Should Prostitution be Legal?

[United Muscovite Nations]

We're not talking about a person, we're talking about a business.

Which is also not necessarily a public accommodation.

If they rent out more than 5 rooms, they're a hotel (which is a public accommodation), if they use interstate commerce, they're a public accommodation, and if they operate out of a hotel or other such establishment, they are a public accommodation.

And even if they aren't, they provide entertainment for the public, and thus are a public accommodation.

Well that’s a load of bullshit.

It’s not even that expensive, especially since I know the juicy mechanics behind their prices.

It doesn't "count" because sex is about the emotional intimacy, not just the mechanics.

During the sexual encounter, there must be a remembrance of Stalin.

No, but sexual encounters should only be between married couples, though I'm against legislating that.

The spirit of my great-grandfather is telling me that it is a shit idea.

Uh huh. If. And even if the business had to accept a customer, the prostitute could still refuse.

And even if they aren't, they provide entertainment for the public, and thus are a public accommodation.

Wrong again. Stop embarrassing yourself and just read the law.

Uh huh. And yet there's nothing in the law that would force a prostitute to service any customer with money.

And even if they aren't, they provide entertainment for the public, and thus are a public accommodation.

There is something that would prevent them, if they are a public accommodation, from discriminating against protected classes.

Would you seriously argue that a whorehouse isn't a place of exhibition or entertainment?

I edited my post to make my point clearer.

It can be. It not necessarily is.

I think you'd be pretty hard pressed to convince anyone that prostitution isn't a form of entertainment.

And yes, I'm not saying the prostitute would have to have sex with someone, just that anti-discrimination law could penalize them monetarily for that refusal.

[Deutschess Kaiserreich]

if need be they need to have a permit. A permit that addresses their birth date, gender (could be traps), Health, and consent. The cost of hiring should also be regulated and pimps should be banned. The ladies (or men) should report to the government.

It's not a big deal in my view, if a prostitute rejects a client because chances are, another one is willing to take them. If not, they could simply pay more. Nearly everyone has their price provided the customer behaves themselves and isn't completely unbearable. Turning a client away means getting less money, so its completely fair.

I mean, if you want to make a thread about that, be my guest. Like I said, I'm against legislating against personal interactions that take place in private.

[beleaguered sigh]

The whole subgenre of feminine males in general is a bloody confusing mess.

That is a very tenuous proposition and not at all equivalent to your previous statement that a whorehouse is a place of entertainment.

And yes, I'm not saying the prostitute would have to have sex with someone, just that anti-discrimination law could penalize them monetarily for that refusal.

Once again, the anti-discrimination law would not necessarily apply to prostitutes.

I mean a whorehouse is indisputably a place of entertainment, prostitution is the entertainment.

If it's a place of entertainment, which it certainly seems to, it would apply to them.

God you people really ruined that channel for me with your incessant cult.

Yes. I'm sure a company like Tinder would love to get a cut of what it's already promoting.

Tinder isn’t for prostitution though...?

If you play your cards right, it’s completely free, if you exclude the date dinner.

If prostitution were legal, Tinder could start charging for its services and guarantee an "encounter" because girls on Tinder would have the option to become "employees" of Tinder.

Or imagine something like UberEats, but with prostitutes. A high margin and scalable business model. I like.

Congratulations. This post is almost as unoriginal and uninspired as your previous one.

Unnecessary spite, just sayin’.

That's very disputable, and it comes down to how one views sex. If you think of sex as a diversion or amusement, then it might also be entertainment. If you think of sex as something more personal, private, and serious, it isn't.

If it's a place of entertainment, which it certainly seems to, it would apply to them.

It might, but even then it would apply to the brothel itself. So even if the brothel couldn't discriminate, the prostitutes are another matter. And of course this wouldn't apply to a lone prostitute working legally.

Your unwarranted saltiness is duly noted.

[Creslonia]

Prostitution should be legal. This would reduce violence (from gangs that have underground prostitution rings) and increase personal freedom. As for the risk of STIs, well, you know the risks.
