Question Posted Wednesday October 29 2008, 11:50 pm
I'm 17/F USA and taking college classes so dont treatme like a kid. thank you.
I was watching pretywoman and ws wondering.
Why is prostitution illegal?
Also, the spread of STD's would grow enormously.
Think about it... Most men are married, or in a relationship. Knowing what you know about STD's how likely are you going to be to pick up a hooker? Knowing that she has been with possibly hundreds of thousands of men. And it's a FACT that MOST hookers carry the STD TRICH, wich is short for Trichomoniasis and can make someone who has it more susceptible to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), the virus that causes acquired immune deficiency syndrome (aids). So that's why it is illegal, pretty much just for our own good.
Hope this answers your question. :) [ kristen22's advice column | Ask kristen22 A Question ]

Firstly, it can spread STDs. Really fast. So if the government slaps an illegal sticker on it, they think they can get the STD problem under control... Yeah... I know what you're thinking... I think that too.
Secondly, because we are a religiously based country, no matter how hard they try to separate church and state, prostitution is morally wrong because it is A, sex before marriage, B, disgraceful, and C, can be adultery. So, again, the government thought that if they slapped an illegal sticker on it, they could control the whole morally wrong thing... Woo government.
