For example, most men with Asperger syndrome?

Young girls are in the business, not because they are cut out for it, but for the money. This is also the case with other professions, but prostitution exacts an emotional toll on these girls. Second, what government condones the break up of families? Also, the men who use prostitutes get used to a type of sex that is more ego gratification than anything else.

A negative aspect can be found for just about anything. Also, where are all these "sex slaves"? I haven't seen a lot of complaints from them. Legalizing prostitution would actually make it easier to protect hookers from abusive pimps and johns. It would make the business safer for the johns, too. Stop trying to impose your morality on others. –Between supporting drug habits and coercion under the treats (sic) of violence among other mitigating factors I think consent when it comes to prostitution is a relative term. –

Legalizing prostitution would make it far more prevalent than it is now. That means far more sexually transmitted diseases, not just for the johns, but also for their wives and girlfriends. More prostitution means more marriages failing, more families torn apart. Prostitution is horribly degrading to women. We already live in a society where women are objectified, a society in which David Letterman can make a joke about the governor of Alaska looking "slutty" and her teenage daughter being impregnated by a baseball player - and it's all in good fun. Imagine how future generations of men will view women in a society where the government condones the practice of women selling their bodies.

Now I think that we need to double our efforts, especially on pimping laws. Drug use is also a problem, as many of these women end up having kids to support.
