if it is legal for sex to sell, why then is it illegal to sell sex.

there are two places I know of in the US where prostitution is legal. Las Vegas NV, and Atlantic City NJ. now this may have changed, but I do remember when it was voted in to legalize it in Atlantic City.

most attitudes about it by authority figures (even though they themselves may partake) is that prostitution demeans women period, end of story.

where as I have met women who simply enjoyed sex that much and figured "might as well make some cash while I am at it".

the other side of the coin is why pay for it when you can get it for free? first of all it is never free. in fact often times it will cost you more (dinner, movie, etc...) to get giggity with your girlfriend (and even then it is not a sure thing) than it costs for an hour plus a motel room.

and lets not forget those of us who for whatever reason cannot get laid any other way.
