Should prostitution be legalized?

How is this related to men's rights?

Yeah, I'm all for it being legalized. This isn't specifically a men's rights thing but it does affect both men and women. I don't even wanna use these services but legalization is one way of combating sex trafficking. Why waste resources fighting something two consenting adults are doing when we can use those resources to rescue children from the sex trade?

Anti-prostitution laws tend to violate both men’s rights and women’s rights, but especially men’s rights. The laws erroneously conflate trafficking and voluntary sex work most of the time. The government’s got no business jailing consulting adults for what they do in the bedroom. Both men and women should have bodily autonomy.

The Nordic Model is egregious and wrong, but often championed by those who are delusional and hate men (like the Duluth Model, another feminist abomination). It’s based on false assumptions that women are always victims who must be saved and men are always oppressors who must be punished. It focuses on arresting male buyers and rescuing female sellers. That’s kind of like arresting drug users but letting drug dealers off the hook.

The sanest thing to do would be decriminalizing consensual sex work between adults. Studies have shown that this has a stabilizing effect on a society and decreases the rate of rape and sexual violence. The places that have decriminalized sex work tend to be much nicer places than the ones that haven’t. The proposal is not popular among those who profit off of violence and imprisonment.

we allows numerous jobs that often result in sever harm or death overtime why ban a job that doesn't harm either involved

Yes absolutely. Prostitution is a victimless crime.

What two consenting adults do behind closed doors is none of my concern, nor should it be the government's. Do I/would I participate? No.

If I can give money to politicians to fuck me, I ought to be able to do the same with a consenting provider.

12_nick_12 · 2026-01-13T02:56:54+00:00

Yes 100% if you have it you should be able to use it. I also believe in legalized drugs (all of them) and organ selling.

VladG145 · 2026-01-13T03:01:42+00:00

Yes, not sure what it has to do with men's rights at all but I think that personal choice is important in general if prostitution were to be legalized as well tbh!!!! Can't accept lack of accountability for their personal choices tbh!!!! Just my two cents though!!!!

peptide2 · 2026-01-13T03:21:24+00:00

I think so, id like to be able to make money laying on the ladies

alecww3 · 2026-01-13T03:28:35+00:00

Yes. Sex is a skill

Some places it is- or decriminalised at the least. I welcome the option of it being legal, however, there needs to be better check in / regulation of workers to make sure they are not being forced/trafficked in the job, which is a huge issue. Ie. Heavy on the consent.

There should be no issue if someone is truly and freely seeking to undertake sex work for proper compensation, and there is a willing and unforced person seeking those services.

No There is a phenomenon called defining deviancy down:
