Prostitution is illegal in many places, including some parts of the U.S., Canada and the U.K., purportedly due to concerns about safety, exploitation, and the spread of diseases, with laws ostensibly designed to protect individuals and society from potential harm. But prostitutes these days often know more about safe sex than the more "decent" members of society. Also, measures can be put in place to protect them from slave-like living and addictions.

It is not illegal in the UK. The law is complicated and prohibits soliciting, running a "disorderly house", or living off the "immoral earnings" of another person, but charging money for sexual services is not itself an offence.

Soliciting I believe is the crime, I think because it is extremely difficult to prove or make a case of money and sex. Sex isnt illegal nor money.

I am for it's legalization, as morality shouldn't be legislated. For the johns out there that say they're helping them with their business, what they're really doing is exploiting them. If they really care about a harlot's well being, they would just give them money or other resources without asking for sex in return.

If that's true then you also should just be giving money to those people (not all of them are women).
Are you?

P-i-m seems unable to distinguish trade from charity. At the top end of the market, where politicians and wealthy entrepreneurs are the customers, the notion of "exploitation" seems to be reversed.
