My grandma gave my brother money when he was like 17-18 to go to brothel. I did not ask my bro about it. My grandma told me. 
How can conscious politics handle this problem?

probably, at first raising awareness about it, because in culture, this is like taboo.

what cultural background are you from?

I am in North Carolina. You can see it on my actualized.org profile. But grandma is not from Russia but fan of it, and in Russia, I don’t know this for a fact, but my grandma told me that Russian empire times when they had a king, they had like a law, where all men of age 18, go to brothel...

No one becomes a hooker because they want to have sex. They are forced into it by their limited life circumstances.

I'm not saying it's cool. I'm saying my friend likes it.

I think he should be able to get his needs met legally. 

Is the evolution of prostitution this?

1. Legal regardless of the consequences. 

2. Illegal. 

3. Legal in a safe environment. 

4. Legal but no one does it because they have transcended the need and prostitutes don't have to do it because they have their basic needs met.

Yep. That’s blue indeed.

1. Legal regardless of the consequences.  Red

2. Illegal. Blue/Orange?

3. Legal in a safe environment. Orange/Green?

4. Legal but no one does it because they have transcended the need and prostitutes don't have to do it because they have their basic needs met.  Yellow+?

This?

Maybe

I don’t think it will be legal even in safe environment in stage green society. Stage green is not about that, so it would be illegal

but this Wikipedia page’s map says something different: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prostitution_law

I don't know about traditional prostitution but other forms of sex work seem stage green to me 

The whole green idea of feminism and how a woman can choose whatever she wants with her body, so if she wants to send nudes to guys online for money without being harmed (for example), then why not?

In that case maybe, but traditional prostitution, I do not think will be okay in green society

I’m trying to envision green level prostitution. I imagine she would be empowered. Like it’s a date situation and she can decide if she wants to proceed with the guy for money or not. She isn’t forced into it. Yet I can’t imagine a woman voluntarily going into a career of prostitution. Young women might aspire to be an actress, artist, scientist etc. yet a prostitute?
