[/FONT][FONT="] Is it now cool to do so?
[FONT="]Or is it just something you do when in Amsterdam like take a trip on the canals or visit Anne Frank’s house? [/FONT]
Who cares? If it involves two (or more?) consenting adults, no harm (although I guess that this could be indirect rather than just direct?) to any non consenting third party (parties?) and no breach of the law then that's their business. Of course, most of the time, one or more of these conditions is not actually met unfortunately but that's the responsibility of the individuals involved.[FONT="]I’m no prude but I’ve always thought that paying for sex is really scraping the bottom of the barrel.[/FONT]
not having visited same nor intending to do so, I think they should legalise it. Take out the "pimp" element, human trafficking etc.
A regulated building in a commercial area (quiet at night), no signage, health checks, security etc. etc.

make it legal and a lot of the problems associated with the oldest profession goes away
If making it legal was enough to get rid of the problems, then places like Amsterdam would not have problems. My understanding is that they do. I understand that many women in prostitution are at best only slightly willing participants, often having been trafficked\sold into the job. If you take it as a given that we will always have prostitution, it still does not necessarily follow that it is better regulated than criminalised. I can't decide myself which side of the debate I favour. It's a thorny issue
Its one of those situation where the typical Irish solution to an Irish problem (i.e. just largely ignoring it) is not working.?
What do the womens advocacy groups have to say about it?
For what it's worth, according to the Gardai most of the prostitutes that they used to caution or arrest in the Benburb Street and surrounding areas (not as much of an issue as it was in past years) had no pimps as far as they could see - most were junkies on the game to fund their habits. Many of the same prostitutes frequented other areas in Dublin such as along certain canal banks.not having visited same nor intending to do so, I think they should legalise it. Take out the "pimp" element, human trafficking etc.
your going to end up paying for it one way or another

I can't recall how many times Mrs Auto got a few extra quid out of me following a good roll in the hay.
