If you believe in the free market, why shouldn't men be able to buy sex? There is obviously a demand for it, why shouldn't the free market be able to address that demand in a responsible fashion? No pimps, no unsafe sex, no trafficking, no underage, etc.

This free market system already works in NV. Why is it banned in all states but NV?

What do conservatives feel about the ban of free market sex trade?

Yes, as long as it's regulated like any other service from businesses.

Maybe you have just stated why Dirty Harry continues to be able to buy elections in Nevada. Could be, you know.

Reid wants to make prostitution illegal in Nevada, which is one of the reasons he's disliked there.

His victory in November was the fault of the GOP primary voters for picking a nutjob who is one of the few NV political figures even less popular than Reid.

Odd attitude. I have watched several documentaries on prostitution, that is a rather sad and often filthy world. I don't want that world to be considered normal.

Would make more sense to raise kids in such a way that they find permanent spouses later on and manage to stay happy with them.

I am a liberal, but I am old-fashioned when it comes to that. In my view it is wrong to separate sexuality from love and permanent relationships and treat it like any old service such as going to the hairdresser's.

I'd go a step further and say that men and women have the right to pay for sex with a consenting adult.

For a free country, we sure restrict a lot of freedoms.

Men have that choice now. They just choose the risks that accompany that choice. That the OP uses the word "right" shows how little the left understands what a "right" is.
