Prostitution69
For as long as human civilization has existed. the sale of sex and sexual services has been looked upon as a problem by some, and as a way of life by others. People who look at prostitution as a way of life are not just the prostitutes who offer these services. There are many countries in this world that view the sale of sex as a viable source of income and as an accepted social activity. Countries such as Holland view prostitution as a socially accepted way of life and regulate them as such. Even in America where prostitution is criminalized in most states and the negative social stigma that surrounds prostitution plagues politicians to clean up our neighborhoods, you can still find pockets where prostitution is legal and regulated such as Las Vegas. My final project is going to deal with the benefits and problems of legalizing prostitution on many levels such as disease control, taxation, and moral issues.

Having read many views on the issue of sex work, we must first decide what constitutes sex work and to what extent should government be allowed to regulate said work.

I completely understand that there are other forms of sex work such as pornography but for this paper I do not wish to tackle those subjects. The first question I will talk about is why is sex work is looked upon so negatively, prompting politicians in many countries to outlaw it. Many different groups oppose sex work and each one has a different opinion as to why it is wrong and should be made illegal. These groups range from those opposed to prostitution on moral grounds to legal reasons and many in between. Some groups that oppose sex on moral grounds say that sex should be made sacred and saved for marriage or that it at least should be shared between two people that love each other. This mentality produces a level of hatred for people that go out and sell sex just as a plumber would go out and offer his services. They feel that since sex is something used to create a family, selling it brings about the desecration of family life. As prostitution would be regulated by the government, many laws could be instated that would protect the prostitutes as well as the "Johns".
