It's fine to give money to whoever you want. It's fine to have sex with whoever you want. Why not both at the same time?

Well, it is legal in Nevada.

However, your logic is flawed. Just because one single statement is true and another single statement is true doesn't mean the combination of the two statements is true.

For example, it's legal to shout "fire" and it's legal to go to the movies, but if you go the movies and shout "FIRE!!!" guess what? You've broken the law.

Here's another example: Just because you're a pop singer and just because you like to sleep with children in your bed doesn't mean you're Michael Jackson. ;)

It is legal to bear arms and it is legal to take planes, so it should be legal to take plane with a gun.

An interesting exercise of the brain.

Well, that's not my ONLY logic behind it, but it starts off my argument:) Notice that both of your examples are examples where one person endangers others. Prostitution lacks this important element.

I'd like to further add that prostitution is a service that many members of the population really need. For example, what if you're a burn victim who's so badly scarred that the odds of you having sex again are a 100 to 1. Don't you think people in such a situation should be able to buy a little lovin if they need it?

Prostitution - it's impotant element of Liberty. Why was destroyed Soviet Union? Because law make prohibition on prostitution. People was wanted free sex and believe, whot in Westerd countries prostitution is free. Power of sex was winning. Communism is game over. Yahoo!!!!!

Yes lets legalize it I believe we need to make a website.

from The Golden Bough:



...'Thus at Babylon every woman, whether rich or poor, had once in her life to submit to the embraces of a stranger at the temple of Mylitta, that is, of Ishtar or Astarte, and to dedicate to the goddess the wages earned by this sanctified harlotry. The sacred precinct was crowded with women waiting to observe the custom. Some of them had to wait there for years.

At Heliopolis or Baalbec in Syria, famous for the imposing grandeur of its ruined temples, the custom of the country required that every maiden should prostitute herself to a stranger at the temple of Astarte, and matrons as well as maids testified their devotion to the goddess in the same manner. The emperor Constantine abolished the custom, destroyed the temple, and built a church in its stead.

In Phoenician temples women prostituted themselves for hire in the service of religion, believing that by this conduct they propitiated the goddess and won her favour. "It was a law of the Amorites. that she who was about to marry should sit in fornication seven days by the gate."

At Byblus the people shaved their heads in the annual mourning for Adonis. Women who refused to sacrifice their hair had to give themselves up to strangers on a certain day of the festival, and the money they thus earned was devoted to the goddess.

A Greek inscription found at Tralles in Lydia proves that the practice of religious prostitution survived in that country as late as the second century of our era. It records of a certain woman, Aurelia Aemilia by name, not only that she herself served the god in the capacity of a harlot at his express command, but that her mother and other female ancestors had done the same before her; and the publicity of the record, engraved on a marble column which supported a votive offering, shows that no stain attached to such a life and such a parentage.

In Armenia the noblest families dedicated their daughters to the service of the goddess Anaitis in her temple at Acilisena, where the damsels acted as prostitutes for a long time before they were given in marriage. Nobody scrupled to take one of these girls to wife when her period of service was over.

Again the goddess Ma was served by a multitude of sacred harlots at Comana in Pontus, and crowds of men and women flocked to her sanctuary from the neighbouring cities and country to attend the biennial festivals or to pay their vows to the goddess.' ...
