Florida law requires strippers and massage parlor workers to be 21 or older
ElectronmanToo much of a good thing is never enough
What do you think of this? Seems like DeSantis and the Florida Republicans are conflating sex work with human trafficking.

Old news indeed, but made fresh again a few days ago when a U.S. appeals court upheld a similar law imposed by the city of Jacksonville. It is now far less likely that a similar case against the state law, which was put on hold while the Jacksonville case played out, will move forward.
Tbh I don't mind this law at all. 18-20 year old kids are far less mature than they were 30 years ago. They just don't grow up as fast anymore. I cannot really fathom a kid still going to High School able to swing on a stripper poll at night because she turned 18 during the school year.

I’ll support this when you can’t sign up for the military and risk your life until 21 or you can’t be charged as an adult until 21. They’re very selective about when people can make decisions. It’s just puritanical BS.

Robert Kraft does not approve.

I prefer women old enough to drink with me. I also prefer one clear age when you are an adult. 17 for this, 18 for that, 21 for another thing, 25 for your insurance to drop, and 27 to age off your parents' insurance is so obviously insane!

Its better to have leave it at 18, to provide income opportunities for highschool dropouts or someone who doesnt want to go to college or cant afford it. A law like this will push those girls into becoming pimped street hoes which is a worse situation than being a stripper or massage girl

Right on, Ricky. And Lucy agrees with us.

“Robert Kraft does not approve.”
Kraft actually had his fun with the mamasan so he probably doesn’t care. Belichick on the other hand…
Personally, I usually don’t click with the under 21’s. Not a legal hang up, I just don’t like the feeling of an unequal give and take. I have met a few 20 year olds who were savvy and street smart beyond their years. Case by case basis and I wasn’t looking for them, it just clicked.

so when IS the age that you are a true adult? when I was young I thought it was when you got a driver's license at 16...

but I have met 30 year olds that are still not an adult...

I know not long ago DeSatan was talking about solving the labor shortages to allow under 16s to work over night shifts. Make no mistake he doesn’t care about young people. This is just social conservatives Bible thumper BS.

@Boomer: I used to feel the same way. I still do about the drinking age. It seems ridiculous to me that someone can die for their country but can't have a freaking beer.
But strip clubs are a very unique animal. I see this from both sides as both a degenerate who frequents clubs and a father to school age kids.
Kids nowadays just aren't like us when we were 18. They are soft and naïve and sheltered. An 18 year old High School senior just isn't equipped to deal with grown men in that way.
Over the years I've also seen some bad stuff happen with 18 year olds in strip clubs. Deviants target them and try to manipulate them. More times than I care to remember, parents were behind their kids stripping because they needed the extra household income. They are more susceptible to getting sucked into the drug culture than older strippers. Many of the biggest mistakes and regrets I've ever heard from long time strippers goes back to when they started in their late teens. I could go on.

I'm not convinced that raising the minimum age for strippers will have any impact on trafficking.
Why not go after the thugs who are the pimps and "managers" and make sex work legal and safe for the workers.
We seem to have a parallel with Prohibition...... making alcohol illegal gave rise to organized crime and bootleggers. Making alcohol legal and safe (at least relatively safe) provided an alternative to the alcohol that Al Capone and others in organized crime were running while alcohol was illegal and profits were high.

DeSatan is a good one. I would still say fucker carlson and cumela harris are funnier ones.
I think a younger dancer or sex worker, especially if she didnt have boyfriends in school, can be more vulnerable to getting attached to a client or pimp.

I'm guessing they passed this as a favor to Matt Gaetz. Now all the teenage sex workers will only have the option of P4P with him. He'll be able to get bargain basement rates.

Good law. I may have had a different opinion when I was much younger, but now I feel a little creepy getting a lap dance from an 18 yo.

Some of my favorite JAX dancers were 19. Definitely noticed when this law came into place. Glad Georgia is still 18+!
