Thats pretty nice. No wonder you have boom of rape cases in Sweden. What was it? 40% more rape victims since you got this stupid law?
And I'm not lying when I say that there is a boom of swedish men that comes to Copenhagen to buy sex here.

It's up to the states here in the USA.
It's illegal in 49 of 50 states. It's legal in Nevada.
Technically it's illegal here in California but our District Attourney here in San Francisco will not prosecute any prostitutes.
So basiclly it's legal here in my city at least.

If the government found out a way to get tax-money from prostitution, they would start brothels all over the country. Just like they did with the casinos.

So how much does sex cost in CPH. Do they service all types (gay/lesbian/straight, male/female...etc)?

To be honest. I don't know. You can ask DABZF. He does it every weekend.
But I think the prices are from 10$ and up. But some of the prostitutes are so damn gross. They are probably the cheap ones.

If memory serves, we have it the other way around, more or less, to Sweden.
Selling sex is not in itself illegal, but soliciting (i.e. approaching someone to offer sex for money) is. Therefore, street prostitution is illegal, but escort agencies are not. Equally, kerb-crawling falls under public nuisance laws rather than specific prostitution ones.
I might be wrong on the detail, but I think that's how it works.

Oh yeah... the "girl" OYRJA is pimping is beyond gross. She's one of those 100 kroner/night girls. So if OYRJA is selling you a girl be VERY alarmed and remember to say "no thanks"!!!

Stop bitching ho! And get back to work damnit. Just let the customer put a paperbag over your head if you are unsatified with the way you look.

Completely legal here.
I understand that the Swedish ban is based on the theories of a faction of the feminist movement, lead by Andrea Dworkin, for whom even consentual sex involving money is a degradation of women and pornography is rape. This is very much opposed by another faction within the feminist movement, who argue, that if a woman is free, she must also be free to sell her body.
One thing that has been shown worldwide is that a ban of prostitution leads to prostitution being controlled by organised crime and pimps, because then a prostitute will need somebody to shield her from the authorities. This automatically pulls her into crime and opens her up for exploitation.
It also prevents her from working in the reasonably safe enviroment of e.g. a brothel, where coworkers know with which guy she went to her room, to in the worst case working in the street, getting into somebody else's cars without anybody knowing where she is going and with whom. This extremely dangerous.

Come on OYRJA, even Greek monks know better about CPH.
Summer is the right season as quite a bunch of students are working part-time for escorts to raise some cash that will help them during schoolyear.
Right OYRJA ?
These girls are young, usually pretty, clean, honest, intelligent and openminded.
Right OYRJA ?
Price is set in advance during the phone call. It varies a little bit (as well as the "quality" of the girl) according to the category of hotel or neighbourhood you are calling from. The call itself might cost you 10$, but the performance itself will be billed in Euro with 3 digits, starting with a 2.
Right OYRJA ?

Of course it is legal here in Switzerland. I think the Swedish law is one of the most stupid I ever heard. It is so hypocritical, selling sex is a very old profession. What should be wrong with selling and buying sex as long nobody is forced to it?

Yes, it is true and the feminist movement is behind it.
But some men here go to Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Russia, Holland, Thailand AND Brazil for example... to buy sex.

Nevada is the only state where it is legal, but it is legal with some exceptions. A county can choose to outlaw it, and the only county where it is 100% illegal (meaning unless they change the state law, they'll never have it) is Clark County, where Las Vegas is. I guess they don't want to sully Las Vegas' image There have been talk of possibly making it legal in Las Vegas, and the mayor has envisioned a Red Light District in Downtown Vegas off of Fremont Street. When you think about it, prostitution is fairly out in the open in Las Vegas; you go into most casinos, especially in the evenings, you can spot the hookers a mile away as they're the best dressed women in the entire casino 99% of the time.
In many areas, there's a lot of gray area prostitution. Many massage parlors are really nothing more than brothels, and same is true for many escort services. While they claim "nothing sexual goes on", even the cops know that they're not making their money off of massages. The percentage of legit massage spas and escort services is probably in the single digits.

Prostitution is not always frowned upon in Las Vegas. If a guy is betting black ($100 chips) at the table, the casino much prefers to have him in his room for 1-hour as opposed to making the 120-mile round trip to Pahrump in Nye County (where its permitted).
And they prefer to be called working girls.
