Legalizing Prostitution
A comedian asked why is it illegal to sell sex but its okay to gibe it away. A beautician performs a service when she cuts your hair. The service is taxed, and the beautician makes money on the service she provided. The beautician, in performing this service, is doing nothing illegal, and is well within her constitutional rights. So, why then is it illegal for a prostitute to provide a service to an adult. He or She is well within the boundaries of the constitution just like the beautician is yet this service is for some reason illegal. Prostitution should be legalized because it is no different than any other service provided to the general public, Prostitution encourages sex out of wedlock, which in many societies is considered immoral. Prostitutes would provide a service of various sexual acts including, but not limited to, sexual intercourse. This service, if legalized, would become more popular, be practiced more freely, and might increase the occurrence of adultery. "It had been said that legalized prostitution will drive cost down" (Liberator 2), if this were to happen, the chance of adultery being committed might be determined by the price.
Much work still has to be done to create a framework for such sweeping reform. Often called "the worlds oldest profession", illegal prostitution is well entrenched in many areas of the country and would put up much resistance to government interference. Although places like Nevada and Amsterdam seem to have found a way to successfully legalize and incorporate prostitution into their culture, much of the world cannot seem to get past the religious blinders that along with common decency prevent a conclusion to this important issue. "The taxation of legalized prostitution could fund rehab programs, homeless shelters, drug and health education programs and regulatory agencies" (Prostitution Law Reforms 1). In places where prostitution is practiced illegally like major urban areas or depressed economic regions, the legalization and regulation of prostitution could bring about some much-needed reform. Some of the benefits might include a reduction in the number of prostitutes that live in the streets, teenage dropouts who turn to prostitution, and the occurrence of drug use among prostitutes. man or woman has made up his or her mind to commit adultery, will the legality
