Coming soon to a street near you
[QUOTE=CornPop;6103857]Seattle area has a very sex worker positive attitude and between the street walkers, stip clubs and the eye candy at the bikini coffee stands one never has to get a high end escort when traveling on business.[/QUOTE]As the economy implodes and budgets are cut, I predict the street scenes will get better as LE just doesn't have the resources to bust random girls and guys.
Why they waste any money on this anywhere is really beyond me. Providence already has a pro sex worker movement going on.
Political movements and activism
[QUOTE=HappyDave;6105113]Can you elaborate on the Providence scene. 10 to 20 years ago the spas were all over both Providence and Pawtucket. Now there appears to be only three well regarded spas. Smilers which did flip from a jack shack to FS, Angel's and Apple that has been FS forever. Downtown, One and countless others are long gone. Not that I pick up street walkers as my standard I'm more of an AMP guy but pickings there are slim. Boston does seem to heavily restrict spas with service to China town and street workers to NMS. Outside of Boston there are several Asian spa friendly towns Waltham, Watertown, Quincy to list a few.
But by comparison I would not compare Providence to be the next Nevada. That said if you know of some great spots there would love to know.[/QUOTE]I was referring more to the bills in state legislatures and political activism.

Now these bills may not have the votes and support. Yet. But remember about 10 years ago there were still archaic mandatory minimum sentencing laws for some person who was caught with weed. Some states still have them. Now many states have legal adult use and more are coming on board.
If you look at the trends on sex work, people are realizing that consensual acts should be decriminalized. The problem is the government and LE hide behind labeling most sex work 'trafficking' which if you ask me IS abhorrent. If a women is being forced into it AGAINST her will then yes that should be a crime. Thing is, most women I knew had regular jobs and liked sex so would do it on the side. Should consensual sex between two adults with gifts or payment be illegal? No. I bet a large portion of the population thinks so as well.
Nevada, California, NY, and it seems Seattle seem lax. I even read a recent article that a town in Vermont repealed a prostitution ordinance. Regarding Prov, notice how anything goes on in the strip clubs there. Dancers even blatantly advertise as escorts.
I'm of the opinion that more states and locales will do this. It will take time, but it is a complete waste of money busting two adults who want to have sex in whatever manner they choose.
There's another advantage that our geniuses in Washington and in local politics haven't realized. Legalizing sex work reduces male aggression. Why would some pissed off young guy go on a rampage when he could walk down the street and get a legal BJ? Most men wouldn't. Legalization and regulation would REDUCE violent crime.
