Seems that you are hoping that a guy is caught and his home life destroyed, children humiliated, and a probable divorce and there could be some underlying reason. I think that is particularly that police waste the time to catch the Johns and ruin their lives. It is entrapment and it is not a good thing. Guys do get fined for the use of prostitutes. But for the John it goes well beyond that. I am only saying that sometimes (as I mentioned in my earlier posting), there can be a reason. The morality of prostitution should be none of our concerns. That is what we have a God for?

Shame is undervalued as a preventive tool.

I don't see the point in sending prostitutes to jail. It's not like they are violent or anything. They need some sort of life skills to be able to live a normal, respectable life.

I'm almost there with you.About 95%. But, I need to reserve 5% of my opinion because of the "Food Chain" theory I'm thinking off. ie: John pays ho. Ho buys drugs. Not a good thing. Or. Ho pays pimp enabling Mr. Pimp to ride around in Pimp Mobile. Not a good thing.

Here-in lies the problem.

Maybe I'm crazy, but I don't think that the "Escort Services" in the phone book are legal. I mean, ok maybe "Paying another consenting adult for her time and then you all deciding what happens from there" maybe ok, but I think we all know what those services are for right?

and this is different from a prostitute?

google charlotte escorts and look at the photos that cannot be link to this site for female and male and you will see it more than just dinner they are seeking. Only difference is the median form use to advertise their services.

YES!!!! I do wonder - if wives and g/f have no clue (and like I said - according to every man you ask - NO ONE THEY KNOW USES THESE SERVICES!!!!) So someone is using these services . . . and I gotta think . . . STDs . . . or worse.

Very much agree. Help them address the drug problem if that is why they are on the streets.

The other difference is the amount of money involved. Call girls are a lot more expensive than street prostitutes.
