isnt it about time we changed the law in this country in line with the swedish model. and criminalise the seeking of sexual services. by making brothels legal we are condeming women to being seen and treated as a commodity. something that can be bought and sold. is this really a good idea? should we not be creating a world in which womens bodies are not for sale. girls at the moment are ciminalised. by criminilasing the men seeking sexual services, it reduces the demand. women should be helped out of prostitution. most women when asked if they want out, say yes. whilst in theory it may seem a good idea and safe for the women, there are in my opinion, much better alternatives, and it should not be seen as idealistic to live in a world in which women are not for sale.

No Elisabeth Oyster we should not follow the Swedish model of infantalising women who work as prostitutes! In today's world adult women have free choices and in principle I see no difference between a woman making money as a fashion model and making money as a prostitute. I think we should go in a completely different way to Sweden and legalise licensed brothels. What consenting adults do behind closed doors should not be a concern of yours.
