Here at SexToySutra – Sex Toys, United Kingdom, Australia, United States of America we are strong believers that criminalizing sex work pushes the people involved to go to extreme lengths to operate their business and thus leaves them vulnerable to attack and worse. Australia is one country that has really led the way in decriminalizing sex work and providing a safe environment and regulatory framework to keep sex workers fit and healthy. Prostitution is one of our species most ancient trades and has over the years been looked on in a negative light, people take sex too seriously. Sure it is important to take precautions and stay safe but it is nothing to be frowned upon as though we are still in the middle ages. It has always existed and will remain to exist forever so instead of punishing people a different approach is required.
