ALL LEGAL RESTRICTIONS ON PROSTITUTION SHOULD BE IMMEDIATELY ABOLISHED

Oh yeah that's right. I forget already (seniors moment). Thanks

If the claim is abolition now, the burden is to show that (1) coercion and third-party exploitation can be deterred without criminal law, (2) information asymmetries and externalities (public nuisance, neighborhood effects) are better handled by civil/regulatory tools, and (3) outcomes (violence, STI rates, trafficking) improve relative to partial bans or targeted criminalization.

Two frames to test:

Millian liberty + harm principle: consensual adult exchange shouldn’t be criminalized; harms (coercion, trafficking, nuisance) are distinct wrongs already addressable by existing laws.

Vulnerability/commodification critique: even “consent” can be structurally constrained; decriminalization may entrench markets that systematically disadvantage the vulnerable.

A useful way forward is to compare models on falsifiable outcomes (violence against workers, access to justice, exploitation indicators) rather than slogans. Background overview of the main legal models and their trade-offs:

That web site is funny, but really low quality AI slop. I suggest not using AI to do all your artwork if it places Nevada on the east coast of the USA in the location traditionally reserved for South Carolina, and what is that text supposed to be on the next pic? It seemingly says "FEDRL VI LWM". I would never use a pisspoor site like that to rent a lawyer, nor would anyone innocent.

If you've got a non AI generated recommendation for how to go about regulating prosititution, I am sure we're all open to hearing more about that.

edited to avoid linking to the site which is obviously why this person signed up.

This thread is so old that Age is commenting here 'back in the days' when he was plain old Ken and before his ascension to divine status.

It's either Age before his great ascension into ultimate enlightenment or Age wasn't really Ken. It looks too much like a normal person's post to be from Age.

He changed after his ascension. It's definitly him though.
