Well, I'll hazard a guess and say its because going to a sex ed class isn't illegal. Give the republican's a couple more years

I gather that prostitution is illegal in the states? Well, if their 'hands on experience' really was 'fully' hands-on, its not illegal because they're not paying each other.

Thanks for the story anyway Krunchy, thought it was damn funny. And anything which teaches proper condom use etc and disease prevention is fine by me...

Besides the fact that putting them in jail is a waste of space and money, jail is easy to avoid for most pros.

As for why are they still in business? ...simple! There is ample demand for what they supply and no amount of prohibition or governemnt intrusion has or will stop that.

Because they are not committing any crimes.

Well considering their clientelle, wouldn't it be easy to put the people that go to those classes under surveillance, then nab them while they... use their education?

You do realise that the dark ages are behind us, no ? Where i live it's a completely legit profession, the hookers pay taxes like anyone else. It's just a job, not a criminal offense. Wake up and say hello to the modern world dude.

Why the hell should I? Is it not enough that prostitution exists, but is tolerated? It is < a href="http://crime.about.com/od/prostitution/a/prostitution.htm"> not a victimless crime, immoral. Why should one be proud of degrading him/herself, and why is it so accepted?

The only reason it's not a victimless crime is *because* prostitution is illegal. Were it legal, a prostitute would be able to go to the police if she had an abusive pimp or client.
