Prostitution has always existed, and it always will. Just because something is illegal doesn't make it go away. But I understand what most of the conservatives here are saying. Prostitution is wrong, it's not good morals, it's degrading and people shouldn't do that.
Listen, just because something is wrong doesn't mean it's not going to happen and guess what, some people want to go out and pay for sex. Right now they have to go pickup some nasty ass crack whore on a street corner.

Don't you think it would be better to have a system like the one in the Netherlands where the hookers are protected?

I would never pay for sex, legal or not. So those of you saying people want it legalized to fulfill their own fantasies are way off track.
