I agree with at least decriminalizing prostitution. If it would be legalized and regulated like any profession, I suppose that would reduce the danger for both worker and client.

What system would you prefer? I'm thinking more of a brothel setup but it would be like a regular office with CCTVs everywhere and guards. Clients would have to be escorted to the door by the worker after things are done so workers can complain if anything wrong was done to them. For added precaution there would be an emergency button in every room so the worker can call on the guards if things go badly.

Since the workers would be regularly tested and would probably be on PrEP, they should also be asking customers for their records before allowing them to avail service.

If you make anything illegal, then the criminals and the organized cartels will benefit. If prostitution is legalized, then the trafficking of minor children will cease, and the spread of sexually transmitted diseases such as HIV and syphilis can be prevented.

This is what I keep telling people I know and they just shudder and look at me as if I'm possessed.

I am a categorical opponent of the idea of legalization of drugs. As for prostitution it is a relic of the past. I have nothing bad in it do not see. Perhaps States who are against this go on about religious leaders.

And the transmission of all sorts of different diseases? This is not only immoral, but also a huge risk of getting a fatal disease. I think you would not want your children to work as prostitutes.

This is why exactly you want to legalize it. Prostitutes tend to accumulate stds which they pass to their clients, which then pass those to other prostitutes. Upon legalization, they would be asked to take tests and those that failed would not be allowed to work so you basically start with a pool of healthy prostitutes.

On client side, they can also have the clients first present papers before availing service. Even if this is not strictly implemented, the diseased clients would be eventually weeded out. If any of the prostitutes caught something from a client, they can eventually narrow down to the possible culprit because of records and have those clients banned.
