Suppose that prostitution was legalized in the US...

Considering the intimacy of sex, I think that the sex workers should be able to refuse anyone they don't wish to be with. My view on this doesn't have anything to do with race specifically, though.

What's the status of it in Nevada?

This perfectly goes to show why the "prostitution is just a job like any other!!!!!!!!!!!" argument is so inane.

I did a little research and found that Nevada doesn't seem to have regulations relevant to discriminatory practices:

Further, it's not clear federal non-discrimination statutes would cover this kind of 'service.' Given the nature of the business, probably not.

sure, why not?  If I'm a lawyer I can discriminate on the basis of how likely I am to win a case.  If I don't think it'll win, I might suggest that you take your business elsewhere.  It seems germane to the that particularly occupation.  Similarly, if I'm into mercenary love, I should be able to discriminate on the basis of size, shape, color, and smell of the organ that I'm considering enveloping.  Now, I might be hard up for cash at times and welcome all comers, but in good times I can afford to be picky.

Name me one woman aside from his current gf that wouldn't tell Bushie to go away, because he's a heavy smelly fat.  Agree?  Then you favor discrimination.

[Mopsus]

Pornographic actresses already do (see: "Hell of a Life" by Kanye West).

What about sexual discrimination? Can they refuse male or female clients soley based on the sex of the client?

[Redefeatbush04]

I feel that businesses have the right to deny service to anyone they wish so long as it is not reasonably considered an essential service within modern society (food, shelter, transportation, etc)

[tik 🪀✨]

it's obviously okay for an individual to refuse to have sex for any reason but how about maybe it's also not cool to have a big double-entendre sign out the front of your brothel that says "NO ASIANS MAY ENTER"

this is getting complicated very quickly

[vanguard96]

Anyone who would tell a woman whom she must have sex with is either a rapist or a pimp.

Why do you assume gender with prostitution?

There are tons of personal ads that say no blacks or something like no fat people. And they already split into women, trans, and male escorts too for certain clients.

Free association involves choices that are personal and can include many aspects (age, height, income status, occupation, appearance, etc)

[Dr. MB]

Yes because sex work is well, different... than other jobs.
