me rant without regaurd for proper grammar.

      Whats even more fucked up is that its perfectly legal in more western countries to hack of the foreskins of a male infant simply because the infant is male. Females are protected.
      Its almost as if society doesn't give a shit about men......

      As far as circumcission goes, blame that one on the church and soccer moms in america. They made a majority of people believe that a circumcised male is unable to jerk off. Thats what started the trend over there.
      Not really much of that going round europe though for some reason or another.

      Fundamentalism and ignorance destroy everything. There is a reason why less educated people tend to be more radical. Dont blame the symptoms when the dissease is still as rampant as ever.
      As said it only happened in teh good old US of A. Not Europe, and religion is just as big a part here as it is over there.
