Prostitution is already legal in the West, I meant, legalize polygamy because it is natural and cleaner?

How about marrying a woman with more than one husband? I could benefit from my brothers, have plenty of time for myself, have plenty of help in caring for my children, but I might have to wait for alone time. \nCheck out the social heirarchy of gorilla packs and chimp tribes. Other primates have this sort of arrangement too, so its definately a part of our social anscestry.

In Nevada, prostitution is legal.  The women make about 10,000 a month.

I'm pretty sure that this practice is frowned upon in all 50 states whether or not there are actually statutes on the books prohibiting it. If you're determined to get a little extra-species loving, I suggest that you emigrate to a country where it's not only legal, but encouraged. A quick check of Wikipedia gave me the following options for your unusual tastes in partners: Peru, Greece and New Zealand.

Yes, marijuana should be legalized.  If you were to put the stats together, you would see that many, many more rapes, murders, thefts, assaults, fatal car crashes, deadly occupational accidents, and various other crimes have been committed under the influence of alcohol.  Recently, a young man was arrested for murdering his mother. His line of defense was that he was under the influence of Marijuana.  Marijuana does not make one aggressive in the least. Anyone that does or has smoked will testify to that. Marijuana has a relaxing effect, not to mention its medicinal benefits.  As for prostitution, it should also be legalized. It is THE oldest profession in the WORLD. You cannot put a restriction on ones body.  The only way to stop it would be to eliminate one of the sexes. Just my guess, but there would probably be a drop in sex crimes and sexually transmitted diseases if prostitution were to become legal.  THE ONLY REASON NEITHER OF THESE THINGS ARE LEGAL, IS BECAUSE OUR GOVERNMENT CANT FIGURE A WAY TO CONTROL OR TAX THEM. (Like cigarettes and alcohol. Which by the way is two very high contributors to our mortality rate here in America.)  Hence the war against them.

No. It is not legal in the US and you are pathethic to ask such a question.  Who are you kidding, you can't get 1 wife let alone 7!

Downfall of mankind n moral decay. These r mere words. Different people make judgment on a particular situation using their own moral standards. Hugging n kissing openly is acceptable to some n abhorred by others. Polygamy is perfectly legal in some c'tries n illegal in others. In some c'tries, prostitution is a legal profession. Sometimes these laws n standards coexist esp in multi-racial, religious n cultural c'tries. Coming back to your question. What standards are u using when u posed this question?

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.

Prostitution- offering sex for money is NOT illegal in the UK.\nHowever safety features for the prostitutes, and for society are not in place.\nI believe whether we want it or not prostitution will continue because there is the demand for it.  Therefore I would like to see\nbetter provisions for the service, taking in the account of the the needs of society, the sex workers, and the wife's and husbands of some of the people who will be clients.\nI am in favour of prostitution continuing, and becoming safer and more open.

It's everywhere regardless of whether or not it is legal, like in Nevada. Did you just watch Dr. Keith??? LOL! They had some of the hookers on there from Moonlight Ranch or whatever. Anywhooooo, I think that it is disgusting, but it's not my body so who cares. If they want to do it, let 'em. But, I don't think that it should be legalized it in all states due to public health issues such as spreading STD's, HIV and Hepatitis. Plus, I wouldn't want my daughter's growing up to think that it was fine to do since it was legal...

Have you ever heard of polygamy involving more than one husband? I like it about as much as the idea of a threesome with two women. Don't men have enough problems with just one wife?

Polygamy is when somebody marries more than one person.  I wouldn't want to be in a type of relationship like that.  Here in America, it should be legal.  Since this is a free country, why not let us choose who we want to marry and how many we want to marry.  In other countries, people do it because that's how they can feed and take care of women and children.  And in the old days, in war, a man was allowed to marry his brother's wife if his brother died in war.  This was to take care of the wife and children.  Bottom line is it should be allowed everywhere in the United States.

No, it is illegal in all states.\n\nUtah was required to outlaw polygamy when it became a state.  Some say that the police look the other way still in regards to polygamy in that state.

It's immoral wherever you go. Marriage is the only way.

Yes, it is legal, though "fornication and adultery" isn't. Also, you can't rent a hotel room with someone of the opposite sex for "immoral purposes" or pose as a husband and wife. All these laws have been ruled unconstitutional though, by cases such as Lawrence v. Texas.

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.

Just read the crap that people post on Yahoo answers...how would it make a difference?  Stop making up your own crap.  Yes prostitution is legal and actually the ages of the girls is even younger than 10. Overrun...stop being so dramatic.

no it should not be legalized. Marriage is between a man and a woman. What you want to be with someone of the same sex that is fine. But to get the same benefits that married men and women get is in my opinion not right. This is sending the wrong message to our children. It's in the bible" a man should not lay with another man ". That;'s gotta say something!
