It'd be interesting to see how the dating world in the US would change if we made prostitution legal. I wonder if more women would be outraged...or if more would just be open about expecting money and gifts in exchange for sex. Either way, the majority of men would still be paying unfortunately.

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points5 points 8 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link

Some might say limiting supply by morals, risk of arrest, etc drives the price up.

If prostitution was allowed it's price would drop dramatically.

That's why women and their male slave ban it. Women want the price of sex to be a wedding ring.

No, not so much.

Here in Australia, the state of NSW decriminalised sex work in 1996. New Zealand did the same in 2003.

After decriminalisation... the number of sex workers stayed about the same. In NZ the number of sex workers actually went down slightly. This was one of the big questions around decriminalisation, so the governments of NSW and NZ monitored it with several studies.

Prices seem have increased gradually over time. I'm no expert, but to this casual observer it looks like they've gone up roughly in line with the cost of living and Sydney's insane real estate prices.

So none of that stuff changed much. The really dramatic changes were elsewhere:

  • The original reason for decriminalisation in NSW was to reduce police corruption. Turns out lots of police used to get started by extorting a bit of cash or some free sex out of sex workers, in return for not arresting them. It was decided that police should have no role in regulating the sex work industry at all, and that has indeed cut corruption down a lot.

  • Violence against sex workers is down a lot, since now they can report it to the police with no fear of being arrested themselves.

  • Human trafficking in the sex industry has disappeared entirely. State & federal police have reported zero trafficking victims identified in the last 2x 3-year reporting periods, and perhaps longer than that. (I don't have the earlier data). There is still a bit of trafficking in the farming and restaurant industries, but none in sex work.

  • Condom use is up, well above 99%. And the rate of STIs is right down, as a direct result. In fact, two government studies have found that sex workers have fewer STIs on average than the community as a whole.

Bottom line: it's worked very, very well here and in NZ.

I don't think any rational person could study the impact of decriminalization in NSW, Australia and NZ and not conclude it is by far the best approach for both sex workers and the community. The evidence is overwhelming, which is why organisations that take an evidence-based approach to setting policy in this area have all reached the same conclusion:

Organizations That Support Full Decriminalization of Sex Work

  • Amnesty International

  • The World Health Organization

  • UNAIDS

  • The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA)

  • The Global Network of Sex Work Projects

  • The Lancet

  • The Global Commission on HIV and Law

  • Human Rights Watch

  • The Open Society Foundation

  • Anti-Slavery International

  • Lambda Legal

  • The ACLU

  • UN Women

  • The International Labor Organization (ILO)

  • The Global Alliance Against Trafficking in Women

  • Freedom Network, USA

  • National Center for Transgender Equality

  • La Strada International

  • Urgent Action Fund for Women’s Human Rights

  • Transgender Law Center

That surprised me. However could we count the increase of strippers , cam girls, sugar babies as soft prostitution?

[–]EricAllonde 2 points3 points4 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Sugar babies - I guess, probably.

The others - not really. They aren't actually having sex for money, so I think you'd say they're in the broader "sex industry" but they aren't prostitutes.

[–]NecroHexr 0 points1 point2 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I mean, I feel like we are simplifying things too much. This may work in NZ, but might not for America.

This may be in part due to population demographics, culture, education, race as well as a whole other variety of crap. You can use stats to sort of predict how things will go, but at the end of the day the results may vary wildly.
