"American entrepreneur and brothel owner Dennis Hof makes an argument for decriminalizing prostitution. Special guest host Ana Kasparian of The Young Turks joins us as well!
Moonlite bunny ranch owner Dennis Hof legally operates a brothel in Nevada. With a strict screening process, safety precautions, security cameras, Dennis makes a case for taking the sex industry out of the dark and adding regulations to curb HIV transmission and sex trafficking.
Also, sex worker Ava Adora chimes in with her support of the industry and even refers to the brothel as simply "a singles bar with amazing odds."

This is a tough issue for me and certainly not an issue at the start of my day I was expecting to blog about. Because we are talking about a very dangerous business whether it is legal or not. And prostitution will always be a business in America illegal or otherwise.
Prostitution is not the oldest profession in the world for nothing. Dangerous business, but then you also have the side that I tend to fall down on as a Liberal that we are talking about what adults do with their own lives both personal and economic lives. Who should make that call the state meaning government or the individual.
I look at prostitution similar to how I look at illegal narcotics and gambling: how many people do we really want to arrest and lock up for what they do with their own personal lives. This is not a profession that is going to go away there will always be a market for it. That is just type of country we’ve always been and will always be and if anything it will just grow. Because again of how liberal and libertarian we are becoming as a country.
Again, I look at prostitution the way I look at gambling and marijuana.
1. Legalize it and then tax it and regulate it to make it as safe as possible. Regulate prostitution like alcohol. Twenty-one or over to work in the profession or be a customer in it.
2. Require workers and customers to be licensed by the state they work in.
3. Random medical tests for customers and workers to make sure they are healthy and not spreading diseases.
4. Tax profits made by workers and companies in this business. And tax the customers for what they pay for these services.
That is just how I view government that it is not the job for government to protect us from ourselves. But to protect innocent people from predators who would hurt us. And to make the activities that we choose in life as safe as possible through smart commonsense regulations.
