If we legalize it we take the violence out of
the trade (similarly to how ending the war on drugs
would take the violence out of that to).
It makes it much safer from spreading STDs: the John,
the prostitute and the general public.
Also, by spending less money on sex we can
afford to buy more cocaine.

But seriously, you are basically correct. When the government injects prohibition into society, it makes them all "different persons." However, if I'm going to the general public and selling this or that just to eke out a living, how is it so drastically different from prostitution? I know it's not absolutely identical, but the principle seems fairly similar.
