this is mainly aimed toward people in countries where prostitution is currently illegal (mainly united states). debate.

I think it should be legal. if someone wants to use a paycheck and get a night of enjoyment when they would otherwise be doing nothing, than why is it the governments business? prostitution is a perfectly legitimate way to make money (albeit, almost impossible for guys to do), and hindering it only violates basic human (and legal) rights to work doing whatever they want, so long as it does not harm anyone else.

Pimping, on the other hand, is very horrible. the fact that they try to own and control other human beings is very immoral and should not be allowed.
