    Either way, this is discussion is bringing nothing new, and it's dull and tiresome repeating the same stuff 5 times in the same thread.

    So then please comment on what I have put to you, I have given my reasons as to why I think it should be legal, can you put down the reasons why you :

    A) Think its disgusting
    B) What misfortunes you are talking about
    C) Why should no woman go into it as a business?

    Yes I may be repeating myself and am giving reasons as to why I think it should be legal, however you are failing to respond to questions put to you, I at least try to back my argument up.

    If, at sixteen you can produce a family of your own and give birth to a child, why can you not vote on childcare, welfare and health care issues until you are Eighteen?

    I don't know why but that's not the issue here.

    To be honest you could do that even below the age of 16, so thats probably why your not allowed to vote :)

    I see making a man pay for sex as more moral than going out and having a shag with somebody in a night club that you don't know. At least you get something out of it and in all honesty, I'd rather be a prostitute than a housewife who lives oppressively as many of us do under the constricting ideology of our society.

    Legal brothels would be:
    1. Safer, cleaner and with less chance of catching an STD than street sex or a quicky with the barman in a local club in the bogs.
    2. A remover of the social stigma that a woman should not flaunt her sexuality. What the hell is wrong with that? It's entirely conditioning, socialisation based on Christian values whether directly or indirectly. Our ancestors used to dance naked around fires and weren't afraid of their sexuality, so why should we be? Evolution is all about learning not to fear things.

    Somebody mentioned that on TV a prostitute was raped (I forget who). Well I know a girl who was a barmaid and raped. Rape can happen with any profession, it's not confined to just one.

    Monocrat, the reason why I said 21 as the youngest age to work is because that's when a woman's body is fully developed and it's slightly more mature than a 16 year old. Also, starting at 21 would encourage less runaways joining the profession out of desperation.

    The way I see it, it's your body so do what you want with it.

    There's really nothing I can do for you, if you have read my posts and still don't see where I have answered those questions. Cause I have.

    Im not going through what you have and have not said apart from its ok having an opinion and putting it here, it would have been better if you would actually debate the topic instead of trying to make me look silly.

    I am not, simply stating that I can't see the point of me repeating what I have said. You'll get the exact same answers.

    This was on kilroy this morning and I found it quite interesting. There was one fella who had lots women as he said he was lonely. He also had a medical problem which meant he could not have full sexual intercourse, the most he did was kiss and dance naked. So not always is a prostitute for full sex all the time.

    Also if a couple were in a relationship and say the female went off sex then her partner could go to a prostitue and this lady said she would not mind that because they would not be emotionally attached. So the fella would be getting his enjoyment with the prostitute, his wife would be happy in the knowledge that her partner did not have an affair and he would be coming back home and the prostitute was happy because she was earning a living.

    so something else to think about :)

    I'm in favour of legal brothels, a woman has the decision to do what she wants, whether it be sex or abortion or whatever, i don't support abortion though.

    If it were made legal the government could control it, test the women who are employed regulary and test the men coming in, women get paid a reasonable amount of money each week.

    It would work, it's a public want, it would be a service to the community.
