Of course it is. Prostitution takes place between consenting adults. There is no coercive force involved. No fraud. There is no perpetrator and no victim.
Prostitution is the kind of "victimless" crime that brings neighborhoods down and drives good people away. Drunk stoned men looking for sex harass and come after innocent women while addict hookers pester men. Don't forget the pimp slavemasters or the runaway children who work in this fine Libertarian occupation.
Prostitution belongs indoors, not on the streets. It is on the streets precisely because it is illegal to operate a brothel.
"Drunk stoned men looking for sex harass and come after innocent women..."
...and should be arrested and imprisoned for assault and maybe even attempted rape.
Don't forget the pimp slavemasters or the runaway children who work in this fine Libertarian occupation.
Unless somebody has been coercively forced to participate in prostitution your "pimp slavemasters" argument is irrelevant. If somebody voluntarily subjects themselves to that kind of lifestyle then I'm afraid you have no cause to interfere.
As for children, anyone having sex with children should be brought up on rape and molestation charges and put in prison.
BTW, welcome to FR.
Not true in Nevada, where it's LEGAL. Saw a docu on a Nevada brothel. Safe, secure, tastefully conducted behind closed doors. And they pay taxes.
