Prostitution should be legalized in brothels
October 20, 2017 at 5:14 pm
First off I will provide the rules for brothels as:
1. They require condoms.
2. They accept any customer.
3. They must prove they are free of STDs regularly. (monthly)
4. Each person has their own prices and list of what they are willing to do.

In 2003 Rhode Island, accidentally decriminalized prostitution. The effects of this were “caused both forcible rape offenses and gonorrhea incidence to decline for the overall population. Our synthetic control model finds 824 fewer reported rape offenses (31 percent decrease) and 1,035 fewer cases of female gonorrhea (39 percent decrease) from 2004 to 2009”
http://www.nber.org/papers/w20281

This breaks down into the first two arguments in favor of legalized prostitution.

 
1) Rape dropped by 824. The effects of which will affect the victim for the rest of their lives.

2) Gonorrhea dropped by 1,035. STDs are a critical health concern affecting this country.

3) It is hypocrisy with prostitution being illegal, while porn is legal. Whatever argument can be for or against, one can be made for the other.

4) No one sees any problem with massages. No one sees any problem getting their hair, nails, or feet done. In all these cases, you are paying another human being to touch you. How is sex any different?
 
5) Freedom is being able to choose what you do with your body. Choosing to have sex with someone for money is no different.

Agreed OP, but we're probably a ways off from that being a widely instituted position.  Arguments and stats wont sway a true believer.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

I think it was George Carlin who said:  "It shouldn't be illegal to sell something that you can give away."

It would certainly vastly increase the pleasure and excitement in my own life. Especially considering my recent income increase.

Um......... #2. They accept any customer..........of age, with money, is mentally stable, no open sores, does not have TB, no violent sexual criminal history, ...............

Not all will get in (get it in?). The house/state will make specific rules. 

Actually I have no problem with legalization but doubt I would have ever been a patron.

Edit: I personally have a problem with all of the activities in #4. Hair is the only one I tolerate, barely. If I don't know you I don't want to be touched that way.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

I might be a patron for gay male prostitutes. Naughty

It's legal here.
If they have to accept a client they don't like the look of or don't want to have sex with, that's rape.
