First of all thanks for your informative posts.
Second, this is part of what's screwed up in the US. You're in Australia where being a sex worker isn't illegal. They have sex workers, they regulate them and test them for STI's or STD's. In (most of) the US it is illegal, doesn't mean the US doesn't have sex workers, just means it's a cat and mouse game and there's no regulation or testing. I'm from the US but currently live in Mexico. Here it's legal as well, though there really isn't a difference between a strip club and brothel. Basically all the strip clubs are brothels. Here they test the workers on a regular basis, they issue heath cards etc... Of course I only know about one part of Mexico. Maybe it doesn't work that way in other states but here in the state of Yucatan that's how it works.
Every time the US gets in the business of regulating morality it doesn't work well, IMHO.
