Can you get an art's grant for filming it?

Just a question for the legalise, regulate and tax guys, what regulations do you want?

As has already been suggested, obligatory health checks for both the clients and prostitutes. Proper security within the 'establishment' so that workers aren't abused or mistreated. Ensure that all clients must give proof of ID. Things like that.

Perhaps the government could also provide a rating system. If I'm going to pay for sex, I'd need to know that I was hiring a real expert with particular skills. Maybe prostitutes should have to earn a license. Some kind of 'road test' should be part of the testing procedure.

^ This.

As it stands, prostitution is illegal and thriving. Johns can treat the workers however they want (including forcing them on drugs and beating them). If we were to regulate it and have frequent check-ups, imagine how much safer the workers would be.

I'm rather disappointed.

We haven't been visited on this thread by a retar-... I mean, person, who has ticked the "No" option in the poll. Where's the crazies on this forum when you want them.

Perhaps everyone likes sex? Big Grin
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

I don't know about that Annik. Government-approved sex? Are you going to tattoo "Grade A" on the girl's ass? And you know the jesus-freaks would be screaming for MISSIONARY POSITION ONLY.

Probably ruin the whole business.

Yes, it would. Most girls wouldn't like to see preachers fucking little boys in their own heterosexual brothals.
