ORIGINAL: Stephann For those who poo pooed the issue on legal grounds, I can honestly say I'd much prefer being arrested for prostitution than for assualt. The games we usually play? They ain't legal folks, no matter how much we think they should be. The holier than-thou-attitudes were supposed to be left in the closet when y'all came out. There's far greater physical risk from a 'bad Dom' than there is from an ordinary john. In terms of a one-on-one BDSM relationship, only two people are involved in what is going on. When prositution is involved many people are involved, even complete strangers. Now, sure there's ordinary John, but is he really? Mmmm... could be an undercover police officer. Perhaps there's another ordinary John, he's not really mentally stable, he end up flipping out and beating the sub/slave 1/2 to death. She goes to the hospital, the police are involved, John the menatlly not so stable gets arrested and confesses to everything. You're busted. Now with a trusting mutal D/s one-on-one relationship, one is not a great risk of getting busted at home in private. Ok think of it like this, some dude that sits at home smoke pot in private. He grows a small amount of it hidden compartment in his basement, and never buys it from a dealer. Now, what if he were to get out on the streets and start selling the pot he grows for profit? He would be exposing himself to more and more people everyday, thus increasing the statistical Odds of him being arrested. It's only a matter of time before he attracts the attention of law enforcement, and he becomes watched, followed or otherwise observed. I think I am making a fair and logical comparison. yes, I'm staying focused solely upon the legal issue at hand. Let's say some Domly Master, forces his slave into prostition. He's just uped the list of possiable multicharges that could be filed against him. Sure you said you rather be busted for prostition then for assault. How about having both of them charged against you at the same time, seems a bit like a two for one special or more that could on. Oh wait, the slave decides now is the time to up and leave you and tells the police you were forcing her. Perhaps some other charges such as "human traffiking", "kidnapping", "unlawful imprisonment" and whatever else the D.A. finds on the books to throw at you. I think at this point and time, I'd be praying to God it had been just a simple assault charge. I don't know, perhaps I'm really not very intelligent or bright or something. Perhaps I have my own head shoved up a Holier-than-thou place. Strange, I don't feel all that holy about it. I thought I was using my brain and common sense and logical thinking skills. In terms of Bad Doms, some of them will get busted by the law, just like the ordinary johns cruising the streets looking for prostitutes do. Not every body get's busted all the time. However, the more you play this game, the higher the odd and the stakes are. I've not tried to intermix any other sub-topic into this point. Be it moral, health or other. I don't think I'm too far off base on the things I have just expressed. Now there are places in the world such as Amsterdamn, where the laws are different. Nevada, has some laws that allow for prositution, however there a legal guidelines that need to be still followed to my understanding. Some places on this earth, it is legal, and others it is not. Same with Gambling, you can do that in Nevada too. It's legal there after all. But I'm not into gambling when the odds involve being arrested having possible multple charges brought against me, and spending time behind bars. I suppose if I had some twisted desire for spending time in a jail cell, and wanted to develop and enhance a criminal record, well I might be doing things to intentional increase my odds of that happening. Perhaps, I am missing something. Perhaps, my logic and thinking have failed me. I don't think it is has.
