Is there a good reason why prostitution is illegal? I don't really know the reason why it is, is there some historical reason for why this is the case and it's still maintained in many countries? It just doesn't make sense to me to criminalize sex workers.

The media likes it's shooting stories too much.

edit: I do not know if prostitution being legal would have any difference on the amount of mass shootings United States of America experiences but it's not like we will do anything about guns.

The last time I looked the statistical consensus is that legalizing prostitution expands the market beyond the markets ability to supply it and areas where prostitution is legal generally have more undocumented sex workers and human trafficking than those that do not. The solution would be to increase the supply of sex workers but you cannot increase pay without pricing pushing people back into the black markets and most people understandably dont want to be sex workers and using any kind of duress or incentive has all kinds of ethical issues.

I can understand legalizing it to at least protect some sex workers even if it creates more unprotected ones but it feels like a bad decision to me.

No easy answers. :sigh:

Then again I havent read up on it in a while. Maybe someone will tell me my data was all obsolete and/or wrong and there is no downside and all will be well.

Because only virgins can create a pure bloodline and selling sex removes that possibility and that's why all non virgins should be sacrificed to the Great Gods

If the market can't sustain a healthy prostitution wage maybe the government should subsidize the prostitutes.

I can't speak for the rest of the world but in the US it's because the country is a puritanical far-right shithole run mainly by Christofascists.

Ethical issues with subsidizing the wages of prostitutes to encourage people to go into that field over others especially since the target market is barely adult people with poor decision making skills. We are talking about the same group going into six figure debt for cooking and philosophy degrees.

I think the argument for prostitution is that gross disgusting brutish and unsavory people that Darwin would have naturally left behind and that women naturally hate need to be dragged along with the rest of evolution like a rotting sun-puckered corpse on a rope behind a horse, and that horse is prostitution.
