Here its legal. I think that is a double standard that its legal to do porn and illegal to do prostitution. It's safer for prostitute's here because the police look after them, they get workers rights and most do brothels where they are less likely to be hurt, robbed or killed.

Prostitution is legal in most states and territories here as well... "legal and regulated" they call it.

Prostitution needs to be legalized for numerous reasons. The workers would be safer in brothels and they would have a similar two week requirement for testing that porn stars go through. The only place in the US that I know of where it is legal is a county in Nevada and that county doesn't include Las Vegas. The violence towards sex workers would decline and they would nlbe healthier from STD point of view.

Prostitution being illegal in the U.S. is Draconian at best. I can't think of any reason why we couldn't handle legalizing what people are doing anyway, but under far worse circumstances that are completely unregulated.

They may as well legalise it here as well..Prostitution and Brothels are illegal but everyone knows they exist and the police don't seem fussed- I think they view the "curb crawling" aspect and trafficking as more serious, which is entirely fair. Still, I've heard of brothels being above really public places like Wetherspoons so why they just can't legalise and tax the **** out of it like everything else is beyond me.

Considering it's the worlds oldest profession, I don't see why it's not legalised everywhere.

I think it keeps a lot of industries and workers safe and regulated. In Australia, it's legal in every state. And brothels are legal in three states.

Religion, mostly. That's a pretty big reason.
