My Thoughts on this Issue
2 years ago
I am in no way thinking about or actually selling my body or renting anyone else’s, but that does not mean that I don’t think prostitution should be legal.
Legalizing prostitution would get the government out of people’s private business while allowing them to differentiate from licensed prostitutes to girls and women forced into the occupation. They could make prostitution a much safer job to do. Also they can license prostitutes, thus keeping track of them and testing them for STDs.
My body is too precious and sacred to me for me to lend it to just anyone, but I feel that this is a woman’s (/man’s?) choice to make about their body. There are tons of women that have casual sex with random creepy men without getting paid – how is this considered more legal/moral than getting money for it?
The government is not here to instill a moral code in the country’s citizens. The government is here to protect the citizens. Prostitutes don’t hurt people, but provide a service (however nasty). And we can make it much safer for everyone involved if we legalize it.

Last semester I had class really early in the morning two days a week and another two days a week my first class was in the afternoon. This made it really hard to have a regular sleeping schedule and so what I would do is stay up until 3 or 4 every night.
but this semester i made sure my schedule was more regular than that. now i have class at 10 so i can stay up a little bit and still get a fair amount of sleep, or i can go to sleep early without feeling ridiculous.
i feel a lot healthier because of it.
