Good.

There's such a different culture about it now. My friends that have done/do it enjoy their jobs much more than the rest of us. There's so much safety and professionalism involved. Loosening the laws on it only improves and legitimises this more. And at the end of the day, it's not the state's job to be involved beyond full support for its working citizens.

I hope it's not overturned. That will only create potential for ongoing harm in the face of something ultimately innevitable.

I'm very impressed with QLD's progress over this last decade. Some really old laws that aren't socially or morally acceptable in the modern world are starting to finally be addressed and corrected.

That's absolutely fantastic. As long as it's between two consenting adults with no force applied by anybody either externally or internally, then it's fine.

Anyone paying for sex is a fucking creep. Just have a wank. If you are too messed up to have any other sort of normal sexual relationship and it’s that important to you, go find the train tracks. Honestly. WTF is wrong with people?

Oh mate, that attitude.
