In bordelurile londoneze se face sex neprotejat

Inca o data, una din afirmatiile sustinatorilor legalizarii prostitutiei – aceea ca in aceste stabilimente se face doar sex protejat si astfel se opreste raspandirea bolilor cu transmitere sexuala – se dovedeste un mit. La Londra, pentru 15 euro in plus, ai parte de un contact sexual neprotejat. Mai jos, o stire din “Ziua” si apoi articolul original, preluat de la BBC.

Sex ieftin la Londra

Ruxandra RADUS, Ziua, 5 septembrie 2008

Bordelurile londoneze ofera partide de sex pentru numai 18 euro si, la cerere, sex neprotejat, pentru care se percepe o taxa suplimentara de 15 euro, relateaza bbc.co.uk.

Un studiu efectuat de specialisti britanici a dezvaluit ca pretul unei partide de sex neprotejat in bordelurile londoneze este de cel mult 30 de euro. Casele de toleranta, care opereaza in special in spatiile rezidentiale, au preturi cuprinse intre 18 euro pentru sexul protejat si 78 de euro pentru prestarea de servicii complete (toate tipurile de sex).

Cercetatorii, pretinzand ca sunt interesati de oferta, au telefonat la 921 de bordeluri, care aveau reclame in ziarele locale. Ei au descoperit ca exista o medie de 28 bordeluri in fiecare dintre cele 33 de cartiere ale Londrei si ca, in fiecare an, acestea au venituri intre 61 si 150 milioane de euro.

Legile prostitutiei in San Francisco si in Suedia: Cine are dreptate?

Prostitution Laws in San Francisco and Sweden: Who Is Right?
By Brenda Zurita, Concerned Women for America

In 1999, Sweden passed a law prohibiting the purchase of sexual services but not the sale of them. The law also prohibits procuring, which means pimps and traffickers are arrested. Sweden believes that prostitution is a form of violence against women, and as such, they are going after the demand side of the equation and have been very successful. An absence of johns wanting to buy sex translates to no prostituted persons selling it.

In November 2008, the residents of San Francisco will vote on a different approach; they propose to decriminalize prostitution. The ballot measure states, “Law enforcement agencies shall not allocate any resources for the investigation and prosecution of prostitutes for prostitution.” It further says the funds should be reallocated to policies that reduce “institutional violence and discrimination against prostitutes.”

Sweden says prostitution is harmful to women, children, men and society, and as such, seeks to eradicate it in their country. They allocate their resources to arresting the johns, pimps and traffickers and providing access to employment programs, education, protection and support for prostituted persons so that they can leave that life.
