Of course. Most of the problems associated with prostitution are direct results of it being illegal, not problems inherant to the institution. It allows those unfortunates who are not able to find a normal sex partner to engage. It can help to lower the divorce rate ( while this seems counter-intuitive in relationships where there is great disparity in the sex drive of the husband and the wife, the husband can relieve his sexual needs in a way that does not threaten his emotional commitment to his wife of bring "another woman" into the picture.)
Since it can't be eliminate by being made illegal it can be regulated and made safer.
And, frankly, any woman who chooses a sex partner or a husband based in any part upon his income is all ready a prostitue.

They should do some studys of the sexual crimes rate in areas that have prostitution to see if the rate is lower. It would make a lot of sense to legalize it if it would get perverts off the street.
After all it is the worlds oldest profession!

It pretty much is. Go to craigslist and you'll see what I mean.
America is a very religious country, they feel that sex is only for marriage and legalizing prostitution will be bad for the country as a whole.
Although countries which have legal prostitution have much lower sex crime rates, teen pregnancies and abortion rates.

No because prostitution degrades the quality of life in communities across the nation. Prostitutes get raped and murdered and can cause a huge spike in violent crime in the neighborhood due to their illegal activities. They also spread STD's through sexual contact, making the neighborhood an unhealthy place. Prostitution should be kept illegal, PERIOD!!!

Yes. A lot of the current down-sides to illegal sex for pay are due to it being illegal. Exploitation, violence, drugs, kidnapping, STD transmission, political corruption, blackmail, etc., would be reduced if not eliminated by making it aboveboard, visible, legal, and regulated.
How is giving a massage for pay different from having sex for pay? Because sex is "dirty"? Come on, grow up.

Yes. legalized,taxed and mildly regulated by government( to set health standards,create fair tax income etc.)

Unfortunately "mildly regulating" is not what our govt.does best witch would cause too many problems for a viable business too handle,so back underground they would have to go.
so YES. But it won't happen.

It is legal in some states, and look at the crime rate in Las Vegas... it's shocking, really.
