Should prostitution be legal?

I think it should. Sex shouldn’t be a punishable offence. If people want to go and have sex with prostitutes, why the fuck shouldn’t they be allowed to? It’s their body. Modern day Britain is fairly liberal in terms of social attitudes. Gay marriage is legalized; prior to the 60s […]
