The Oldest Profession

It is cited that in the past ten years at least sixty, an probably a far greater number of prostitutes have been murdered on the streets of Britain. Nearly all British Prostitutes have also at some time been involved in a violent attack be it with bare hands, a knife, a gun or some other instrument. With affairs the way they are it seems ludicrous that we persist in outlawing this profession.
Personally I do not feel the need to cheapen myself by paying for sex, but one must not be so naïve as to think that everyone else is willing to be so high and mighty. The sad fact is that there will always be “supply and demand” in what is called by many “the oldest profession in the world”.
It is also grossly naïve to think that it might be eradicated by more stringent laws, this will just drive prostitutes and their clients further underground, into more dangerous parts of towns and cities in order to avoid detection. With many working girls having been forced into their profession by drug addiction, and the need to feed that addiction they are charging as little as £25 for the full, and degrading use of their bodies.
Is it not time perhaps that we recognised that this trade can never be stopped, and that instead of endangering these women further by driving them underground we should protect them? It is for that reason that I call on you to support the call for the legalisation and safe regulation of this profession. Make brothels clean and safe and free of the STI’s that these poor women risk, give them security of somewhere they can be sure to be paid for their services, and not simply attacked for requesting the payment they have earned.
