The State Of Sex : Tourism

It’s important to recognize these biases because there isn’t much press coverage about this industry and it usually errors on the melodramatic side. On the other hand, Barbara Brents the foremost expert on Nevada’s licensed brothels, has come to very different conclusions about the state’s most controversial industry. Brents is a professor of sociology at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) and she, along with her colleagues, has over 15 years of field research studying Nevada’s licensed brothels. Brents, the co-author of The State of Sex: Tourism, Sex, and Sin in the New American Heartland describes those brothels in a very practical and academic style. Brents says, “Sometimes I say I’m shedding light into a dark closet, a place nobody really knows what goes on inside. And then, when you shed the light, you find out that it’s not at all what you thought it was — it’s neither dangerous nor awful, nor is it as titillating.”

“Prostitution is one of the worlds oldest professions” (Kipling 1) and still has quiet a relevance in today’s society. However, unlike this primitive profession, a not-so-old debate is whether or not the United States should legalize prostitution. Prostitution is seen from many different viewpoints and although there is clear evidence of the damage that it puts on society, along with tarnishing the morals of Americans. Concerning America and its people, prostitution should not be legalized in any way.

Policies and laws fail to stop prostitution, and it will not stop. It is more costly to keep prostitution illegal. Prostitutes will be more vulnerable to getting criminal records, which then makes it harder for them in society, to obtain legal jobs. Also, with prostitution being illegal the workers may not be able to protect themselves from crimes against them. As prostitution is not legal, then they have to find discreet places to work, which usually is not in a safe environment. If some kind of crime against them did happen, they may feel that, they aren’t able to go to the police for help, as their work is illegal. It actually makes it harder on the worker, in turn making it harder for the client. There are all sorts of people who turn to prostitutes. From blue collar workers to high executives of companies, business owners and more. With prostitution being illegal, the clients are facing criminal charges as well. This does not only hurt the client, but communities as well. The author believes that people around the world have changed their older views and sexual norms to adapt to a more modern society. Brents, B.A., Jackson, C.A., & Hausbeck, K. (2010) concludes that prostitution is better being legalized than being criminalized (p.233). And with this change, people should reevaluate and learn from Nevada’s policies on prostitution being legal. While the author has shown many reasons why

Abstract: This paper explores the world’s oldest and most controversial occupation and puts forth a foundational plan for legalizing and regulating sex work in a safe way that satisfies both radical and liberal feminists ideals. To understand how prostitution has evolved to where it’s at today, this proposal travels through the history of prostitution in the United States (heavily focusing on the twentieth century.) Prostitutes were initially accepted and openly sought after. A shift in societal norms and values placed sex work in a heavy degradation. The regulation of prostitution in Nevada began in 1970 and resulted in the first licensed brothel in 1971. Fast forward nearly fifty years and prostitution is outlawed in 49 out of 50 states. Vast amounts of money are being spent annually in failed attempts to stop prostitution all together. Radical feminists are those who would identify as conservative. They are against prostitution on the belief that it victimizes and degrades women in poverty. Liberal feminists strongly agree that the government has no place in a women’s body and that the right to perform sex work is human right. This paper analyzes these different perspectives and incorporates a model that will resemble the current working regulation in Nevada. Stricter stipulations such as health requirements and the legal age should help influence radical feminist to expand their perspective and acceptance.

My paper will present the debatable question, should prostitution be legal in Las Vegas? As I argue for the issue, the reader must know that there is a misconceived idea that the city of sins, Las Vegas, is home to legal prostitution. In contrary to popular belief, prostitution is not legal in Las Vegas; there are rural areas in Nevada where brothels are running and prostitution is condoned, but in the county of Clark, it is the opposite. Although it may not be true, legalizing prostitution can bring Las Vegas and the people who work in such a profession multiple benefits. Any person who resides in this city of lights is aware of the busy streets that are filled with prostitution occurring even though the law is against it. Whether it 's the unkempt streetwalker or the high class escort, this seems to be a booming operation.

Walking down the strip of las vegas, you will find so much openness and free will to erotic and sexual culture it holds. In the city of sin, sex sells. A look into some of the neighborhoods in the Las Vegas area will show that what sex trafficking is. Even though Las Vegas has the image of being a sinful,sex driven city; does not mean that everything is cut out that way. This has led many tourist to believe that prostitution is legal within the city as well. Aside from the stigma vegas holds, only an hour away is the city Pahrump. Pahrump is a close-by

It is rather odd to think that prostitution, which is considered to be the world’s oldest profession, would be illegal and harmful in nature. The issue of legalizing prostitution has entered public conversation around the world, which is severely divided. Many, like myself, consider prostitution to be a victimless crime. Despite such opposition to legalizing prostitution, many argue that legalizing it would result in decreased morality issues, increase the economic activity in the United States, and help decrease the number of sexually transmitted diseases among both prostitutes and those who patronize them,

The world’s oldest profession, as they say, is under a great deal of scrutiny, especially from those in the U.S. In other countries, however, prostitution doesn’t carry the same negative connotation, as it does in the U.S. In Canada, The Netherlands, France, and many other countries, prostitution has been legal for some time now. Domestically, the counties surrounding Las Vegas are famous for being home to the only legal commercial fornication in the U.S. Still, to look at Nevada alone when discussing the subject would be to neglect the majority of prostitution that occurs in the US. Illegal sex work frequently takes place in the U.S., which is often accompanied with violent crimes.

Though it is expected that the expansion of the sex industry would be controlled by legislation, it actually does the opposite. “Legislation leads to massive expansion” (Sullivan & Jeffreys, 2001). For example in Victoria, Australia, from when it first legalized brothels 1984 until 2004, “sexual service providers” increased from 40 to 184, not counting the growth of illegal prostitution, which was estimated to be four to five times the size of the legal sector (Sullivan, 2005). Also, the demand for sex services grows rapidly after legalization. Many men who before legalization wouldn’t risk buying women, see it now as acceptable; as prostitution becomes legal, treating women as merchandise also becomes ethical and socially acceptable. There is also an impact on the future generations of men and boys; they will now receive the message that prostitution is harmless and fun. Businessmen are now encouraged to carry out meetings in clubs where they provide naked women laying on the center of the table (Raymond, 2003).

Human trafficking and sex slavery have gotten much more worse globally as time went by. Buying a female’s sexual services is becoming more common and acceptable everyday. Especially in the state of Nevada where brothels are legal, and in Las Vegas where prostitution is a booming business in the underground world. In the two films, “Demand,” and “The Journey,” four main significant issues can be drawn based on human trafficking and sex slavery. The first point is clearly holding women against their will. Some females need the money that bad to care for families. Many strippers or prostitutes have children and need to supply for them. Especially when women don’t have an education, they turn to selling their bodies to make up for it. Women are

Sex tourism examines the issues that emerge from a sex worker (prostitute) and tourist (farang/customer) interactions. Sex Tourism is progressively spreading and it is now a worldwide subject matter that every country can relate to some way or the other. Sex tourism it has been around for decades and it has grown more widespread. This industry is very well understood by the tourist. It is not formally publicized; it is rather through informal exchanges, word of mouth and internet, that the farang gets to know who to see and where to go. In Thailand sex tourism is a main source of income for many rural families. These families are poor and the fact that the state of the economy of the country is bad it makes the situation worse. In this analytical essay, I will argue the cause and origin of prostitution as a result of the Current economic status in Thailand.

When looking at the issue of prostitution in Spain and the shear amount of people that are taken advantage of on a daily basis, whether it be sexually or not, it becomes vital to determine the cause. In exploring the booming prostitution industry in Spain the question is why is it so large? What are the reasons behind the growing number of prostitutes and brothels in this country? Are these rates due to economic, political, or cultural implications? The answer is yes, all of those aspects (economics, political, and cultural) play a role in the increasing number of prostitutes and brothel clientele in Spain. With the economy suffering greatly, many people are lefts with no money and on the streets, as a result prostitution may be the easiest route for economic mobility. That combined with the relatively new and simplified laws allowing divorce has created a new market of clientele on the hunt for sexual satisfaction. On top of it all, Spain has a cultural acceptance of the man stepping into a machismo role in relationships. By accepting machismo, men hold the power dynamic in relationships, and this can further be linked to acceptance of men abusing and sexually exploiting women. Finally, and most importantly, Spain has become a hot destination for sex tourism. Therefore sex trafficking into Spain and the exploitation of immigrants has become an issue that is

SEX TOURISM Nowaday leisure and tourism is as one of getting from our daily routine Most of tourist feel bored and tried of their routine life, so they want to escape themselves from these because their job and duties have become a barrier to joyful feeling . But in the tourism industry a dark sector raise called Sex Tourist. Who will have thought that sex is the one of the various types of tourism that exits in our planet or not that answer is yes because many industry gain benefits multibillion dollar from sex industry , moreover other industry such airline, restaurant and hotel also gain benefits from Sex Tourism.Travelling for sexual activities is the one of kind of leisure activities are drawn toward.

Prostitution has been around as long as human beings have engaged in sexual activities, and it is even touted as the world’s oldest profession. Despite these proclamations, the subject of prostitution continues to spark controversy in the United States in moderns times as it is a hot debate topic. Off and on, throughout the years, various states around the country have proposed that the practice should be decriminalized; however, it remains illegal nationwide, except for a few counties in Nevada. The reasons for this stem from both sides of the argument, as anti-prostitution advocates claim decriminalization of prostitution is immoral and sexually exploitative, while pro-prostitution advocates want to keep the government out of the bedrooms of consenting adults. No matter the stance for or against prostitution, the current legal construction surrounding it is undeniably harmful. Regardless of the arguments against prostitutes, it is time to decriminalize the laws against this practice to protect the rights of sex workers.
