It's hard to get chlamydia from a computer terminal.

Actually no. It took me less than one second and there were about 5,000 sources.

The king of VD has spoken, and most of those 5,000 sources, of which he has intimate knowledge, are in the downtown Cleveland area.

Nah! The experience is and should be much different.

Definitely, when it's done in exchange for money, you don't have to put up with, "When are you going to call me?" or "Is this all you ever think of?"

And if I said that your foolhardiness was delightful???"

It would go over my head. Chill out, relax a little and don't concern yourself what "some of the others" are thinking.

Spheres:
No, you misunderstood, I was not referring to the way things have been, i.e., illegal underground brothels, and only used the word brothel so as to be brief, as I tend to be long winded. What I meant was government regulated "brothels" where mandatory STD screening, was employed as well as having staff that was responsible for ensuring the peace and safety of both the pros and johns. Remember that prostitution outside one of these regulated brothels would be illegal. I see that it would catch on. I mean really, would you rather buy a product from a nice, clean brightly lit retail outlet or from a shady individual in a dark alley, from the back of his van? Most would choose the former, otherwise there would be a hell of a lot more of the latter. A john would choose the retail outlet, believing it to be safer, in all respects, and so would the smart pros. And as far as profits go, it would be no different than someone working for a company, versus owning their own company. Legitimate business's always have overhead that includes a lease, utilities, security, etc. The pros would not have to worry about such things, just show up to work and do their job, all else is handled by the regulated property/business owner. Further their license could be revoked is they flunked too many random inspections or after so many police reports/incidents. I'm sure everyone would behave to reap the rewards that such a clean, healthy, safe environment could afford. Look to the USA's Chicken Ranch in Nevada or the Brothels in Amsterdam as examples. Though I see it as being even better.


What is imperative in any decision is that the "voices" of sex workers should be at the forefront of discussion regarding the sex industry. It is often the laws made with the sex workers' "protection" as the main point of interest, have the most devastating impacts on their work and safety.

For example the Swedish model of the sex industry regulation which is promoted by none other than the anti-sex work feminists and which the sex workers themselves declare it as contributing to unsafe workplaces and practices and most important, diminished empowerment.

No, they've just got a warped mentality imported from England.

How so? According to you the USA has nothing to do with the UK. Sounds all homegrown to me.
