to have sex is erroneous.
Many are junkies

They become so

But it should be legalised. Revenue raised by tax
would be astronomical.
There would be zero danger
of sexual assualt from johns.
Brothels would have twenty
four hour security. And money to be paid up front. All would
have regular health checks. Condoms would be a non negotiable
requirement. It would take all power away from pimps and restore the
self esteem of those who work in the profession. So no reason not to legalise
About the first bolded portion: I wonder where you got your statistics stating that many prostitutes are junkies. Not that I don't there are some out there, but there are also women who just enjoy sex and having the power over their own bodies.
About the second bolded portion: Just because sex is paid for upfront doesn't mean that there aren't some people out there that don't just like hurting women. Period. So saying that there would be zero danger is a bit fallacious.
