      I'll never cease to be amazed that two adults, consensually having sex on the basis of an exchange of money, is illegal.

      I think the problem in a lot of cases is that it's not always consensual in the sense that the prostitute has been forced or coerced into her position. Though I think the laws surrounding that problem exacerbate the problem not reduce it. I'm strongly in favour of legalizing and regulating prostitution. Require sex workers to have regular mental and physical check ups in which they can be provided a safe space to perhaps get out of a situation where they are forced into the profession.
