I think you are arguing with yourself.
I have stated twice that prostitution should be LEGAL so people can use it responsibly but you seem hell-bent on convincing people it is going to be a future socially acceptable practice. I reiterate, grow-up. People do not want prostitution (in Europe, Uk, America, that's what I am talking about, not any far-flung society to reference to as it is convenient for a nonsensical argument) as a social trend to be passed down to their kids, it is at odds with the corner-stone of western society. That being, if you do not know, monogamous family life. That is the most productive model for society.
Prostitution, today, in successful civilisations is immoral. That is the place we are at now. I didnt say that all the people from thousands of years ago have this belief, if you read it in context (whole pargraph) you would see I was talking about modern populations, did you miss that lol?
If you don't respect the views of the masses then you're in the wrong country my friend.
On a side note: What about the cost of STD's? That is why it was frowned on by victorians. Social evolution established to protect people. So now antibiotics clear it all up. Back then people died and suffered from contracting disease.
I live in England, and you would have to be an idiot to not see that the majority of people are involved in monogamous practices.

You can't dissect this because it's true. True democracy is voting for all, not excluding racial groups. Come on man. Do you think that that was true democracy? You need a politics lesson.
I have already said why it should be kept behind closed doors but maybe I need to simplify it for you. People ARE offended by it.
You seem incapable of following an argument, and determined to bend things out of shape to your own agenda, whilst forgetting or changing the previous comments you make.
I think you need luck and to find another forum lol.
My mind is very open, but I respect other peoples' sensibilities. And I could respect your viewpoint if you had pitched it in a less forceful, more sensible manner.
Nearly half of the population of Britain are married, and of the remaining half a very sizable chunk are in monogamous relationships. I respect your right to seek out other people with your views and to start-up any type of relationships you wish but you are not going to re-educate the people of my country that prostitution is right and proper. Or, for example, that we should all go out and create three or four-way relationships. If you think any such doomed to fail crusade has a snowflakes chance in hell of succeeding then not only are you lying to me, but you're lying to yourself as well.
Not gonna happen. Sensible people do not want to slip down a doomed path of decadence. We do not want to share our wives with our neighbours, for example. Monogamy works for me and for most people, providing a sound family unit in which to bring up our children. The whole western world evolved toward this point and it is a supremely effective model, adopted by all the most productive societies. Should we make similar mistakes to the romans and doom our society to collapse? Would it work as well under a polygamous model? I think you'll find that all social groups that maintain polygamous practices are all flagging behind in development.
Unless you can up your game I consider this closed. If you are not going to bring anything intellectually sound then I am not going to waste my time typing out another response.
