A persons body is the only thing they truly own and should be able to capitalize on it fully
Plus its gonna happen anyway
Also, theoretically, it will help disadvantaged and lesser educated people make money and possibly bring in tax revenue

While there is research to suggest that legalization of prostitution can lower incidence of violence and disease afflicting consenting sex workers, it would increase the prevalence of sex trafficking and further inhibit law enforcement's efforts to intervene.
That said, consenting sex workers and victims of sex trafficking often are unjustly criminalized when they report victimization to police, which is unacceptable.(WTFFFFFF).
For example, consider the case of a woman in Connecticut who called police to report her sex trafficker but then was arrested for prostitution. Two years later, her sex trafficker was arrested for the malicious wounding of a woman in Fairfax County, Virginia, though he was not prosecuted when the victim went missing.
Most police, anti-trafficking groups and advocates for sex worker rights agree that victims of sex trafficking and other forms of violence never should be criminalized. But the legalization of prostitution is not the answer; it would further complicate the problem. Instead, legislators should consider measures that expand tools for law enforcement to facilitate investigations, rescues and arrests. In addition, to protect victims, consider decriminalization, which is not the same as legalization. Decriminalization would allow police to use further discretion in enforcing the law and/or lessen penalties for truly consensual exchanges between adults.

Under full legalization, brothels would be everywhere, services would be cheap. A totally saturated industry at that point. The only people making money would be the owners of the businesses, the girls would be hand to mouth in a perpetual cycle of dispear. More sex trafficking would occur, more drugs, more rape and of course the next step would be to lower the age of consent, where they can have child prostitutes.
The solution is to change our culture. Prostitution will always occur, we lessen it by changing the general culture and strengthening the economy.
So my answer is "No. Clean up the culture." (not a poll option)

But do you see any reprucussions of full scale legalization?
Nope I think it will probably make things safer for everyone if you enforce the correct rules not to mention more revenue for local governments from the taxes I see it being very similar to weed legalization and gambling legalization.
Also less people being robbed and set up sometimes even killed because of lack of awareness imo.Fully agree
Legalize the vices
Interesting point. Data does suggest, however, that legalization follows an increase in trafficking to said legalized areas.
Yeah but how would they know that if people are doing it in secret when its illegal lol? I don't trust that data.

I disagree. There are plenty of young women (and men) who tell themselves exactly that.
Sure
