If it were legal for girls to be truly independent and not be subject to brothel rules, I would be for legalizing it. But government would want to control it all, and they would find ways to add taxes. Government can't keep its money grubbing hands off anything. Plus, they would want all the information about the ladies that ladies need to keep private. How many ladies want to be on a government list of prostitutes? How many of us would want to have our ID recorded to see them?You delievered an insightful response.
Escorting has been going on for as long as the earth has been populated, and all the laws in the world have never ended it, and never will. Originally Posted by tuckahoe

Much like they have done by allowing vices like the lottery, casino gambling, and the sale of alcoholic beverages. It's a politicians job to figure out a way into someones wallet. However allowing sex workers to operate legally would bring in a lot of tax revenue as in the cases of world famous Red Light Districts in Amersterdam and Frankfurt Germany. At those Red Light Districts clientele don't have to show their ID's and can remain anonymous. Ladies are also regularly tested for STD's to ensure public safety as it should be.
