I see here in the Dominican Republic Prostitution is legal. Why is it not regulated like the Netherlands? I am not saying I am a participant, but if it is regulated, safety is almost assured for the prostitute and (for a better word)the Johns and (lets not forget) Janes. There would be assurances for under age participation of both sexes ( cedular ) and Health check up for diseases. I read a Senator had sex and parented a child with a underage girl but there was no mention of jail time. Why (moreover he had the gall to run for office again)? Astounding!!
