I'm in favor of legalizing prostitution, as it is one of those "victimless crimes." By making it illegal, it isn't like we are getting rid of it, and instead we are throwing away money at policing it. If prostitution was legal, then there would be fewer pimps, since a prostitute could go to the police for protection from Johns who beat them or don't pay (I'd wager this costs less than prosecuting and jailing them). Legislating morality will not make people any more moral, and only makes the government a bigger nanny state.

I would side with your position. Whose business is it if two adults agree to a money-for-sex exchange?

Judging from some of the responses here, I take it that many would like to make it their business.

Agreed. You're talking about outlawing pleasure, which is deep-rooted in human nature. One might as well ask water to run backwards.
