Well, I think also that there's also the notion that the transaction is not necessarily on equal footing for all participants. I generally don't have a problem with sex workers getting legitimacy, but I do have a problem with the sexual and monetary explotation of women, men and children by third party brokers. For whatever it's worth, most women searching for weathly husbands go into the deal on their own terms and generally reap the rewards for themselves. That's not necessarily the case for most prostitutes.
For the sake of argument, would that be true if it were legal? How much of the exploitation of prostitutes comes from needing a pimp for protection in a black-market transaction?
