Prostitution-Related Videos (and Strip Clubs)

These are videos about prostitution and prostituted women, girls, and children. Pornography is nothing more than filmed prostitution, and often the two are interconnected, with those who are prostituted in the usual manner being used for pornography, and those who are pornography performers sometimes engaging in typical prostitution on the side. -------------- 10 Reasons for Not Legalizing Prostitution By Janice G. Raymond 1. Legalization/decriminalization of prostitution is a gift to pimps, traffickers and the sex industry. 2. Legalization/decriminalization of prostitution and the sex industry promotes sex trafficking. 3. Legalization/decriminalization of prostitution does not control the sex industry. It expands it. 4. Legalization/decriminalization of prostitution increases clandestine, hidden, illegal and street prostitution. 5. Legalization of prostitution and decriminalization of the sex Industry increases child prostitution. 6. Legalization/decriminalization of prostitution does not protect the women in prostitution. 7. Legalization/decriminalization of prostitution increases the demand for prostitution. It boosts the motivation of men to buy women for sex in a much wider and more permissible range of socially acceptable settings. 8. Legalization/decriminalization of prostitution does not promote women's health. 9. Legalization/decriminalization of prostitution does not enhance women's choice. 10. Women in systems of Prostitution do not want the sex industry legalized or decriminalized.

It is in favor of laws like Sweden has: only criminalizing the john, not the prostitute. See: "Sweden's Prostitution Solution: Why Hasn't Anyone Tried This Before?" http://www.justicewomen.com/cj_sweden.html "What prostituted women must endure in their "employment" is, what in other contexts, would be the accepted definition of sexual harassment and sexual abuse in the workplace -- "employer" behavior that is unwanted and insulting, and unwelcome sexual attention, violence, and conduct that is offensive and threatening. What then happens to women in prostitution whose very "job" -- if we term it "commercial sex work" -- constitutes, what in any other "workplace," would be defined as sexual harassment and abuse? It is the exchange of money in prostitution that serves to transform what is actually sexual harassment, sexual abuse, and sexual violence into a "job" known as "commercial sex work," a "job" performed primarily by racially and economically disadvantaged women in the so-called first and third worlds, and by overwhelming numbers of women and children who have been the victims of childhood sexual abuse."
