Atlanta Escorts: Taiwan Legalizes Prostitution

Posted on June 27th, 2009 in Atlanta escorts

Half a world away it’s surprising to see what it takes to make a government take action. Taiwan, which only outlawed prostitution 11 years ago, just decided to bring it back. Because prostitutes asked them to.

It’s something of a numbers game in Taiwan and that makes it all the more amusing when contrasted with North American prostitution. One of the quotes in a recent article on the topic was that “It’s something the public has wanted for 12 years.” The internet tells us that there are about 84,000 full time sex workers in America, based on various estimates, though arrest figures would indicate it’s over 100,000. 15% of men in America, according to a survey, have admitted to paying for sex, meaning in actuality you have to assume that number is higher. How high does the number have to be in America for prostitution to qualify as something the public wants?

No matter what people say, what argument there is against prostitution, it’s all amazingly wasted breath because, for everyone with eyes and ears, you’re not fooling anyone. Prostitution is in every major city in the country. It has been here since the country was founded.

Back to Taiwan a moment. The government, for a time, had made it illegal for prostitutes but not their clients, a law that is reflected in other places around the world as well, either through act or omission on the part of lawmakers. Rather than rolling it back to make it illegal for the customers as well, lawmakers are going ahead and decriminalizing it across the board as it’s not really justifiable to punish one party to an act but not the other.
