It is a difficult one, which is why I posted it. Wondered what others thought. One the one hand, I think if men (we'll say 'men' for the example on following point) didn't have access to sex, we could see more women being forced into sex against their will and in extreme cases, dragged into the bushes and raped. So the sex workers provide a necessary service. On the other hand, I feel for the people (men and women) who have no choice but to work in the industry. Agree ab it will keep the women safer. Oldest profession in the world, and I watched a programme recently (forget what it was called) where it was pretty obvious, some do enjoy the work. But I would guess the majority don't. I suppose my conclusion, is if it exists, will continue to exist, and keeps people safer as it's obviously needed by some, then why not decriminalise and make the sex workers safer.
