I think this is a tough one, and I'm not sure where I stand on this.

On the one hand I don't think the government should be able to tell you what you can and can't do with your body. If you want to sell your body, you should be able to.

But on the other hand, if you legalise it then you open the door to people being exploited, and I'm aware that people are exploited now in prostitution, obviously, but I feel if it's legal it might be harder to punish those that do.

So maybe on balance it's better for it to be illegal if it protects at least some people.

Or it could be easier because it becomes regulated and controlled?


How do you think keeping it illegal keeps sex workers more safe?
