So if I've earned the means to secure the services of a prostitute, that should not be taken away?
Prostitution & Porn Legality/Morality?

actually the more I think about it, it doesn't seem so wrong. Women enjoy porn too, and women can enjoy prostitutes as well. Although no woman actually goes to a prostitute by herself (and I don't think our brothels in Nevada accept single women- but they will accept couples). So provide it's equal and women are able to enjoy the same activities, it isn't so bad.
And a more interesting poll would have been: Have you ever solicited a prostitute. And make it a public poll
. Okay if it was public no one would vote yes, you'd have to make it private.

Everytime I think you're actually pretty smart you go and repeat these same BS conservative talking points.

I'm not sure what you are asking. I was talking about the libertarian view of taxes (which I don't necessarily agree with). They basically don't believe in taxes. but I'm get OT for this thread, let's not turn it into yet another political discussion.

I don't necessarily agree with it. But I still think it's a good and legitimate question. It's not a conservative talking point (the repugs have no problem taxing you to get money to fight their illegal wars), it's a libertarian talking point.
By government outlawing prostitution, it has limited my freedom to enjoy the money that I have earned.

Most American libertarians(who aren't actually libertarians seeing as they support capitalism) would consider themselves conservative as well.

very libertarian point of view. I like it.
I'm not a libertarian mind you. But they are right on a couple things.

So my question is (I won't make a thread on this, as I think it will be closed):
If you believe prostitution (or porn) is moral, would you participate in it? Say for example you had no hope of getting a gf (disabled for example), would you do it? If not, why?

If it became socially acceptable sure.

"Earn" and "obtain" are held to be distinct concepts by many on the left (and some on the right). As such, Right-Libertarians often appears to be primarily self-interested to such people, because they express greater interest in the protection of individual obtainment than the ethical distribution of wealth. Just to clarify, you see.

I doubt sleeping with whores could prevent explosions of any sort.
Unless you wear a diaper when you're with them. Then you are saving the universe.

Their morality is irrelevant to the fact that both should be legal.

A-okay and they should be legal, taxed, and regulated. 
More freedom, more tax dollars, less money spent on enforcement. We all win.
The only issue with prostitution would be say, STDs. But if we REGULATE it, we establish health standards that prevent this, more or less.
Progressive victory!

This, and a lot of stuff about how shoving markets underground fills them with poison. Legalize and regulate. Keep the whores and the drug dealers and the bookies honest.

But don't call them "whores", at least not in this context. It's a slur, and its use is complacent in the marginalisation that causes many of the problems faced by sex workers. (Just saying, y'know. It's important to keep this stuff straightened out.)

I appreciate what you're trying to do.
FWIW, if I knew any more demeaning words to describe drug dealers and bookies I would have used those too.
1The word of the LORD that came unto Hosea, the son of Beeri, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash, king of Israel.
2The beginning of the word of the LORD by Hosea. And the LORD said to Hosea, Go, take unto thee a wife of whoredoms and children of whoredoms: for the land hath committed great whoredom, departing from the LORD.
