Prostitution Is A Victimless Crime

Sure, some women in prostitution, particularly those who are kidnapped and held against their will, are victims, but I believe that for the most part, prostitution is a victimless crime. Just like what other people are saying, some women, who are in the business, chose to offer their service willingly and no one forced them to.


Let’s all remember that every woman is different. While there are women who see sex as a sacred thing that should only be given to the person they love and they will marry, there are also women who view sex as an ordinary activity that you can do with anyone. In fact, there are women who would rather have sex for an hour with someone they have just met, than work in a restaurant taking orders and cleaning toilets for 10 hours. But there are also women who would rather be in poverty than give their body to someone unworthy. Not all women are the same.


Just like gambling and drug use, prostitution is an activity that is participated in by adults voluntarily. As what Sherry F. Colb of Rutgers Law School said, “What makes prostitution a ‘victimless crime’ in the sense that no one is necessarily harmed by it is that there are consenting adults involved.”

Sex Workers Have The Right To Their Body

Every human being has the right to use their body according to their will. If a sex worker would want to rent out her body in exchange of money, then fine. That’s her right. And no one has the right to tell anyone what to do with her own body and life, especially just because it doesn’t adhere to other people’s moral principles or beliefs.


No matter what reasons of sex workers for involving in such activity, whether it’s for the money or pleasure, we don’t have the right to question or stop them. It’s their choice, and according to law, everyone has free choice of employment. They have the right to decide for themselves whether they want to participate in sex work in exchange of money. After all, aren’t we all using our bodies to earn?


But of course, it would only be a lot better if the government will legalize prostitution because it will give the sex workers rights and protection on their job.


Criminalization of prostitution, including other things that surround sex work, is not the real solution. Sex trade is here to stay, and by recognizing it as a legitimate form of work, all involved parties can receive guaranteed benefits. It would effectively lessen the burden on the government in terms of executing anti-prostitution laws and paying additional law enforcement. In addition, countries would increase their revenue through taxes, foreign exchange, and increased employment rate. Countries would also ensure safety environment for their people because sex workers will be required to undergo medical tests and receive adequate medical care. More importantly, legalization of prostitution would protect the rights of sex workers and give these people a chance to live a normal life they deserve.

Legal Prostitution Would Give The Sex Workers Employment Rights

Everyone, who is legally employed, has minimum rights and entitlements given by law, such as safety rights, minimum wage, health benefits, vacation pay, and protection against unlawful discrimination. And since sex workers don’t work legally, especially in countries that do not consider prostitution as a legitimate work, they don’t get any of these rights.


So, if an illegal sex worker is abused by her pimp or client and not paid accordingly, she can’t complain to the law officials because she is excluded from federal employment standard legislation. And even if she is forced to conduct the sexual activity in an unsafe place and the client demands an unprotected sex, she can’t afford to resist. And worse, sex workers with HIV/AIDS are denied to get health treatment, which they terribly need in order to survive.


If prostitution will be legalized, sex workers will be able to get access to the rights and services that they deserve. If a sex worker is raped or abused, she can complain to the police and even file lawsuit. Furthermore, she can get access to basic education and health services, just like anyone else.


Everyone deserves to be protected by law no matter of type of work people do, and that includes the sex workers.

Prostitution Can’t Be Prevented

Prostitution Can’t Be Prevented.

There’s an obvious reason why prostitution has been called “the world’s oldest profession”. It’s been around since almost the beginning of time, and it will always be. Even if all the nations around the world will unite to abolish it, they will never succeed.


No matter what we do, there will always be people, who will pay money to get sex for pleasure, and there will always be women or even men who will offer their body for money. Prostitution has been a part of the many cultures all over the world, and it will not be easily eradicated. So rather than wasting time and money in regulating ineffective solutions, the best thing to do is to just legalize it. If we can legalize other controversial things, like gambling, tobacco, and alcohol, why can’t we do it on prostitution?

Legalization Could Benefit A Government Through Taxes

Just like in any other industry, legalization of prostitution could lead to a chain effect that would significantly benefit a country – primarily through tax revenue. Once the sex workers and brothel owners obtained a license, they may participate in the business and enjoy their legal income that is taxable. As we already know, prostitution is a lucrative business. According to reports, each sex worker in Nevada earns as much as $3,000 per week. And let’s not forget the fact that there are others who earn more. If all sex workers are licensed and required to pay taxes in the U.S., just imagine how much tax revenue will the country get by this industry.


Furthermore, a government could also charge an annual fee to the license they provide for sex workers, brothel owners, and clients so they can continuously operate their business legally, which is also an additional income. Of course, when prostitution is properly regulated, people who patronize this industry will feel safer and thus, the demand for it will increase, which can also be an added benefit to the economy. More tourists will then visit the country to pay for sex service, which can significantly increased foreign exchange earnings.

Legalizing Prostitution Could Save The Country A Lot Of Money

In countries, where prostitution is illegal, billions of dollars are spent on dealing with it. In the U.S., law enforcement agencies spend at least $2,000 for each arrest of a sex worker – that includes the arrest, court, and imprisonment costs. And with the vast number of sex workers in the country, it costs the government more than $120 million a year on prostitution control.


And that amount, as we all know, is tax dollar, which is the money we pay in order to fund government programs. Do you think it’s worth it? Of course, it’s not, because after the police try their best to arrest sex workers and waste our money for the expense of court and hearings, these sex workers will just pay fines or stay in jail for a couple of days, and then get released to go back to their business. It’s a never-ending cycle. No matter how much we spend to eliminate prostitution, it doesn’t just work.


So as what advocates of decriminalization suggest, legalizing prostitution is much better than keeping it illegal. Technically speaking, prostitution can have positive effects if it is legalized and properly implemented. When prostitution is legalized, the government will no longer have to spend cost for hiring additional law officials to hunt down sex workers, enforcing laws against prostitution, and caring for sex workers in jail. After all, don’t we have more pressing matters to spend tax money on?
