All The News For Atlanta Escorts.

Sometimes it’s fun to check out how the rest of the world views prostitution and the laws surrounding. As we all know, Europe (parts of it anyway) are a bit more tolerant than the US when it comes to things like sex, porn and dudes on beaches in Speedos. In France prostitution isn’t a crime. Solicitation sort of is, mind you, making it a little difficult, but that’s just a little hiccup in the road.

France’s approach to prostitution is similar to many countries’ – they’re OK with it if it’s not out in public. So if you arrange a meeting in private, that’s cool. But when they criminalized solicitation, it forced women off the streets and that, in turn, made the profession more dangerous for all those reasons people who are against prostitution like to point out. More pimps, more violence, more danger all around. The solution? Brothels!

The government has proposed bringing back brothels to France, banned since 1946, in the hopes of offering prostitutes some more security, health care, dignity, all that jazz. Are the women stoked? Not at all.

The thing about governments legislating how and where and why you pay for sex is that, technically, not of these people are whores. At least not in that way. It’s like an IT specialist trying to manage a dairy farm. You’ll be hard pressed to expect anything to make sense because the person in charge has no idea what they’re doing.

For that reason, many prostitutes are opposing the brothel initiative. They don’t want to fall under the purview of the government or brothel owners, they want the freedom to work they way they desire.

One curious critique of the entire program deals with the spread of disease. Thanks to a number of outbreaks of HIV in the porn industry, there was a bit of a crackdown on health and testing for performers and that is actually something the French prostitutes are opposed to.
