The Purpose of this site is share information and encourage coalitions to
form all over America to present to city councils, legislatures and voters
the arguments showing why decriminalization of private adult prostitution
and related sex work is a benefit to the community and why there is no legitimate
reason for the current private prostitution laws.
This Coalition Cyber Center is only about changing the laws
While most all Western and many other countries have more reasonable laws
regarding sexual pleasure, in the U.S. we are faced with moralists imposing
their values on other people. If they can't reach us by knocking on our
doors and preaching, then they will instead enact laws to prevent us from
doing what they secretly wish they could. We oppose laws that violate our
freedom as consenting adults to in private share intimacy and pleasure.
It is long overdue for private consenting adult prostitution to be decriminalized
in the U.S. There are millions of sexworkers in the U.S. who enjoy their
profession and the largest risk is not bad clients, not STD's since most
insist on safe sex, but the law enforcement stings wasting resources on
morality crimes with no victims.
Prostitution fills a vital role in our society by addressing the sexual
and emotional needs of men and women, and by providing high paying employment
options to women and men who wish to provide sexual services.
People in a free society have the right to work in their chosen profession,
and to do with their own bodies as they so choose. Likewise, all citizens
have the right to engage in consensual adult sexual contact.
Criminalization of private adult prostitution is wrong. Almost all the rest
of the world realizes this, and the U.S. is one of the few countries were
private sexwork is illegal.
What countries have legal prostitution?
Most all except the U.S. - See link for details

I have also consolidated some of the best recent articles for fighting the

U.S. on this Air America Page. There are zillions more articles below but
many of them are older and I have taken the opportunity with the Air America
interview to consolidate some of the "best" to use with the public on the

public nuisance street hookers, and pimps HAVE NOTHING TO DO with Private
Consenting Adult sexwork - GET IT! Educate the public to get upset with
lawmakers, the courts and police for wasting money on private consenting
adult behavior! Get the law out of our bedrooms!

I don't agree with some of the suggested requirements of legalization (vs

or decriminalized (most except the U.S.)

Canadian Prostitution Laws
Very similar to what we propose and similar to most of Europe. Solves many
of the problems and wasted resources in the U.S. We should learn from the
many other countries that have decriminalized adult sexwork yet restrict
street prostitution.
English / Welsh Prostitution Laws Again street prostitution is the only
prime restriction, similar to our proposal.
