Here is the point I was making with alcohol prohibition. During prohibition the organized crime/gangs made the rules, since only illegal organization could sell booze. Once alcohol sales became legal, legit business took over the industry. Illgel organizations lost their prime advantage. Eventually legal oganization took over.

Same happens with prostitution. Right now the illegal organization make the rules. If it was made legal, then the legal organization would knock out the illegal ones. The illegal organizations main advantage would be lost.
I think we are basically in agreement that prohibition doesn’t work. However, if it is legalised I do think that certain conditions need to be enforced, mainly that regular health checks take place, that the participants are of a legal age and that everything takes place on a consensual basis.


If there were in the world today any large number of people who desired their own happiness more than they desired the unhappiness of others, we could have paradise in a few years.
