you'd need to start from new then mate-the women(and guys)who are out selling themselves at the moment due to their drug habits would not stop walking the streets looking for punters just because its legal-they wouldn't fit the medical requirements of the new established bang houses so as normal it would go underground/back street and put them at even more risk-i speak to girls who have been doing it for years, oldest is mid 50's, been selling herself since late teens, sees it as her job-nothing is gonna change

Aberdeen used to have a legalised/tolerated red-light district.

Here's the article on when they changed it to make it illegal.

I used to live in Kings Cross. We had 4 girls who worked out street in shifts - regardless of the weather or time of day. I'd rather they were able to work from home and got proper medical checks.

Vice Squad stopped me one evening while I was sat in a colleagues car outside my flat after a gig because they thought I was a working girl and him a punter! After I showed them my house keys and business cards - which did not say High Class Prozzie on them - I was allowed to go home. Of course by the time I got into work the next day he's told everyone that I got mistaken for a hooker!

Very naive me ,always thought "Kerb Crawling" was the way I come home from the pub on my hands and knees and never had much use for a woman when in that state

What's to stop them doing that now? They can get checked on the nhs if they desire.
Agree with husky , doubt it'd change much.

Porn Industry have strict regulations and you must have certificates to prove everything and any doubt and your out and that could mean end of career. ITs accepted as part of it and it does seem to be widely accepted
I'm a yes - brothels these days are no better than the street corner as they don't have any standards to come up to. They are kept dark in some place so you can't see the wounds inflicted on them either by Mama or the pimp. Meant to be safe house for the girls but they are not.
sooner legislation comes out it will be better but not for a while it will create extra work on top of al ready stretched resources
The workers will be less likely subjected to assualts and unfavourable work pratices, there would untold increase in health benefits( needle exchanges, drug rehab, child care, mental health issues) as well as the much need support that the girls don't get due to the stigma attached to it.
the revenue that MAY be generated you will find that many places will probably still run cash becuase of the type of service being offered.
but better surrounding, less llikely to be busted, better workers all equals a better product

Had the same been - picked up after a burly performance and ran out to get some money with just a coat over me. Think they were more concerned than anything as all i had was a bank card - no phone no nothing. though it was an interesting conversation at the side of the road

Don't know
Having seen the girls working the streets in Hamburg in the legal part you'd think it was sorted, but there's still girls working on their own outside of the legal areas.
It may have saved some of the girls murdered by Steve Wright in my home town, if they'd been working in a regulated place, but even in the middle of the murders they were still going out working because they were so desperate for their fix.

If they'd been stopped working in a regulated place, because they'd fail a health check, they'd have still gone out working for their drug money
