This is very sad. The leftist in America should understand that this is what will happen if their plans to legalize prostitution in an effort to make it "safer" succeed.

There will be an AIDS epidemic, if not already. I don't feel sorry for em onne da#n bit.

They did it in Nv and it has not stopped the street walkers even though they are in violation of the law. It did clean up the brothels I understand..but what good is that if they still walk the streets?

[scouse]

many were having to settle for $20 - or even less for oral sex.

Someone should teach these young women how to design handbags.

"We can't expect to get $100 when these young things are offering it for much less just around the corner," said South Auckland prostitute, Cindy, who has been working the streets for 15 years.

Does anyone have the progressive photos of the prostitute was arrested over and over? After 15 years on the street is it any wonder the customers go for younger, fresher, cheaper hookers?

And the girls are selling it so cheap because (A) they likely live at home (or a cheap hostel) and (B) they've been brought up to "understand" that sex isn't worth much (it certainly isn't prized or cherished, plenty of people just give it away).

Where once a sex worker could expect $100 for her services, many were having to settle for $20 - or even less for oral sex.

"As a sex worker, I find this exploitation to be degrading! How cheap do they think I am???"

[weegee]

arging less does not mean more work. It just means you work harder for the same money."

Old joke:

Hooker: "It was a rough night! I only made seventy dollars and fifty cents!"

Pimp? "Huh? Which one of 'em was it that gave you the fifty cents?"

Hooker: "They all did!"

[AlbertWang]

But Auckland Prostitutes Collective head Kate Dickie was sceptical of suggestions that decriminalisation of the industry had led to aggressive competition on the streets. "Charging less does not mean more work. It just means you work harder for the same money."

Can Someone who speaks english translate that for me?

Sounds like a situation where minority youth especially are being victimized.

"Unfortunately, prostitution does attract undesirables, which in turn creates more crime and disorder," he said.

The same could be said of homosexuals and drug addicts.

What's your minimum wage, dear?

Government is not the answer, Sheryl.

"The leftist in America should understand that this is what will happen if their plans to legalize prostitution in an effort to make it "safer" succeed."

Prostitution has been legal here in Alabama for the last 200 years, yet you'd be hard-pressed to find a single hooker if you drove around all night.

It's not the law. It's what is in your heart.

The boom in prostitution hasn't come *because* of the change in laws, but rather, becuase the liberal culture is convincing children to pursue paths that are dangerous to them.

Even in this article, if you read between the lines, you can see that what they are complaining about is that *children* are now charging for sex.

Forget laws. When should parents ever let *children* do such things? No sane parent would...which means that the parents are either missing or not sane.

So focusing on the *law* itself takes your eye off of the ball. The law isn't the problem...society (or the breakdown of it) is. Thus, the problem is far deeper than merely some new change in a law.

There has been a change in society, and not for the better.

Sex workers? Are you kidding me?

Bulls---.

The problem is that the police have decided not to crack down on streetwalkers. A combination of legalizing prostitution in registered brothels and a hard-line approach to streetwalkers would work fine (and it is working well in Nevada).

Looks like the market is picking its price.

Prostitution is a victimless crime. Yea, right.

[SoCal Pubbie]

I think this story offers a glimpse into what might happen should drugs be legalized here. Many who support such an idea argue that drug trade related crime and gangbang activity would come to a screeching halt. I have always argued otherwise. I don't think the gangs would just go away. Drug dealers would simply cater to a demand that laws would still prohibit- selling to underage users, supplying more powerful drugs, etc.

"Decriminalisation had done nothing to deter young sex workers."


Bwahahahahahahahaaha! No sh!t!

[RichInOC]

Teenagers offer cheap sex

I'm not surprised. It's a tough market down there. I mean, in some areas, they're competing against sheep.
