This 'doubling' was simply made up by anti-legalisation advocates here and have no basis in fact. The <a href="http://www.justice.govt.nz/policy-and-consultation/legislation/prostitution-law-review-committee/publications/impact-health-safety" Otago University Study</a> found numbers of sex workers held steady after decriminilisation - there was NO significant increase.

She found prostitution far more enjoyable than teaching, she also found that older more religious clients treated her the worst- not that she took any crap, but in terms of their attitude.

Regulation worries me because that would likely take the control out of women's hands (check out Nevada), but I am fully in favor of legalization and destigmatization.

I agree with the points you've made. This incessant need to frame all prostitution as dirty, degrading, etc. is ridiculous. ;-) Excellent work. I agree with the points you’ve made.
