What is the personal/societal advantage of prostitution?
This is a question that has numerous variables to consider that would take pages. As you know Amsterdam has legal prostitution, where you can go into a store and buy a woman for how many hours you would like, it works for them. It keeps the aids virus at bay as everyone has to have health checks and proof, it keeps the abuse of women to a minimal because its government regulated and there is no need for street walking. Whether or not is a social advantage I dont know, in a sense it protects the women if you really think about it as for personal, most likely the advantage is for the patrons as they dont have to worry about being arrested or that they are with a heroin dirty aids prostitute. Now having said that, I still think prostitution is negative for society. I dont see an advantage at all but its as old as the human race and it will never go away so it is most likely best to be regulated. I feel bad for any women who feels that all she can do is sell her body to make a living (men
I would say that the main societal benefit to legalising prostitution is that it keeps it off the streets to a degree. There will ALWAYS be prostitution, there will ALWAYS be street prostitution, but the more that it is legal, the more protection society can give to the women and men who work in the sex trade. And the real benefit to the average joe tax payer is that if its legal, you can tax that income and that pools to provide better schools/education/health benefits for the whole nation.
For me, personally, I don’t see an advantage. You do not say LEGAL prostitution, so I will not go there. Everyone else is. Prostitution is a way some people, both male and female, can earn a very lucrative income, without having any education. They also are frequently taken advantage of, end up drug addicts, drunks, or otherwise undesirable. They do not take regular medical checks, often do not ask, nor require, protection, and so on. Were it legalized and regulated, that would change.
