Make it legal and we can regulate it! There will be no more abuses!

Your logic is flawed.

1. Are you suggesting prostitution is a job like any other? You're honestly saying that you would have no more problem selling your bum for an hour compared to working at a shop...?

Where did I say that?
I would have more problems selling my ass than working in a store.
the same way I would have more problems working cleaning a sewer than writing software code in an office like I do.
there are obviously jobs that are way less desirable than others....but we don´t go around outlawing them.

2. It's legal to give up babies for adoption. Are you of the opinion that it's perfectly fine to sell human babies?

If I was attempting to be ironic my first answer would be that it seems to me that if you are really rich it is legal to buy babies....see the list of really high end US celebrities that have gone on "adoption sprees" in third world countries.
but I won´t go that far.... I will correct my previous statement saying it is perfectly valid when applied to goods and services (including sexual services) I don´t consider that people themselves fall into either category.

And honestly, since when did prostitution and normal sex become one and the same? There's a world of difference, unless you consider women to be no more than holes for you to put your willy in.

Sex is Sex.....sex with someone you are in a real relationship with is Sex + Something else.

And no, I do not consider women just holes, but the truth is that the biological and social conditioning of our species have put women in the role of, in lack of a better words, holding access to a "commodity" that the majority of the male part of our species will have to pay to access in one way or another (at least on first contact, and before the issue of more complex feelings and relationships comes into play)
This is not a negative comment towards women, it's just an observation of the simple result of the uneven levels of supply and demand of sexual contact you find between both sexes, the sex that produces 1 or 2 sexual cells a month will not act the same way as the sex that produces millions and millions and feels a certain "pressure" let's say to spread them around, the side with the lowest level of supply will find that increases it's value and will act accordingly.

When it comes to just regular sex, I find no moral or logical difference between prostitution or let's say going to a pick-up bar and paying for drinks, or the numbers and numbers of men that pick up all the checks on dates at a beginning of a relationship, giving gifts, etc, etc.
I´m not saying all these men are making a conscious and cynical decision of "buying" access to sex, (although some are as you are well aware, we both will know some cases) what I´m saying is that just because society tends to view these transactions as normal or "transparent" doesn´t mean they are not being conducted, every day.

now, all this might be politically incorrect, but that doesn´t mean it's false.
