The problem with prostitution, unlike other 'professions', is that because it deals with sex, and because sex is a metaphor that is strongly associated in both social and religious contexts, then the 'business' aspect of its application is thought to somehow 'cheapen' the overall metaphor.
If the mere appearance/application of money into a 'sacred' endeavor automatically cheapened it, then Vatican City must not be a very holy city indeed. Not only that, but every 'church' that was built must, by virtue of the payment to the laborers and of the materials used, be cheapened by the use of money to 'create' such a 'sacred' place.
The bigger question is this: can money/materialism be used for spiritual/immaterial purposes without the result being the diminishment of the 'sacred'? Does paying for sex automatically diminish the 'sacredness' of the act? Well, if that were true, then every marrriage that ends in divorce, or every marriage sanctioned due to social obligation rather than spiritual or sacred covenant, must also degrade the sacred 'status' of marriage.
Do acts of profanity deny or erase acts of virtue? Does an Adolph Hitler being born deny the birth of a Mother Theresa or a Pope John Paul II? Being born does not make one 'virtuous'. Neither does marrying make one's pact with their partner a 'sacred' act. Marrying in a church, however holy, does not, ipso facto, make the marriage holy. What makes a marriage, or anything else for that matter, 'holy' is the application of the principal/spirit within it. If you marry for the wrong spiritual reason (the binding of oneself to another through acts of nurturing, caring, and ultimately valuing) no amount of hoseannas, holy priests, or bible recitations can make it thus.
Sex is only as sacred as the spirit in which it is engaged. Trappings do not define spirituality, and that includes social and religious ones.

It is wrong in the sense that a prostitute is being used as a commodity and not as a human being.
Also, as it is not legal in most states, the risks of disease and death are very great. If it were legal there would be protection and health care provided to persons who choose that way of life.

heck no, I mean what's the difference between buying a gal dinner or some jewelery. They do it to survive, others just do it for the money. Honey, I'm sorry but will you still love me if I can't take care of you and pay the bills... i don't think so. Now, prostitutes that are carrying diseases that they know of and don't tell their clients that is wrong.

umm,
Good question. I think that if the prostitute is willing to do it, than there really is no problem. As long as they aren't going against there will. I don't personally think it should be against the law. It is still business and employment; however, not a business I would readily become a consumer of.

It is wrong in a number of ways.
- The common law that most civilized countries employ understand that it is a crude and potentially abusive practice.
- It is sinful by the religious laws and practices of all modern religions.
- It endangers people in the community with disease, and carries that to unsuspecting spouses.
- It is a dirty habit, which vilifies a beautiful, wonderful act between two loving people.

It rates real low right now in the scheme of American politics. Who really cares except prostitutes, pimps and johns, that it is illegal?

It is legal in Nevada. There was a time when Nevada was the only state in the US where casino gambling was legal.

i can think of worse things than two consenting adults coming to a buisness agreement. however, it is kinda wrong to totally take advantage of a strung out crack whore that will do anything for drugs. if it were legal it would be cleaner, safer, and less degrading.
