That's a great point, and honestly, not something I was aware of and I'd like to mull it over. I guess I still have a little discomfort about the dichotomy of legalizing sale but making purchase illegal, even though the outcome is preferable.

Because at least then they have some legal recourse, which they absolutely do not now. Even if it's a facade, it's better than criminalization.

Exactly. Prostitution is going to happen. The more awareness and legal protections we can put in place the better.

Decriminalizing it would promote the health of sex workers and their children. Married men are bringing that shit home because their is no regulation. With legalization would come regulation.

I have a longtime fantasy (not in a naughty way) of running my own brothel.

My point was not get over the job loss, but to get over the loss of something that people don't appreciate.

Starting your comment with "uh," or "um," is a tell about what is going to follow.

I'm sure they knew the risks when they took the job.

Yay!

I love that neck-biting!

Thanks, I wondered about that after I posted. Dan Savage was the first person I heard it from - and I use it often!

I love that, but I think Dan Savage said it before Betty White got credited with it.

Portland Oregon!

Portland Oregon! oops, I responded to the wrong person.

That's my sister's anniversary! They actually got married on a Friday - and have been together for 20+ years.

That was my son's first song! But he sang it like this... "I'm a baby, so why don't you kill me...?!"
