First of all what exactly do u mean by legalisation of paid sex? Will a politician be seen with a pros if it is legalised? he'l do it anyway....
ppl with strong sexual desire will go to a prostitute only if his wife/girlfren is not satisfying enough or if they are away..... imagine urself in d plce of a woman whose husband visits a prostitute...... u decide to lead a life with a man thinking he s d right one for u only to know he runs behind another woman for sexual pleasures. wont that shatter u?????
prostitutes point of view... how is goin to help? how can v be sure that ppl who are pushed into this profession will not be pushed to get it legalised? even if they wanna do it.. is it like a govt job where they have a fixed salary.... They do it to earn quick money.... so they need not be branded as a prostitute and given an id card to pursue this profession... a mutual understanding will be sufficient.
And if it is legalised n assured protection from STDs and if ur daughter wants to get into that profession, would u approve of it?
Conclusion is... im not saying prostitution is a wrong profession to pursue. my point is legalisation wont be of great help. Rich bastards will remain bastards. They have their ways!
