For those who think prostitution should be legal
We don't allow age or sex discrimination on the job. Nor can a company fire or refuse to hire a qualified worker on the basis of sex. So, one presumes this will hold true in the sex industry. Meaning if a 60 year old Grandma (or grandpa) is qualified (ie knows how to and is willing to screw) the brothel should hire her.
In England (where someone on this board claims prostitution is legal). The native prostitutes tended to be in their 40s and less than stunningly beautiful. One presumes this will always be true because the young beautiful women generally can sell their sex appeal on much better terms than as a prostitute in a brothel.
So, this means in legalized prostitution, the sex workers will be second rate. Hence, there will always be a demand for young beautiful women imported from countries that most rational people want to escape from. So, either trafficking and human slavery will continue; (This is true in England, where trafficked women forced into prostitution remains a serious problem).
Or, we start issuing visas to young, beautiful women/men willing to sell sex for low wages to escape their oppressive countries and thus depriving the native sex workers of a livelihood or depressing their wages. If it is not acceptable to flood the country with imported low wage workers in other industries, why should we allow it in the sex industry?
