Legal Sex Workers As Happy As Women In Other Jobs.

Legal prostitutes are just as happy as women in regular jobs, according to a survey that reports high job satisfaction in parts of the sex industry.

But illegal workers who sell sex on the streets had a much grimmer outlook, with half saying they had been raped or bashed in the past year.

The survey compared the mental and physical health of nearly 250 Queensland prostitutes aged 18 to 57 who worked in registered brothels, at home or on the street.

Legal workers reported similar job satisfaction to women in the general community, but streetworkers were far less happy in the job.

"The general picture is that those women whose families know about their work reported greater job satisfaction than those who kept their work secret," said researcher Charlotte Seib.

***** No country in the world has even remotely succeeded in stamping out prostitution. As long as there are men, that would be a futile effort. Countries like Malaysia, typical hypocrites, while publicly despising and frowning upon sex workers and declaring their profession illegal, privately close both eyes to what can reasonably be termed as a booming industry. However some countries have seen the need to accept reality and legalize prostitution thereby allowing health requirements and standards to be introduced, practiced and maintained.

It may surprise many that a considerable number of these legal sex workers are well educated, have happy families and homes like the rest of the population and as mentioned earlier have a great deal of job satisfaction and are at considerably lower risk than the 'street-worker.' Perhaps there is a need to legalize prostitution in our country at least as a health precaution.
