Hello, I'm Ed Butler and welcome to Business Daily from the BBC.

This month, as Parliament in the Netherlands prepares to debate the principle of legal prostitution,

we're debating it ourselves with a feminist and a former sex worker.

This false radical feminist narrative that we are renting the inside of our bodies.

I mean, the way abolitionist

talk is so much more degrading than any client I've encountered. Clearly there's endemic violence

or you wouldn't need a panic button. But there's always predators in any profession. I used to

work as a therapist. But I don't have to have a panic button. Yep, sex work and the law.

What should the rules be over the world's oldest profession?

That's Business Daily here from the BBC.

Since 1971, the Netherlands, with its famous red light district in its bigger city, Amsterdam,

has been a symbol, for better or worse,

of sexual liberation. Prostitution in the country is basically legal, give or take a few restrictions,

so long as it occurs between consenting adults. But now, thanks to a public petition submitted to

the Justice Ministry this week, the country's Parliament is debating whether a change is due.

Should new restrictions come in which would criminalise the men, it is mostly men, who pay for sexual favours?

From Amsterdam, the BBC's Anna Holligan, there reports.

I'm unbeatable. I am priceless.

I am unbettableable.

I am priceless.

I am unbetalable.

I am priceless.
