On the street, not so good.
In a brothel, health-controlled... maybe.
Then, of course, there is that guy who has been married forever...and his wife shut down 15 yrs ago... and this guy has some serious blue hangers..

Bigger picture. We call ourselves the land of the free. But we really aren’t.

We don’t even have the freedom to make the most basic choice as a human. It’s not a matter of right or wrong. It’s that the choice of just about every behavior is heavily regulated or prohibited.

I do believe that I'm better off single

Are you yankin my lariat? Girlfriend of a few years? Seriously?

I always thought what this country needs is a good $5 blow job.

By definition, that means it was moral.

Idk if you're better off single, but you are certainly better off without her!

This. This will change everything.

They will have some level of programming ability, I’m sure. So if you yearn for psycho bipolar again every now and then, there will be an option for that.

Hmmm.... Maybe I've been approaching love from the wrong direction....

I agree, it is morally wrong.

I can understand the "government shouldn't regulate it" argument... Less government it usually better. Consent is consent. None of the government's business.

However, the big problem is human trafficking, particularly with young girls. They aren't really consenting, voluntary participants. They are slaves.

I'm completely serious. She had a regular job when we started dating. She started hooking several months before I left her. Somehow, I was the jerk for discovering it and leaving. And I went to the clinic the next day for testing. Sure do wish I'd figured it out sooner.

shocking how many fellow members lean toward it not being absolutely illegal. My agency probably handles the most trafficking cases in the country. The vast majority of the women (and sometimes men) and children involved in prostitution are trafficked. Not to mention the involvement of narcotics and diseases involved in the "trade". Cmon guys. The women who just "choose" to engage in this is minuscule.

I'm sorry I said anything. I never learn to keep my mouth shut.
Southwest Missouri? Had a four day canoe trip on the Current river. Fantastic! Maybe your neck of the woods. And saw a pair of B-2's fly overhead!

Don't be sorry about saying anything. She's how I learned that being accused of something you didn't do is often a backwards confession!

And I'm in the very southwest corner.

In the 1980’s, I was put in charge of a business my company acquired. I inherited the staff, including a secretary, as well.

After a year, the secretary came to me in tears and explained that I would fire her because people she had worked for before, as a call girl in Manhattan, would tell me about her history.

I explained that she had been an excellent secretary and that her history did not concern me.

I never heard from her “employers” and she continued to be an excellent secretary as long as I was there.

People do what they need to do to live, changing when the opportunity presents if they choose to do so.

So the issue is human trafficking, not the sex for money. Ditto for child sex abuse, illegal drugs, and other crimes that accompany illicit prostitution.

Bringing prostitution out of the shadows might make it a lot easier to police those other crimes.

How's that working out for drugs and guns?

Not being of any particular faith I rarely say such things, but, from your lips to God's ears.

The early models will probably have detachable orifices for easy cleaning, but once they can be waterproofed to 100m or so they should be able to just go take a shower as needed.

Until then, we'll all have to remember to make sure our girlfriend's butt holes aren't just lying around in the sink when company comes over.

If it was legal, you'd walk into the local strip club and just pick out a girl and go about your business and the government would check them and test them and etc. There wouldn't be any market for sex trafficing or street prostitutes or whatever.
