POUNPOUI Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 "Taxing them on their earnings would be a bonanza for state coffers." First. I am not sure if the fee given by the client to the bartender is annouced to the taxes. Second . I am not sure if the workers declare what they receive from customer when they go out of the bar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebean001 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 prostitution happens multiple times per second. you cannot say it is illegal and stop it. You absolutely must know you cannot stop it. It is a means of income for some and entertainment for others and can really be a lot more. Legal or illegal it is going to happen. Do law makers seriously understand that? Got it!!! If it is illegal then it allows powerful men to abuse the man and woman participating. They can arrest them. They can take money from them. There would be no other reason. maybe they think arrest is a punishment. That really a bad way to stop anything. That simply make people me angry and solves nothing...NOTHING! If it is illegal, in other words a crime has been commited, then an arrest must lead to education, prevention, rehab. That cost a lot of money and seldom works. So just punish and make it worse. That does not seem to be the answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eeworldwide Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 I always found sex rather more enjoyable when the person I was engaging in the act with, wanted to do it with me because they liked me. Call me old-fashioned! But yes - would make sense to legalise the whole thing. Will probably save countless lives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well in a modern society you really only have 2 choices, legalise the industry and try and clean it up or make it illegal and eradicate it. Most would understand that eradicating prostitution in Thailand is not going to happen, so legalise it. Same could be said for cannabis, which seems to be the growing solution all over the world. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What nonsense, I have never been desperate enough to pay a woman for sex,,, paying for dinner for your Mrs is hardly the same as agreeing a transaction for sex. You are basically saying that anyone who has a sexual relationship is sleeping with a hooker, and all women are hookers! I would like to see you convince my wife of that..r indeed any other woman on the face of the earth! ???? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n00dle Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 (edited) A truly sensible proposal, however in the time of covid, perhaps not the best time to bring it up. Other concern is how many will continue to practice in the greynarea to avoild the label sex worker. The legislation may be truly progressive for a change, however the uptake from workers may be less than desired. As for taxation, they have enough difficulty monitoring legitmate businesses. Good luck monitoring sex workers. Edited June 23, 2020 by n00dle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your view is not old fashioned at all my friend, I love my wife dearly, she is my soul mate, I am blessed to have found her. We have a beautiful son and are very happy. She takes care of me and I her, yes of course money is involved but that does not make my wife a hooker, as someone here has suggested that all men pay for sex. To be frank I find it very sad for men who feel that a prostitute is a substitute for a lifelong partner, they have obviously not met the right woman. I saw a documentary of a guy who moved to Thailand, dumped his UK life with wife and kids and believed a life living it up in Thailand was the way to go, after all you only live once right! He was vey unhappy, his meaningless sex with countless hookers was no substitution for a loving relationship and he deeply regretted his decision and found he had lost purpose in life. Thailand is full of guys like this, it is very sad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't disagree with you. Some sensible countries have legalized it. But some have tightened their laws against it. This is a direct result of the feminist lobby.

I personally found this quite an amazing comment from a Thai MP referring to his fellow country persons, especially those MP's in "upper establishment". Some may hail from World War 11 (as I do) but I believe their beliefs and behavior go way back to the medieval ages!! Out of interest, I presume "prostitution" includes both sexes?

TKDfella Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Well, it has never been a 'service' that I have ever used so whether it is a 'worth while service' or an overrated/overpriced 'industry', I don't know. We all know the possible present health issues so my question would be, would it be any better in Thailand if it were controlled? What I really mean is, would it BE properly controlled? If it is anywhere as good as previous attempts at 'traffic control (deaths of)' then perhaps it wouldn't be any different to what it is now (whatever that might be). Wonder if the government would have 'training' venues Ha!???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

natway09 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 The idea has merit & he has done well to discuss it in the open. It needs careful thought & I for one getting too old to care one way or the other. The massive industry in the formal Thai area (have a look at Suttisan massage prtlours) where can have 500 girls in a "fish bowl" & the rake off is massive but going into almost criminal hands The above cater mainly for Thais. Most farang do not even know the scale of these "clubs". In favour decriminalize (No pimps & no police payments needed. gov't coffers helped through taxes health checks easier forworkers as less stigma easier ID for customers of chosen as have official number There are many more but we can discuss further later. Interesting to note in NZ where it is legal no males are allowed to run any businesses associated with this profession (think about that) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on what you consider good sex. Girlfriends and wives want to have sex with you as part of a loving relationship. They are doing it because they want you. Paying a prostitute to have sex with you is just a business transaction which she doesn't actually want to do but has to as it's her job. That is fine as long as you are not kidding yourself that it is anything different. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
