Robert Kraft, let me a hand: no sex trafficking charges

It needs to go higher than states. Rubbing and tugging should be protected free speech

 

This. (Of course insecure housewives would never agree or vote for this. Heaven forbid a couple gets in an arguement, and Jon has to "work late that night." Paranoia would skyrocket.

Strange how we never hear many complaints or issues coming out of Nevada with their legal sex trade. Not sure why more states can't follow suit.

(Welcome back Matt, never had a chance to say Hi.)

 

I wouldn't consider a ruined reputation in your community (or in his case, nationally) meek. The legal ramifications are nothing compared to those repurcusions.
I can only imagine someone trying to date and having their partner doing a google search out of boredom. Or getting a background check for a potential new job? That's probably enough deterent right there to keep a lot of potential jons on the straight and narrow.

And even if someone gets off from the crime (poor choice of words) the stigma sticks with them.

All over a handjob...

 

Since legalization, when was the last time you heard of a famous person going down for weed? You haven't.

Same would happen with a legal poonani option .

 

It won't get rid of the black market, but will do wonders to those consenting adults willing to exchange sex for money.

I'd like to see the data, but I would guess the same people who are anti-abortion are also anti-prostitution.

 

No it wouldn't. The Netherlands is a great example of that. While prostitution was legal, those from not EU countries (or some other designation) were trafficked into The Netherlands to work "legally" as sex workers, but they were not legal so they could not legally work as legal sex workers.

As for the US, non-residents could still be sex-trafficked, as well as minors/children.

 

The trafficking market wouldn’t become extinct, but the need for it would be dramatically decreased therefore a benefit to everyone except the pimps and pimpettes.

Pretty much impossible to argue against that fact.

 

Depends on who is trafficked. A person from the trailer park is likely to have less profit than somebody from central China. Of course, the people who are trafficked are also those more marginalized or desperate than those who are legally willing to be part of sex work.

But that is only part of the issue. Another finding out of somewhere, I forget (maybe Germany) is that the regulations need to be done correctly otherwise the pimps will still do what they are doing.

There are multiple issues regarding sex work. Legalizing it will help many, but there are still other aspects of sex work that just legalizing it won't solve.

Keep in mind, I'm all for legalizing sex work.

 

Stigma? Maybe, but I doubt a guy like Kraft will have trouble getting a date, handjob notwithstanding.

 

Smoking a J doesn't get you served with divorce papers.

And trafficked women can't and don't tip off spouses and the media about husbands' indiscretions.
