Is There a Difference?

 

Morning

Some very interesting and astute responses to Tuesday's post regarding Incels. Jean's comment ended with a good question:

"Should prostitution be made legal, for males and females?"

My answer would be a resounding "yes." In fact, with the exception of two counties, it is legal in this state. 'Course, that doesn't stop it from being a very lucrative business elsewhere. Which is rather my point.

It's really no different than any other business. It's a service being offered. There are people who want to buy the service. It's that simple.

Of course, it's not good when human trafficking gets a piece of the industry. And I wonder if making prostitution legal would curtail the trafficking? Maybe only to a degree, because there would always be those whose penchant for the illegal end of things would still be "underground." And we know the people I'm talking about: <cough>The Epstein Class<cough>.

Ahem...

Plus, porn actors get paid for sex.

Is there a difference?
