There would still be an element that would make sexual services available on the black market, but I think that decriminalisation or legalisation would vastly improve matters overall. Customers would then be foolish to use a non regulated prostitute as they would be exposing themselves to risks such as blackmail, diseases etc.
I wonder if you could sell this to Theresa May? I think most can see the common sense in such a solution but there are too many politicians in the political parties who just can't bring themselves to agree with the principle! However, if TM promoted this, it would be interesting to see the reaction in Parliament. I think she would be doing a great service to women if she were brave enough.

I don't think you are actually including the prostitutes themselves in that, Mr K! I think they would appreciate working in a safer environment.
