We still seem have this archaic belief that men marry for sex and woman marry for security. If we offer men sex for mere money, are we afraid that they will not take the plunge into marriage? We also don't seem to be comfortable with women having sex with whomever they wish, even if they don't charge for it. If men have many partners that's normal, if women do then there is something wrong with them mentally or morally.

I so so agree with all of this! Our society has held the belief that it's a given that men will seek "the release" and that women will not/are not allowed-- as it is considered "dirty" for them to do so. It's about control-- and deep deep ingrained social brainwashing/conditioning.
Radioflyer-- I s'pose there could be as many answers to why prostitution is illegal as there are colors to the rainbow. but when it comes down to it-- to me-- it seems to be about the value of the relationship between a man and woman-- and how equal/fair it is in all aspects-- emotional, physical and monitarily.
Prostitution may "cheapen"-- "lessen" that value of the relationship. It makes it so it's not equal for both genders. when things aren't equal(balanced) there will, sooner or later, be a revolt -- by one or the other that is being treated unfair. There needs to be respect to keep the balance(IMO).... and for this society-- Prostitution doesn't come with respect. So in order to- hopefully keep the respect(deter men to use and women to be used) prostitution is made illegal for the most part. this is part of my take on it anyway...
