Some men simply do not have sexual access to women on their own merits, let alone to women they find attractive, others want to explore things sexually that they can't get from their romantic partners, and some women will always be willing to capitalise on these desires. However, by legalising it, or at least not prosecuting it, you can make it safer for everyone involved. Police can more easily investigate sex trafficking and violence involving prostitutes, both because prostitutes and clients can come to them without fearing prosecution and because they aren't wasting time enforcing a prohibition on prostitution. Rules can be in place like testing for STI's and the use of condoms, as long as these aren't too limiting, brothels and prostitutes will adhere to them rather than falling into illegality.

Nothing she said had anything to do with sex workers in professional brothels... Nothing at all. That's either the pain talking or just fake progressivism. Everyone should have the freedom to choose whatever the fuck they want to do with their bodies, and shouldn't be looked down for it in any way.
Strippers and hookers are real people, with feelings just like you and me, some of them have day jobs, others are teen mom's who need the money, I've met them personally.

They can say 'no' at any stage of the sex work, and if ask for help, the bouncers will come in to drag you out.
Sorry, they get a lot of money only if they have lots of customers.

Even in 2023 this is still true.
id: 15500 - Text: The big lady in blue is talking about illegal prostitution. But guess what... it’s illegal. Women in legal brothels are not victims. There are so many hurdles to become a legal sex worker in a legal brothel
id: 15501 - Text: The problem with this discussion is we as Americans refuse to treat women as adults. The vast majority of prostitutes are there by choice. They would rather suck a dick than work a shift. It isn't until later that the mental acrobatics start where it's everyone else's fault they made bad decisions. If prostitution were legal then all of the transactional sex would have an up front price. That would under cut women's general power and force them to bring more to the table. Women nor men want to see a society where men don't depend on women for sex.
