      Just because you criminalize something, doesn’t mean you stop it from happeneing.

      inb4 patrons will need to buy „gifts“ which happen to be priced exactly like the services did and give it to the sex workers, who in turn provide sex and then later „sell“ the gift for the same amount of money. Hey, nobody paid for the sex itself, it was all perfectly legal!

      If pachinko parlors figured it out how to avoid anti-gambling laws, no way brothels won’t avoid this one.

      To my understanding after reading, their focus is on street workers and solicitation, focusing on the discrepancy on how there’s only punishment/fines for the s.workers, not the customer. Surprising that the customer isnt fined… Which is what they are addressing. Nothing about closed door establishments or health delivery… Which is more the focus on *Shinjuku*

      Criminalizing prostitution is exactly why illegal sex trafficking is booming.

      When I was in japan they called em social clubs or something. Since none of us could speak Japanese, we weren’t allowed to socialize with the girls. But then again we also got refused entry to a bar for being white, so maybe it was racism.

      this is just a symbolic law. no way they’re going to actually enforce it.

      Prostitution is the oldest job in the world.

      Why would you criminalize that.

      Just decriminalize it ffs. If they’re not kidnapped or children just pinch your nose,  collect your tax money, and look away.

      Increasing the prices (that money isn’t going to people providing the services), while simultaneously making it less safe for everyone involved, interesting move.

      Its only illegal if you don’t film it. You can film it, and call it porn, then its gonna be 100% legal.

      Wasn’t this already a thing? That’s why Soap Land exists. You are paying for a bath technically

      Selling is legal.
      Fucking is legal.
      Why isn’t selling fucking legal?

      I thought that paying for vaginal sex was illegal already. Not that I found that out the hard way or anything …

      Criminalizing sex work does nothing but harm sex workers. It does not stop sex work because it doesn’t fix the systemic issues that cause people to turn to sex work. Criminalizing sex work creates a cycle of financial punishment on an already impoverished demographic and adds a criminal record to their difficulties of finding well paying employment outside of the sex work industry. This reduces any chance they had of leaving the industry instead of acting as a motivator. It also can cause sex workers to make riskier decisions during work because they have less time to gauge their own personal safety when they’re afraid of being arrested or losing the only client they’ve had for the day. Also, criminalizing sex work often creates laws that punish sex workers for working together by calling a work place or home with two or more sex workers a brothel. This removes even more control and safety from the sex workers hands.

      In relation to sex work, we often hear the question, “how can we stop our daughters from becoming sex workers?” I think we should reframe the question as, “if my daughter was a sex worker, how would I want her to be treated?”

      Congrats to japan for creating a new black marked. Instead of regulated you now get more trafficked persons to „sell“ their bodies.

      I wonder if this is designed to combat the birth rate. Perhaps they think by not allowing sex workers dudes will actually try to find a woman they can marry and sleep with on the regular. Perhaps they should try not working people to death and they can have time to try dating.

      Then this will further feed in to black market. Drugs and Sex should be legalised and regulated to really have a chance to minimise and focus on trafficking.

      The government subsidizing the sex workers is super progressive! Way to go Japan!
