This is likely due to the fact that illegality has birthed a black market, but that doesn't take away from the fact that it's generally a fucked up industry.

So yeah, it's not exactly a victimless crime...
yeah, it's more complicated than that. i believe that anyone should be able to do whatever they want to themselves as long as they're an adult and not hurting anyone else. that being said, if prostitution were legal, i wouldn't want my daughter to aspire to be a prostitute when she reaches adulthood. pretty much the same as being involved in porn. education would likely solve that problem.

i think that most of the trafficking and such is created due to it being illegal as well, but that's just my unrehearsed ignorant opinion and nothing more.
