Prostitution is primarily a sin against chastity.
Depending on who is involved, it may also lead to or be complicit in a host of other sins ... like adultery, telling untruths, coveting, stealing, etc.
From the Catholic Catechism:
2355 Prostitution does injury to the dignity of the person who engages in it, reducing the person to an instrument of sexual pleasure. The one who pays sins gravely against himself: he violates the chastity to which his Baptism pledged him and defiles his body, the temple of the Holy Spirit.140 Prostitution is a social scourge. It usually involves women, but also men, children, and adolescents (The latter two cases involve the added sin of scandal.). While it is always gravely sinful to engage in prostitution, the imputability of the offense can be attenuated by destitution, blackmail, or social pressure.

Sex is the union of 2 people in marriage. It is inappropiate outside of marriage.

It brings in more money than a collection plate.
