We are talking about a country where it is legal to be a prostitute but illegal to have sex with one for money.

It is good that johns are penalized.

Just reading in Wikipedia what it says about "Ideology and political positions" i could even consider "Sweden Democrats" as let's say "an option", were it not for its Foreign/Environment policies. On the other hand "Alternative for Sweden" looks me pretty fascist...

Wikipedia is not a good source. Especially not on politics.

It is good that johns are penalized.

But they are already PAYING!

[skinster]

Paying to be scumbags, Drlee. Which is why they should be penalized.

[Drlee]

So let me get this straight. You believe that women should be allowed to offer it for sale but men should be prosecuted for buying it?

[skinster]

Yes.

I would add I don't think women should sell their bodies, but if that's the only option they have to eat or feed their kids, who am I to judge? Men on the other hand, pimps and johns, they can suffer every day of the week. Thanks for asking.

[SolarCross]

Yes.

So would you say it should be legal to sell heroine but illegal to buy it?

Yes.

Women are as guilty of prostitution as men; unless they are forced into it. The free will prostitution that you speak of, I would say women are even more guilty in that case then the men.

[skinster]

Yeah I'll ignore all the stuff I've read and learned about prostitution, including from prostituted women themselves, and listen to a guy on the internet whose only experience with women is with his mum. Thanks for teaching me things, Albert.

@skinster

How can prostitutes provide for themselves if there is no one to buy their services?

[skinster]

I don't know, maybe give them money or food without forcing them to have sex with you, if you actually care about them.

[Albert]

Why do they not just work? Like the rest of us.

[skinster]

You don't work.

[skinster]

[Albert]

You don't work.

Why do you think it is true? Because you read it over the internets.

[skinster]

And because you've never argued otherwise. What's your job?

[Victoribus Spolia]

Well its not a condom tester, thats for sure.

[Drlee]

He is an apprentice pimp.

[Verv]

Yes.

But what if it is to buy illicit narcotics, as it often is?

What if it is women from poor E. European countries being pimped out by violent men to support their drug habits, and they are also forced into drug addiction, partly because it is the only relief that they have in this scenario but 90% becuase their pimps do it so that they can basically easily control these pliable addicts whose complaints and self-respect vanish..?

I understand your poor mom feeding her kids through this scenario, but aren't you also one of these supporters of a robust welfare state and the likes?

Is this really a common theme for Britain that, in spite of welfare, working, single moms end up becoming prostitutes? We might have some really big problems here.
