Would the STD rate...

[??????????]

[opebo]

Good poll States, however I don't think it would change much at all.  In the first place the only changes I would make would be to the professional aspect of sex, which is a small part of sex overall, and much more likely to be 'safe' sex.

Why the arbitrary enforcement of 'safe' (ie, Russian "galoshes") sex? You know fully well that you are infringing on the freedom of a john with that arbitrary diminution of his pleasure

Obviously that sort of decision is up to the two parties involved.  No one else should enforce anything upon them.  However it is quite likely that she would make certain safety precautions a requirement of the deal.  Maybe exceptions for regulars, who knows.  Interestingly when it comes to paid sex, a rather high percentage of it is actually just oral sex or hand jobs, not full sex, both for safety and 'intimacy' reasons.  In any case, legalization would not reduce the use of safety precautions, though admittedly it would probably increase the frequency of paid  sex.

No, you'd have to be a moron to actually think some silly little sex laws prevent people from doing what they want.  If anything opebo will actually expose kids to sex and a younger age (11-12) when they should be able to understand it, understand the rewards and consequences, and without a sexually repressive state like the US is now, sex wont be a popular form of rebelling like it is now.

..... expose kids to sex and a younger age (11-12)

Couldn't have said it better myself! John Couey, Jr would love that!

Quite possibly.  But in Opeboland his victim would probably not have been raped or murdered.  Couey would've been sated by a prostitute long before.

Educate them dude.  Most kids at that age don't even have a sexual drive.  You just keep your culture of "potty-mouths" and "sex is evil" and you see what happens to your family.  The South has more teenage pregnancy and illegitimate births than any other region by FAR.  You shield rather than just let it out and be open and you get what you ask for.

How misinformed you are.  Kids at age 11 aren't ready for sex and don't need a sex drive at that age. So far, you and opebo are the only ones I've seen come out to advocate making sex with 11 year olds legal.  Being in company with a pedophile is real cool.

Sex is not something to be taken "lightly". You act as if sex is just something someone should do everyday w/out taking into account any consequences.

I'm not sure what you mean by 'need' a sex drive, but the point is they have one.

Certainly masturbation is something someone can do everyday without taking into account any consequences.

Opebo, that was responding to TakeOurCountryBack's comments that kids that age don't even have a sex drive.

I'm pretty sure he was being sarcastic.. or possibly making the point that people should be educated before their hormones kick in? Please comment, TakeOurCountryBack.

[minionofmidas]

I think he was just saying that many kids his age  around to shock their parents rather than because they need sex.
Which may well be true.
Anyways, Jacob, you've overlooked me.

Kids shouldn't be having sex at that age IMO but they certainly should be educated about it.  People with a real understanding of sex will make better choices.  At 11 I found out what sex was, and I'm 17 now and still a virgin because I decide to just wait for the right time, so don't act like educating 6th graders about sex is the end of the world or that I'm a pedophile. 

Exactly when did I say I was a pedophile Jake?  I just think people should learn about it rather than us living in this "sex is evil" fantasy world conservatives love so much.

He's right.   The religious right have an extreme hatred of sex, though to some extent this is a problem with American society as a whole.

The pedophile remark. Whether he is or not, I never called him one.

Hah!  This comparison certainly shows your puritanism.  Relating sex to rotting meat and worms - very telling!

I am not certain what he meant by saying stds don't come from sex, but I believe he meant to remind us that sex in and of itself is harmless.  For example if two people who have no STDs have sex, none arise spontaneously from the sin.  It is only when one party has an std and another does not that transmission takes place.
