In...Congratulations on both these accolades, James. International success!!! I'm very happy for you.<br /><br />I think that some years ago, Edinburgh allowed brothels to operate in the city. They were regulated and inspected and the workers were checked for STDs on a regular basis. There was also security and so the workers were safe from attack of both viruses and clients.<br /><br />What a sensible idea.<br /><br />Of course, I'm sure that there were women who operated outside the regulated system, but one would have to ask why!<br /><br />Not for nothing is prostitution is called the oldest profession in the world. There is a constant demand for sex, usually from men. And women, long ago, learned how to exploit that demand for their own advantage.<br /><br />Good looking (and normally young) people expolit their good looks and sexual attraction in many different jobs... whether it is the obvious modelling, or acting, being a star, or simply by looking their best at interviews for public facing jobs of the more mundane variety.<br /><br />Once we get into legislating prostitution out of existence, we enter a bears' den. <br /><br />The most important thing to remember is that if you believe in women's rights, you surely believe in the rights of women to decide what to do with their bodies.<br /><br />As you say, James, women are not the only ones who are involved in the sex industry. Many successful women want to hire an escort, and that may involve more than the actual "escorting"; and in most cities, including, I imagine Reykjavik, there are rent boys providing sex for gay men.<br /><br />I wonder if the legislation works for men's rights too...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
