Re: A bit wary about getting into cars: protecting (4.00 / 5)
I never understood why France has closed its brothels :

it was safe, clean, secured.

I remember how it was painful to see, every morning, a so pretty and young (no more 18-19) East-european girl who looked like my sister, "working" at the roundabout in mini-skirt by 0*C most probably placed here by the mafia.

here in Australia, brothels are a bit illegal, at least in Queensland, but you can rent the room. Therefore a friend of mine (we were in the same MBA), run a brothel open 24/7, it is very clean, modern,"fun", the girls get 50% of the money, he doesnt know their real name but just check their ID when they look young.

i think it is a good solution.

btw i never understood as well, how someone can pay for sex, it s probably much better free ;-).

The law of unintended consequences? (4.00 / 3)
Brothels are legal in Victoria, Australia.

This study argues that the Victorian experiment, brought in with a view to 'harm minimisation', has in fact shown that legalisation creates a massive expansion of the sex industry.  Alongside the expanding numbers of legal brothels, the number of legal brothels, trafficked women, and the amount of street prostitution and child prostitution have both gone up.

That should read the number of illegal brothels has also risen...

Yes. I have read that in West Europe too, 'demand' for fresh and submissive flesh in 'legal' establishments is fed through the illegal channels, the same human-trafficking-raping-coercing 'industry'. What's more, there is a fake papers industry growing on this.
