Why did the state of nevada legalize prostitution?

They actually never made it criminal to begin with. Why should it be? Two consenting adults agree to have sex, then one gives the other a gift. Why should a government care?

I certainly don't fear "the competition"...Besides the fact that my husband gets it good at home, most of the prostitutes I've seen are FAR from "very hot chick"...Most of them are drug addicted skanks who stopped trying to have any other skills when they realized they could make money off their own twat.\n\nPersonally, I believe that it should be legalized, as this removes much of the mystique and sordidness from the whole situation.  Also, in most places where it's legal, they're tested for diseases on a regular basis, which obviously solves a major problem.

Escort service, no. Brothel yes. It all depends upon what the escorts do while they are out on call. This is a pretty fine line to walk, and you should expect to be checked out periodically by the authorities should you decide to run a legitimate (aka no sex) escort service. Then there is Nevada, in which anything goes...

Las Vegas isn't a country, it's a city, in a state, in a country, which happens to be the USA, in which gambling is NOT illegal.  That's why.

We in Scotland already have Tolerance areas/saunas for prostitutes, and it seems to be working well, not only can the authorities monitor what is going on, and put a stop to Pimping, but the girls also get regular health checks to help prevent the spread of diseases, and the girls work in a safe enviroment. Whether you agree with what they do or not, is it not better to monitor what goes on than have a bunch of Eastern European, Aids ridden prostitutes who are being pimped by criminal gangs or to feed drug habbits, and causing a nuisance to the public in certain areas they use? They're going to do it anyway, why not make it safer for everyone.

It should!\n\n5 reasons:\n\n1. Healthier\n2. Use taxes for education\n3. The licensing process will allow to track down.\n4. Less crime\n5. Make sure the workers are protected\n\nJust like in Nevada and Europe - this should be legal here too!

supply and demand.  Men are always offering up sex.  Opening the door...offering sex.  going to dinner...offering sex.  They have the power of "the box".  U need a girlfriend, then you won't have to pay (in a sense), or participate in illegal activity (except in Nevada I believe).

Most prostitution is not drug related, true some drug addicts begin selling themselves to pay for their drug habits. Most prostitution comes from a man meeting a woman who has low self esteem and dating her for a very short minute and then moving her into prostitution. Pimps are more profitable when they are deep in ho's meaning when they have many prostitutes in their stable. These women just cant run, although they like to think that they can, the pimp "sweats" them meaning he drives around the block, has his people watching his prostitute, when the prostitute "breaks" or gets a john he watches her close, when the john leaves the pimp tells the woman to break herself, meaning to give him the money she just made, then she goes back out on the track meaning a predesignated, usually by the pimp, area and she walks up and down the street solicting herself. Most movies you see the prostitutes standing around on a street corner. This is not how prostitution works, they have to walk the track and keep walking they stop when they have a john. If you legalize prostitution you may get rid of the pimps sweating their ho's and many of the prostitutes would be able to run, but to legalize would be to only allow prostitution in specific buildings, peace officers would have to be present at all times and the sex acts themselves would have to be recorded, this would be to ensure that prostitutes dont get raped, because yes they do get raped.

Yes, in Nevada it is.\n\nCheck the following source for further information.

Because they like prostitution to be kept "underground" where they can't see poor, physically abused, disease ridden, former runaways, with no teeth, drug addicted, indentured servant women.  They'd much rather have that than legalize something that they think is completely immoral because anything that ain't of Christan morals can't be condoned, right? (even though legalizing Prostitution would save many thousands of women from the criminals that run illegal prostitution in the US today).

They are the only state that allow hookers...smoking weed is no worse than banging betty's, so I could see it happening.

Absolutely.With guidlines, such as they cannot ply their trade on the streets, pay taxes just like all working people and operate out of a house(brothel).It works great in Nevada.It would also be safer for the girls since they wouldn't be on the street.I also think that its better for the public as long as there is a 'red-light district' instead of them invading neighbourhoods where kids go to school and bringing property down. No one want to look out and see a hooker do her business out their window.I beleive everyone would win if it was legalized.

Yes.  And allow me to elucidate.\n\n1)  It's the world's oldest profession for a reason.  Trying to stamp out prostitution is like trying to drain a river with a straw.\n\n2)  It's a consensual act.  The buyer and the seller are both willing participants.  I'm not saying that it's healthy, but those who sell their bodies aren't being stopped anyway.  And healthy profits can fund the therapy needed to get out of that business' mindset... in theory.  Or it can buy a lot of drugs... which is another legalization topic to hold...\n\n3)  Legalization can lead to regulation: required doctor visits for health certification, like the "A, B, C" system in California restaurants.  With legal prostitutes to visit, there may be a decrease in "blind hookups" at your local bar, where a lot of disease gets spread around for free... well, for the price of a few drinks.

No, all of the outstanding election results have been determined. All of them. Nevada voted yes on a ban on pot.

Many different areas have different programs to help reduce prostitution.  Some jurisdiction will show the faces of the johns on TV and newspapers.  Others will offer diversion program for the prostitute that include counselling and work training.\n\nIt is all about education and drug addiction.  If the prostitutes have no education and has to support their habits, they will do things for the money.

Well, Nevada is correct, but I do not see any reference to this connection in the wikipedia article cited above.\n\nInstead try:\nhttp://www.vcnevada.com/history.htm\n\nBUT it wasn't simply the need of the gold that led Lincoln to rush Nevada to statehood, and one could argue whether the silver was the most IMPORTANT reason to Lincoln's mind.  \n\nAt the time he was also trying to get the 13th amendment passed.  It came up a little short in the House in June of 1864, so clearly it was a struggle.  Lincoln hoped to push it through the next time (and finally succeeded on January 31, 1865), but would still need 3/4 of the states to ratify it.  THAT was a major reason for his wanting an additional state (and note that they were already getting MONEY from Nevada before this --but it couldn't give them those votes except as a STATE!)\n\nAs War Department official Charles A. Dana wrote:\n   "In order thus to amend the Constitution, it was necessary first to have the proposed amendment approved by three-fourths of the States. When that question came to be considered, the issue was seen to be so close that one State more was necessary. The State of Nevada was organized and admitted into the Union to answer that purpose. I have sometimes heard people complain of Nevada as superfluous and petty, not big enough to be a State; but when I hear that complaint, I always hear Abraham Lincoln saying, 'It is easier to admit Nevada than to raise another million of soldiers.'"\nhttp://www.mrlincolnandfreedom.org/inside.asp?ID=56&subjectID=3

They have more sense than the rest.\n\nIncidently, it is legal except in Clark Co. which includes Las Vegas and the county (which name I don't recall) in which Reno is located.
