  You people say that "they're getting something they don't get at home" as if you know what goes on behind their closed doors! Maybe their wives aren't giving them any because they are a bunch of cheating douche bags, did you ever think about that? The reason they do it is more likely because they have the money to get away with it. Of course if you want to believe the poor politicians are just sex starved, and their evil wives drove them to be with prostitutes, go ahead.

  Nose, when you don't know what you're talking about, (and you don't) resort to calling out people's typos. If no one's putting a gun to women's heads to become prostitutes, why do so many underage girls wind up dead, beaten, and pimped out, sometimes by their own family members? Why are their so many activist groups trying to help women FORCED into prostitution? Why do so many prostitutes wind up DEAD everyday? Why is their a huge international sex slave trade? No one's putting a gun to the head of pimps and Johns forcing them to seek out prostitutes. If men stopped paying for sex, there wouldn't be a sex trade. But you go ahead and blame it all on women.

  Angela is right. The sex slave trade is huge, but even small potato hookers may not always be walking the streets of their own volition. Everyone tends to stereotype them as lazy greedy w----s or whacked out drug jobs with no future. Men are prostitutes, too, but we don't hear about them nor are they condemned nearly as much as beautiful female hookers. I may not know why anyone would sell themselves, but I do know that prostitution is first and foremost a survival mechanism. One time I accompanied friends to a BDSM club and I met a male sub who told me he used to sell himself on the street in Philadelphia when he was a boy. Yes, all that sick stuff you hear about overseas happens right here in America, too. People should be more aware about this subject before jumping to conclusions and standing a moral high ground.

  The sex trade industry is huge in the Washington DC area, I know cause I live there. Certain areas where the clubs are there are the prostitutes awaiting for someone to pick them up. My friend worked at a bar that was filled with them and pimps and me and my friends happened to have came with her on her shift. It was crazy to see who these females leave with, some are your kids teachers, or your boss, or your college bound son.

  Like once stated a gun is not put to these girls head, is right to a certain extent. Some women do this by choice, they if that hey they are having sex anyway why not get paid to do it. Then you have girls from an unstable household with no fatherly background who look for it and unfortunately find it in pimps or boyfriends who know they have low self esteem and use it to their advantage so it is like having a emotional gun to a womans head. These men know what they are doing to make it seem like they are stuck and will have nothing without them, some even threaten them.

  Back to the politicians you think when your senator is in the DC area he isnt getting a BJ from a prostitute think again, my friend was a previous park ranger and man the stories I have heard about certain people of a higher authority "getting it in" in the park, and at times its not with a female..

  Its crazy but it is what it is..

  I don't see it being legalized, because just like marijuana it if it was to be legal it would be regulated and taxed. If that even makes sense.

  I'm all for both prostitution and drugs being legalized, especially marijuana. It will make them BOTH safer. And I'd LOVE for them to be taxed. They could use the money to actually cure a disease for a change.

  But, Andie is right. The government has too much to lose from the current system. They already make a lot of profit from the way things are, and if either drugs or prostitution were legalized, it would be too easy to find out what politicians and other public servants were using them.
