By now everyone knows that the Russian dancers (strippers) got off and are free to do as they please. Wayne Munroe did a bang-up job of turning that case in their favor - Lawyers should be proud.

So, the question remains: Should we have cabaret clubs (strip clubs) here in The Bahamas? Is it up to the Bahamian government to govern morality, especially seeing that many of our government officials do not adhere to morals themselves?

If a grown man or woman wants to go to a private club where those of the opposite (or same) sex do their best "shaking their moneymakers" for financial gain, don't they have a right as a private citizen to enjoy this freedom of choice?

I think the sooner we drop the taboos about sex/sexuality, the better off we will be. I dont think its up to the govt to determine morality (particularly on this level), however i do think strip clubs need to be strictly regulated...especially since bahamas is such a small country. hell, we could do with a couple of strip clubs, but we dont need too many!

as for prostitution - i believe in decriminalisation of prostitution. i think its posistive that some countries have legalised it - simply because it creates a safer environment for the 'workers', physically, medically, etc. i dont think, however, that the bahamas is ready for this! not yet!:eek:

notice all the red plates down at butterflies :friday:

In a private setting, yes. As long as such facilities are regulated tightly and there is no explotiation of underaged individuals, and their is no sex between patrons and workers, b/c it then becomes a brothel. Nassau however does not need to be teaming with strip clubs and like establishments. We dont need to become an official 'sin city'.

A resounding 'Hell no' to legalized prostitution in this country. For a country of our size we dont need to become a breeding ground for sex trade workers. As well we already have a myriad of issues like incest and adultery eating away at this society. We dont neeed to give an official stamp of approval to anything that could perpetuate such things in our societies. As well we need to drive home the message of monogamous sex, not sex on every street corner. Legalizing prostition doesnt necessarily mean the 'clients' will utilize protective methods, and there is still a greater risk when you have multiple sexual partners, not only to those that sell their bodies, but the clients, and the wives and husbands they then go home to. In the end the family could get a devestating blow!

There should be as many strip clubs as there are churchs.

Yes it should be legel as long as it between adults. Its about regulating and educating people about sex and the dangers involved. Not hiding it, sex is not going away anytime soon.

Tax the heck out of it, regulate and enforce a code of practice. Strip clubs don't necessarily mean brothels (although they aren't too far removed from one another) but there is a healthy way to give people (particularly men) what they really want - naked ladies to look at.

Make male strip clubs illegal, punishable by firing squad.

yes yorick freedom of choice is the order of the day!

leave these people alone they are minding their business paying for their services and enjoying themselves in the process. these types of things is what we open ourselves up to when we continue to want tourism to be our driving economic force...so what't the problem now? have you all ever thought that maybe that pastorsw ould like to go but for fear of being spotted in a crowd they cant?

dancing is not prostitution neither is stripping i thought this was obvious leaves these people alone!

My wife will be mad at you for that one.

There should be as many strip clubs as there are churchs.

Now that would be a true example of equality and civil freedom, but even if "hell was to freeze over" and something like that was to happen, our Sundays would be then be divided into two distinct segments: The men hanging out in the strips clubs, while all the women and children are in church.

Right now its the men hanging out in bars while the women and children are at church, then they join them later to buy numbers :shaky:

I don't think bahamian society would be that segmented. After watching strippers for awhile, you began to realize that the probability of obtaining any of what you are seeing and fantasing about is remote or impossible especially since you already threw all your dollar bills in the 'H Bank'!: and had a few lap dances. Most men will eventually tire of lusting after something they can not have and move on or their patronage to such establishment would greatly deminish.

Ummm, remember what these cabinet members a forgetting is that the Bahamas is suppose to be a christian nation (remember i wrote which they are forgetting), so if they stick by that stripping should not be allowed.

Also I heard on the news one morning when they was talking about this smae thing, stripping is not illega, but public solicitacion (check spelling) is. So technically they were in a building so they were noy wrong. So that is the loop whole, so thats why they probally went off free,
