Legal sex work abroad vs usa

I know the legal sex work topic was mentioned before but I'm wondering why other Christian nations like Germany and most of S America have legal sex work but not most of USA. Someone mentioned women dont want it, it being a cash business. Christianity. why does it work aboard?
Thanks
Thanks
It's a great question with no single answer. I am a cynic so I think it's because it is more profitable to certain special interests to keep it illegal. Same as drugs. The United States incarcerates more of its population than any other country in the world. Who profits from that?
Germany as a country invests in public goods for its citizens very differently than the United States does. Health care, education, transportation, etc. In a country like Germany, there is more incentive to address the root causes of social issues than to ignore them or mislead the public about what causes them.

I have heard that before but turn on MTV and watch some music videos by rappers. I guess they blur the sexual words but they have women twerking.
Honestly I think a lot of younger people being on the internet are more open in regards to sexuality, supporting sex work, but the people who make the laws regarding this stuff are still the older generations who by in large have more traditional views. The older past 40 you look I imagine the percent of support for sex work drops dramatically and the average age of a politician in the US is almost 60 based on the house of reps. Despite all their other bs, young millennials and gen z grew up with the internet and all of its edgy sexed up humor and exposure to international views and are more tolerant of sexualized material. Many recent memes are straight from adult animations, and many channels on youtube use a bunch of cropped adult art for clickbait these days like its nothing. It makes me hopeful that in the future society will just embrace that adults are horny and like sex, and will stop stigmatizing it as much.
When I was in Amsterdam a couple of years ago I went to the red light district where the ladies are in the widows half naked,great window shopping. FS for 30 minutes was 60 euros at the time, and for more just about anything could be had.The girls are licensed and checked for disease regularly...paradise. Talking with a barkeep there about it he said they have little or no sex crimes...go figure. Here in the US just about every advertisement uses sex to sell but it's not legal to buy it...IMHO it's the prudes and married women who want it to remain illegal...How many married guys had great sex until they actually got married ??...There's your answer as to why there will always be sex for sale.
I think even in the USA the acceptance, if not legality, of sex work is very regionalized. In rural areas the local authorities spend a lot of time and resources going after sex work. In small town in the southern USA if they find out there is an establishment giving out HJs, there is a major police undertaking. Surveillance, undercover officers, etc. But in larger cities like NYC, Chicago, Philadelphia, SF, etc. I don't think anyone really cares.
I always find it funny when we blame the scorned married women for the illegality of sex work. Lol. When has this specifically described demographic ever moved the legal needle on anything?
It's the politics and the balance sheets behind it if you ask me. To most government entities right now, it's more financially beneficial to penalize and fine customers and operators either in business or independent settings, then it would be to bear the expense of legalizing and taxing it. Just look at what a complicated and ridiculous process marijuana is proving to be. Calling it legal is a joke, at least in my area, when you have the red tape to access it as a user or a business. Same applies here.
It's also going to create plenty of difficult to have discussions on the voting side of things. So the topic as a whole will typically be avoided, and meanwhile a bust always makes it a good headline to pretend tax dollars are effectively working....especially when they can work in the sex trafficking label to it, even though that have used to term to thoroughly mislead many times. As an example, a woman willingly traveling from NJ to NY to work here would be considered trafficked, while the same woman traveling from Bergen County to AC to work is not.
I am sure if we can figure out a way for our NJ governor to position sex work as a racial equity issue and direct efforts to "underserved" communities, he would be on board though. He seems to live for making those statements...

"Compare that to say Japan, where porn is legally required to be censored yet they are much more comfortable in general with nudity and sexuality in their media"
I always found what I call "the Japanese paradox" quite bizarre. The effort they put into pixilating while everything around is quite explicit has always mystified me. I guess it's just another version of Kabuki...
