I would totally do that! Nonchalantly of course.

Sounds like the sentiments of a former working girl...

Trust me, there's worse out there. For example the Twilight author.

Unless it interferes with OP's life, there's nothing really to worry about.

Lol I don't see how it interferes. She lives above her. In quite irony I should say also that she is above her in a metaphoric way. The day one of the prostitutes clients come and advance on her is the day it interferes.

Well, OP may also hear all kinds of noises, including screaming and moaning; I would call it interference as well.

Lol come on like we all haven't made some noise. I try not to judge other people's space. Unless the noises are that of violence then it's none of my concern.

#53-Of course, it's going to interfere! OP will have to put up with the noise from patrons, with the noise from the apartment, possibly with used condoms being strewn in the common areas or sidewalks, with patrons hassling her (assuming OP is a her) as she walks to and from her apartment during "business hours". Besides, would you want to live upstairs from a prostitution ring? Call the damn cops, OP.

In this day and age you probably do live near one. There are ***** houses even in the nicest of areas. I'm not saying not to do something I'm just saying there are more trivial things in life to worry about then other people selling themselves.

79- I can be wrong but I think you mean there are more important things to worry about. Trivial means something having very little importance or value.

OP's apartment may be big and really nice. So there's a chance OP has or wants kids. If so, you wouldn't want your children anywhere near this. When I lived with my mother we lived in an apartment and we had a downstairs neighbor kinda like this. Our apartment was huge ( it had 4 bedrooms) so clearly there IS a possibility.

That's exactly what I mean. To focus on others faults when you have your own is silly to me. There are less important things people need to worry about in their lives then to turn around and focus on someone else's problem.

Because many of those girls aren't doing if out of free will, but threatened to do so. Because of the STDs they might get. Because many girls get PTSD from it and never recover enough to get a proper job. All in all, women deserve a better life than being used by the misogynist pigs that control them. When sex is free its usually because the woman has consented to it, unless it's just pure rape.

31, as long as they aren't forced into it. That's important point.

34, As long as there's demand, there will be an offer. You're too quick to blame misogyny for everything. There are female pimps and male prostitutes, you know. Also nobody "deserves" anything. People choose their own path. I believe that as long as people aren't forced into particular choice, they can be whatever they decided to be.

I wasn't referring to situations where a girl is coerced. That breaks a few other laws and morality issues. But I don't see why exchanging money (or other things of value) for sex is illegal in and of itself. Personally, paying for sex would take all the spontaneity and fun out of it, but for some people it's a win win. They get off, and the girl pays her bills. So why is THAT illegal?

And it's worth noting, you don't have to be a prostitute to contract and STD.

65, that's purely moral issue. Moral values vary across countries, they are based on tradition, and frequently make no sense. Sometimes, law is based on most popular moral values. For example, in some countries pornography is illegal. In some other countries prostitution is legal. If you're in USA, then wikipedia says that prostitution is legal in some counties of Nevada, but I do not know whether this is true or not.

Exactly. And if you think about it, you almost always pay for it. It's never really free. If you go on a date, you buy dinner, drinks, etc and you may get lucky. If you're married, you buy jewelry, spend time, etc. So you always pay for it in some way or another. And besides, it's the oldest profession in the world. As long as no one is being forced, it should be all good.

65 How are they to decide when or when it's not coerced. The victims might be black mailed or threatened if they don't keep their mouths shut about it. It's illegal and rightfullly so.
