    I don't think there is anything morally wrong about prostitution. If it can be sold as a service and the two adults are consenting, more power to you. Should be legal and regulated.

    I consider it morally wrong for both parties, but think it should be legal and regulated. People are going to do it no matter what, so may as well protect the health and safety of those who choose to sell or buy sex.

    How can you regulate prostitution? Do you only make it "legal" in Las Vegas, New York City and other places?

    Make it legal everywhere. Issue prostitution permits. Maybe issue john permits. Make them all get tested in order to stay legal.

    But if you film it, with the intent to distribute the film, it's legal...

    There's a lesson to be learned here. Keep your cellphone handy.

    Because in that case, neither party is being paid for sex; they're being paid to be in front of the camera.

    Prostitution restrictions, like drug laws, are stupid.

    Not only would we be protecting X amount of people by making it safe, regulating it, testing it, removing the shady aspects of it, you could tax it and make a boatload of money on it.

    Then again, hey, why make prostitution legal when you can simply sit back and laugh at all the people that get arrested. Gotta love police reports.

    Heck, even Hugh Grant got a hummer.

    I laugh at someone like Spitzer who gets a hooker in friggin' Washington, D.C. Ever heard of Las Vegas? You could have a line of women in the hallway waiting and no one would give a hoot.

    Incorrect. Prostitution is illegal in Las Vegas. Parts of Nevada, however, are fair game.
