The best model I've seen is the Amsterdam model, where sex-for-sale is seen as part of the continuum of "X-for-sale."  Nothing moralistic, all flavours are catered for, with police on bicycles, dodgiest (most dangerous fantasies) most selectively and carefully policed....  Yet they say there are prostitutes behind the station...who will do sex without condoms...

Sex as necessity...the end of which is a goal (yes!) of the ongoing feminist revolution.  Sex as self-control, individual choice--no nannies for adults unless asked for--and within the widest possible system of choices and benefits for ALL modes of living...

The english are repressed...no doubt about it.  Sex to be hidden, puritans....No!  T'is easy to say no, but the id will have its way, and if you refuse to accept sexuality in all its glorious confusion, then death and decay; silence, fear, and furtive guilt....not a healthy recipe...  Better to be honest.

Good diary, Sassafras.  Good summary of the situation, keeping the eyes open, but laying out the facts-on-the-ground.  Thanks!
