On another note, how can people say this type of behavior is linked to gaming, then gaming is ILLEGAL right now and prostitution may be happening already. People always try to tie one thing to another when there is no correlation.

The only reason this government can’t cash in on it is because it is illegal. In places where it is decriminalized participants in the industry are expected to file taxes, pay into pensions, and everything else. Of course they get all the social services that any other tax contributing member of there society have as well; health care, pension, health and safety regulations, and so on.

I have seen some really nasty looking crack hoes out on the street and guys are STILL picking them up! I mean, they look really diseased and nasty-the type of women a decent guy wouldn’t even touch with another guy’s d**k and they get plenty of customers! I’m like, what is wrong with these guys?!

There’s all kinds of antibiotic-resistant venereal diseases out there-not to mention AIDS-and these guys still pick these meth-addict looking prostitutes up. One of these days a disease will crop up where a guy’s parts fall off as soon as he’s exposed to an infected ho and I swear guys will STILL take their chances! It must be really hard to be a man and be controlled by your hormones like that…that testosterone’s a mighty potent thing; it over-rides all common sense, it seems…

This society currently considers it morally reprehensible (well, outwardly it considers its it so) and there are no lobby or special interest groups for practitioners, clients, and/or support persons to rally to in order for a voice countering this perception to be heard.

Prostitution is legal in many places with quite a few keeping pimping and/or brothels as illegal. [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prostitution_law ] It appears that it is legal in the UK.

I think it would be a massive nigh near impossible cliff face ascent to decriminalize prostitution on this island. For starters, with the size of the island and the social stigma attached to the industry who would form and head such a special interest group and publicly speak in favor of prostitution? Would existing practitioners, clients, and support persons acknowledge and work with the group?

It would be interesting to hear the pros and cons debated in the House, though. I can see it now, The Sensual Therapy Division of the Bermuda Industrial Union. LOL!!
