-Street Walker -Whore -Slut -Hooker -prostitute
-Hoe -Skank -Tramp -Call Girl -sex worker

all essentially refering to thoose who exchamge sex for anything of their choice, commonly money but not solely limited to money. according to dictionary.com

prostitute is a term available to us since "1520s, meaning 'to offer to indiscriminate sexual intercourse (usually in exchange for money),'"

or according to urbandictionary.com
"prostitute: A women who sells her body to a variety of creeps, low-lifes and degenerates. The majority of her wages goes directly to her abusive scumbag pimp who takes pride in the fact that he arranges for her to be degraded at the expense of scum."

But who, if anybody, is really qualified to label, describe, or limit a life style if not a the person themself. By legalizing Prostitution we can closely regulate the sex work industry while enhancing their working conditions.

An article in the US National Library of Medicine assures that there are "At least 25 types of sex work were identified" most of which the law is not trying to stop, they turn the other way and dont protect the forced sex workers.

But even if they did, have you ever wondered what will happen to thoose who willingly sell their bodies to others?

wont they just continue doing it, and who are we to stop them?

in order to prevent people from being forced into sex work we have to work alongside sex industries to help and regulate the unknown world of prostitution.

according to CNN.com
"experts estimate 1 million to 2 million prostitutes work in the United States" from which "FBI's 2007 Uniform Crime Report lists (only) about 78,000 arrests for prostitution"

if a world wide known goverment agencie design to investigate and stop the violations of federal laws has not made an impact in stoping sex work then why not find an alternative to simply get rid of the negative 'side effects' of sex work.

3 common side effects are:
-crime/rape

    I am writing in response to your request that I analyze Stewart Brand's “The Case for De-Extinction: Why We Should Bring Back the Woolly Mammoth” and make a recommendation for or against publication in The Shorthorn. I have considered the rhetorical appeals of Brand’s piece and determined that a large majority of students would find this to be unappealing due to the large amount of Christians, Catholics, Muslims, and other religious groups on campus, so therefore, it should not be published. This topic is very controversial and most likely will not persuade the UTA community in agreeing with Brand’'s viewpoints.…

    When you hear the word prostitution what kind of image pops up in your mind? Is it a malnourished drug addicted woman? A woman possibly controlled by a pimp? When you hear prostitution, do you think of someone forced against their will? I wanted to know what you all thought before I told you the definition.

    The first chapter is about how a street prostitute is like a department store santa. The authors bring out some interesting observations of the data gathered by Sudhir Venkatesh. Their conclusions tell that prewar prostitutes were earning far more than current street prostitutes and one of the reasons could be the rise of premarital sex. Then they analyze the economics of prostitution in Chicago. Street prostitutes earn about $25-$30 per hour, which is three to four times more than minimum wage jobs. But their higher wage is compensated with the substantial risk they encounter. Data shows that prostitutes are better off if they have a pimp because they provide protection and pay competent wages. Condoms are only used 25% of the time, and the discount for using one is small. Evidence shows that more prostitutes join the profession around the 4th of July, because of a demand increase and prostitutes can charge more. Although punishment for prostitution is relatively small, it is more likely for prostitute to have sex with a police officer…

This “profession” has existed since the beginning of time, and as of now there are currently forty-two million prostitutes in the world, with one million being in the United States.

    Prostitution is one of th oldest trades known to man and even at the present time, while it is illegal in most areas of the United States, it is still employing many women and is solicited by even more men. Prostitution should be decriminalized because we are paying too high a financial and social cost for the ineffective enforcement of laws against it. The money and the law enforcement personnel freed by legalizing prostitution could be better spent if used to protect citizens against violent crimes. Prostitution has not always been a crime and there are still a few communities in the West, particularly in Nevada, where houses of prostitution operate as legal businesses.…

    One of the oldest legal problems comes from one of the world 's oldest profession, prostitution; there is no denying that the sex industry has been an international work force and some believe it has helped the economy for many countries. As countries around the world deliberate the characteristics of legalizing or at least decriminalizing prostitution. By legalizing or decriminalizing would this reduce some of the inequalities and abuse suffered by the women involved? On the other hand, by legitimizing prostitution, would society reverse decades of work to promote human rights and help women become more involved in society? One might say, this is just is just…
