I 100% agree that right now not all of them do, in fact that is at least partially (and i think primarily) because sex work is considered illegal so pimps/criminals etc force women into the sex trade, get them addicted to drugs etc.
If it was legal, monitored, taxed etc, I think it would be better for everyone, especially the people in the actual sex trade. I do believe that would lead to more people doing such jobs because they want to, and less because they have to, or are forced into doing it.
I'm pretty open about sex etc, but I don't believe in forcing anyone, even through financial means, but I do think if a person WANTS to have sex for money, they should be able to do so. I think it would also be good for society, possible cause less freaking insane young idiots to go around shooting people etc.
Anyway I certainly wasn't attacking your comments, I get where your coming from, and pretty much agree with it. I do think sex work should be legal for everyone, not just the rich/wealthy, and most importantly I think sex workers should be protected, given methods to get out of the trade if they want, ways to report pimps etc (just like any other abuser) and help getting off drugs etc they were addicted to (all paid for with all the new taxes we get from prostitutes).
Funnily enough if they had a pimp etc, even paying taxes they would probably make significantly more than before lol....and they would have the same protections as every other citizen.
I won't make predictions about what would happen if it were legalized. I'm sure it would have a positive effect, but like a lot of things in life people do find ways to game the system and cause the same if not worse problems than before. I'm in favor of it because as it stands it's pretty obvious that what we're doing now doesn't work.
