MOUND HOUSE, Nevada (Reuters) - In a small Nevada town, a sign at the end of a poorly lighted street lined with warehouses bears an unusual message: "Warning-Sexual entertainment 300 yards ahead. If sex offends you, get out of here."
At the Bunny Ranch in Mound House, men travel many miles to spend hundreds or even thousands of dollars to have sex in the only U.S. state to allow legal brothels.
Yet even in permissive Nevada, legal prostitution operates at the margins of society and, unlike other vices such as gambling and pornography, without mainstream America's embrace. The brothel owners themselves disagree whether to stay in the shadows or trumpet their services.

"No more FR?"
Gosh, no. Everyone will have the same opinion, you see, so FR would be boring. You'll get your choice, though, between a harp and a flute. Well...maybe not a flute..."There was this one time at band camp..."
>>>What religious laws of yesteryear?
Let's see, we JUST THIS MONTH repealed a law in Georgia giving the Bible tax free sale, while the other religious books paid the ole taxola.
Also, it just recently became NOT illegal for sodomy, even between a husband and a wife.
Should I go on or do you get the point? (somehow I doubt it and you will try to convince me that religion had nothing to do with laws, especially regarding sex, which I will then laugh at you)
Government pandering to people who think force should be used to impose the "morality" of some on the many.
Mainly, women want it outlawed so their husbands won't engage in it.
LMAO!!! As if men don't pay for it anyway! Keep tellin yourself that, ok?
Oh, and you don't pay a prostitute for sex, you pay them to shut up and go away when it's over.
>>>Yeah, and the ugly ones will still be cheaper...
LMAO!!
Hey, ain't capitalism great? Free market and all...
What does any of that have to do with prostitution?
>>>Mainly, women want it outlawed so their husbands won't engage in it.>>>
Bingo.
"Mainly, women want it outlawed so their husbands won't engage in it."
I don't know about that. Promoting stable family relationships is pretty much a commonplace in most societies of any size. Prostitution and adultery interfere with those relationships, so societies tend to make rules against them.
What fun would a forum be if everyone agreed, you're right. Harps would be a good non-sexual musical instrument.
Do you think many husbands have sex with prostitutes?
Imagine a man's shock if he went to one of these "businesses" and was led into a room and there was his daughter!
>>>What does any of that have to do with prostitution?
It's obvious you can't even keep up with your own discussion. You asked me why is prostitution illegal, I answered a carryover from religious laws of yesteryear. Then you asked SPEFICALLY "What religious laws of yesteryear? ", I answered you again.
I'm not keeping up anymore if you can't.
"As for me, I have never paid for sex, nor would I ever."
I've been married for 18 years. Boy have I paid!
>>>Imagine a man's shock if he went to one of these "businesses" and was led into a room and there was his daughter!>>>
Dear God at the thought. Would serve him right I guess. I'm not FOR prostitution, I'm for the freedom to choose that if someone ELSE wants it. Also for the freedom for a person to do what they want with their body.
"I've been married for 18 years. Boy have I paid!"
Really? I've found that my marriage is about a lot more than sex. The whole thing has been more than worth the cost. I guess not everyone has that kind of marriage.
In some communities fathers have no idea who their children are, and I suspect it is happening all the time. In years to come, if those communities do not start using birth control, they will breed themselves out of existence.
When I was a student at the Air War College, one of the faculty members was introduced by the Commandant as, "This is Colonel X, father of 12 children and the War College's foremost advocate of the Peter Principle."
"Do you think many husbands have sex with prostitutes?
Imagine a man's shock if he went to one of these "businesses" and was led into a room and there was his daughter!"
I included others in the mix. You may conclude that they are the greater amount if you wish.
You always pay for sex. ALWAYS!
