Legal sex tourism: how do you view it?

[Eleanor Ritas]

To preface, let me say that one of the foul stains upon sex tourism is child sex tourism, and I am explicitly condemning that. Where I use the phrase "Sex Tourism" in the title and OP, it refers to travel to places where adult prostitutes are available with less or no interference from law enforcement. I'm talking about places where there's a police officer at the door to the brothel, and Federales walk calmly between the pimps, cradling an FN-FAL full of 7.62 NATO, and watching the girls work.

That said, there are places where prostitution is more or less either legal or decriminalized. In some rural counties of Nevada, there are licensed brothels, and some few gentlemen do travel from out of state to go to one. Of course, there's Amsterdam (which I'm told is pulling back on legal prostitution). There's the Phillipines and Thailand.

And some people, generally men, travel to these places to get laid. What do you think of that?

Personally, I think if everyone involved consents to it (a hard thing to guarantee in a severely economically depressed country), I don't have a problem with it.

What about you?

[Greater Weselton]

It is immoral.

[MERIZoC]

Agreed. If the people involved in it are fine with it, then I'm fine with it. Legalizing prostitution helps keep prostitutes safe, as well as dignifying their job. The fact that money is involved doesn't matter.

Typical social democrat response.

Switzerland is a fine example of this

Okay, explain some of the reasons why.

[Scomagia]

Typical social democrat response.

If you aren't threadjacking, you're attacking people. Don't you have anything better to do with your winter break?

On-topic, so long as it's consensual, I'm all for it.

[Greater Weselton]

It is immoral.

Okay, explain some of the reasons why.

It goes against human sexual dignity.

I just hate social democrat arguments. Merizoc is a rival anyway.

I just looked up the laws on that. Now I want to go to Zurich.

….I'm not a social democrat. Quite clearly.

What?

[Eleanor Ritas]

It goes against human sexual dignity.

Before I respond to that, do you believe any sex outside of marriage is immoral?

[-The Trade Federation-]

Well, you all know my answer.

I'm the Prostitution thread creator.

[MERIZoC]

Okay, explain some of the reasons why.

It goes against human sexual dignity.

And what is human "sexual dignity"?

[Greater Weselton]

Typical social democrat response.

What?

You were a rival in the NSG Senate and you got my old nation deleted.

It goes against human sexual dignity.

I do.

[Transyl]

I don't mind it, unless they are around me and live near me. But as long as those people leave me alone, I don't care what happens.

[Greater Weselton]

It goes against human sexual dignity.

And what is human "sexual dignity"?

The dignity given to them by God.

[DnalweN acilbupeR]

I completely agree with prostitution and sex tourism (and the legalization thereof) and find no problem with it as long as it's all consensual, but the problem is, as it has already been pointed out, it's not that simple.

A rival? What are you on about? Based on their response, they certainly don't view you as such.

And it's not a social-democrat argument.

[MERIZoC]

….I'm not a social democrat. Quite clearly.


What?

You were a rival in the NSG Senate and you got my old nation deleted.

Dude, I posted in the old NSG Senate, like, once. Ah, whatever. Time to get back on topic.

[MERIZoC]

And what is human "sexual dignity"?

The dignity given to them by God.

I seem to remember some shit about rape in the Bible.

[Benuty]

As none of my business provided it is consenting, paid as promised, and monitored by the proper institutions.

It is something that dated back to the KSDLP. Social democrats tend to support this kind of stuff.

Surely their dignity should be how they view it. So if its consenting then its OK.

[Benuty]

Well figures it would be in the Christian Scriptures.

*Insert Joke about the the Bible having nothing to do with the Jewish Scriptures*.

[Communist Volkstrad]

It's fine with me.
If prostitution is legal, it can be kept safe and regulated.
