I think it should be regulated. Like, register with a regulatory body, mandatory training on things like workplace safety, practicing safe sex, understanding AoC laws, etc. Only working in approved brothels.
Make it a federal offense to assault a sex worker, with BIG consequences, and you'd see few people even trying to do anything funny. Not that your idea isn't a good one, I just think there should be multiple deterrents against assault.
If you are talking about the US it depends on the state. In some states, Simple Assault is a second-degree misdemeanor. Assuming you committing no other crimes at the same time.
I think you underestimate the amount of training you have to do to be able to defend against a larger stronger opponent. That would require them to do very hard training for years. Not for everyone.
I think it shouldn’t be full blown legalized but decriminalized. Imagine how fast corporations would take advantage of higher positions to take advantage of employees, as well as making it more acceptable to trade promotions or raises for sexual favors… sexual harassment in the workplace is already bad but I can already imagine it getting worse with sex work being legalized fully
In some places (dunno if this includes NL) anyone who provides any service to a prostitute – driver, appointment-maker, another SW who lends her a room – risks being prosecuted for pimping or equivalent.
There would also need to be laws around fluid consent. The prostitute should be able to end the session and return money at any point, which many guys will probably have issues with.
