Foreign sex workers are frequently underage children. Many sex workers across the world have actually been kidnapped and sold into sex slavery. UNICEF is "for the children". UN officials were found to be patronizing the sex worker establishments in Kosovo.

The implications of this are not attractive.

Oh great... Unionized sex workers.

Just what we need - Lazy whores.

For some people this will be like getting some from the wife, only you'll have to pay more for it.

When an activity is outlawed, it just continues in a black market without the benefit of the law to protect the parties to the transaction.

I have never paid for sex, and I'm sure most guys on this board haven't either, but prostitution should be legalized for three reasons:
1. Public health officials can regularly test and register prostitutes and require they use condoms. They can keep the druggies and the HIV+ prostitutes away from straying husbands who then go home and sleep with (and infect) their wives.
2. The prostitutes are free to work or refuse work without risk of being beaten up by their pimp. In a legal profession, you can call the police if your employer abuses you. Likewise, the johns won't get robbed or killed by the pimp.
3. That subset of rapist who rape because they can't get a pretty girl anyways will have a place to go for consensual sex (yes I know most rapist do it for the power and not the sex, but there are some attackers who have no social skills and think "date rape" or slipping a roofie in a drink is only way they're going to nail a hottie).
