Why prostitution must not be legalized in India?

Today I am re posting my facebook note which I wrote on March 9, 2012

Recently I read an article by Sapna Khanna in “HT Shoppers” which talks about advantages of legalizing prostitution in India.  She claims that sex crimes will be stopped by legalizing prostitution. She thinks that she knows about the subject and she should share her knowledge with world but she is actually sharing her ignorance and stupidity with the world.

Sapna Khanna claims to know about effects of prostitution worldwide and claims that cities where prostitution is legalized sexual crimes are low. It is not true, actually sexual crimes are higher in the cities where prostitution is legalized.  It clearly shows she don't know about real effects of legalizing prostitution.

Let me give you real picture of legalized prostitution:

1.) Once prostitution is legalized, cars will stop seeing any beautiful girl walking on the road and some person will get out of the car and offer a high paying job in his brothel.

2.) Big corporate houses will invest in Brothels and all beautiful women working as receptionist, Human resources, Finances will be harassed to force them to leave their jobs to provide quality manpower to brothel industry.

3.) Government promotes prostitution with help of police because it gets good money as tax from this industry. Any resistance shown by local communities against setting up a brothel will be dealt strictly. Many people who oppose brothel will be put behind bars.

4.) There will be hording of brothels put on all major roads; Advertisements of brothel will be put on taxis plying in the city. This is the scene in all the cities where prostitution is legalized.

5.) Consensual sexual relationship between boys and girls will suffer because girls will be satisfying their sexual needs in brothels serving older and richer guys. Young men will not have access to sex because they can’t pay charges plus entertainment tax of brothel. It will lead to sexual frustration and these men will take up crimes like burglary, murder, kidnap etc. to get money for brothel.  These men would have satisfied their sexual need from girls as girlfriends who would have not be working as prostitutes in brothels had prostitution not been legalized.

6.) Legalizing prostitution will make basic necessity like sex unaffordable and people will have to pay for something like sex which they should get for free.

7.) Government and Big corporates will make money by exploiting both prostitutes and their customers.  Customers will be charged high fee for sex and prostitutes will be charged high rent for space used by prostitutes for providing sexual service.  Countries where prostitution is legalized there are cases where prostitute accumulate so much debt to brothel because of room rent that she need to file for bankruptcy. Effectively customer loses money and prostitutes also lose money. Young boys are sexually frustrated.

8.) Boys know that girls in their city are working as prostitutes and not entertaining their advances because they want them to pay for sex.  These boys who don’t have money will resort to either rape or some other crimes like robbery to satisfy their sexual needs.

9.) World over in cities where prostitution is legalized. There is high crime rates in these cities because people make money by crime to satisfy their fundamental need of sex which is available in brothels only.

It is like British government imposing tax on salt the basic need of people. Some people who used to produce salt will produce it as usual and people who used to consume salt will consume it as usual but government will make money and people will be poorer. Same thing is with legalizing prostitution and taxing it.
