Answer 1

If you're doing real research I suggest going to the link below. They have a section on the laws of 50 countries and assorted info.

Answer 2

This is not a black and white topic since in some countries it is technically illegal but not enforced. In Japan sex is legal except for straight intercourse and some other acts. They have various specialized shops, such as soaplands, pink salons and other kinds. Most prostitutes are foreign born and organized crime controls most of it. In the Dominican Republic women may sell themselves but pimping is illegal. Many bars are used as fronts for prostitution where there are many women "bartenders." If someone want to have sex with a bartender he pays an "exit fee" to the bar and also has to pay the woman directly. Because of this, most bartenders have to take HIV tests to legally work in a bar. Massage parlors are also very common which offer oral sex or other sex services also with "exit fees" In Denmark, there are red light districts where women will pose nude in the windows to attract clients. Prostitution is so accepted there that they pay taxes and get retirement benefits. There are many countries where it is legal, but brothels and pimping is not: Canada, the UK, Ireland, France, Finland, Denmark, Italy, Bulgaria and many other European countries, the US state of Rhode Island (see Prostitution in Rhode Island), most Latin American countries, some Asian countries and some African countries. The fact is that the US is more conservative than most of Europe and all of South America. It would be interesting to point out that in countries where prostition is legal, the women(and men) are less likely to suffer violence and other hardships since they are not breaking the law. It is also very common compared to the US. I lived in the Dominican Republic and knew many prostitutes on a social basis since I was in a tourist area. They live much better than someone there working in a sweat shop 45 hours a week for about $100 month. In the Dom Rep there is no stigma in being a prostitute and the ideal is to be a kept woman with a single client who pays them a monthly stipend and sometimes even gives them a car and other expensive gifts. They often prefer older clients since it allows them to have a regular boyfriend as well.

Answer 3

I have never been with a prostitute,
but i think there should be leagalised Brothels, the reason being is thousands of men cannot get another woman .
and by paying a woman for sex would help stop them from molesting women.

Answer 4

I don't agree with it, but I also don't agree that it should be illegal. No matter what, it's going to exist, so don't turn people into criminals. It's like Prohibition was in the 1920's and early 1930's. People didn't stop drinking, they just did it illegally. If it's made legal, you can regulate it and prevent others from preying on the women who have no other choice, like their pimps.

Answer 5

if your doing research on prostitutes,why would you care on people's opinions?

I can care less about prosties.

Answer 6

I don't get why it's illegal. Why is illegal to sell something that is legal to give away for free.

Answer 7

I'll tell you what I think!

They're too damn expensive!
