Is a guy who sells his sperm to a sperm bank for money any different than a
woman who takes money for her "bodily services"?

re #270
Would you rather spooge into a test tube or go down on Karl Rove, richard?

I my opinion, yes. Richard, look, I know you are all for personal freedom
and what have you, but sometimes I don't think you really look at the
repercussions or practicalities of that.
You might want to ask a young black prostitute (preferably when her pimp isn't
lurking about) if she feels she has any control over her body.

Why does she have to be black?

Because whenever I think of a pimp I think of Snoop Dogg in "Starsky and
Hutch".

I asked about the prostitute being black. Not why you think of a black pimp.
Why does the prostitute have to be black for richard to get an idea?

Point taken. I'll rephrase to say "the young prostitute" without using race.

edina I know there are repercussions and practicalities, I just believe that
each of us has the right to make our own personal decisions. If you want to
have sex for money, it is your body and should be your decision. Not mine,
or the government's, or anyone else's. Your decision.

And how would you be able to prove that a person isn't forced into that trade?

the government doesn't need nor should it be the arbiter of morality wherever
possible. I would not advise anyone to get an abortion, but neither do I
think the government should be making those decisions for people who have
their own minds and their own free wills. I would not advise anyone to become
a prostitute, but I do not think it is the place of the government to make
such a decision for a consenting adult.
repercussions and practicalities are up to individuals to consider, not up
to the government.

Should we legalize CD bootleg sales and stock market fraud while we're at it?

Re #269: we are NOT talking about persons forced into prostitution. That is
a crime. We are talking about persons that elect prostitution as a business
or hobby.
Re #278: ask them?

I don't know that prostitution can ever be called a "hobby".

That would make "losses" tax deductible!

Uh, because the guys forcing them to fuck strange men for cash might,

I don't mind prostitution if it's free and voluntary, consensual, safe
for both parties, and doesn't create a public health hazard. I don't
care how a lady decides a guy is nice enough to have sex with. It
makes no difference to me if he takes her to a nice dinner and gives
her a nice box of candy, or woos her with a card engraved with
beautiful poetry such as: "This bill is legal tender for all debts,
public and private".
I'm against prostitution solely because I don't think it works like
that for most prostitutes in the real world. I'm against slavery,
ruined lives and ruined people, stuff like that.

The problem with screening for venereal diseases is that, at least with AIDS,
there is a period (6 months?) when you can have the disease but it is not
caught by the test. Unless they have really improved the test. And even if
the women selling sex are screened, the men buying it usually are not, and
AIDS is not yet curable. Back in the 19th century when prostitution was
common lots of men got diseases and passed them to other prostitutes, and to
wives.

re #288 its not a matter of being "for" or "against" prostitution. Thinking
it should be legal does not mean you are "for" it. Just as with abortion,
it just means you think such things need not be regulated by government.

No, the intersection of things that are "legal" and things that are
"regulated by the government" is non-empty.

Yes, Richard, I am familiar with the distinction.
There are things I think should be legal, but am not interested in
using myself, such as tobacco, crossbows and absentee ballots.
There are things which should be legal and which I use myself, such as
bicycles, the Internet and baking soda.
There are things which should not be legal, and which neither I nor
anyone else should do/use/have, such as slaves, DDT and the electric
chair.
I don't care to venture examples of anything I think should not be
legal, but which I do, have, or use myself.
