65. Of course.
Edited on Sun Sep-05-10 10:59 AM by The Green Manalishi
Treating sex work just like any other service involving a professional, be they plumber of psychotherapist would go a long way to getting pimps and slavers out of the process. Why should a sex worker be inherently more vulnerable to exploitation than a nurse, schoolteacher or seamstress? It is entirely because the activity is illegal(and concomitantly unregulated/unlicensed); as with drugs, pushing it into the shadows is what allows the Bad People to ruin what should be a normal economic transaction that should actually be enhancing the economic circumstances of the providers and the enjoyment of the recipients.
