So I've noticed there are many websites where "sex workers" advertise themselves for sale (Backpage is one example). What you guys think of it? Should it be allowed?
If guys need to pay for sex I sort of pity them but it probably keeps them from going postal, so I have no problem with it. Like to see women getting paid for providing a service too. Legalizing prostitution is probably the best way to eliminate exploitation of vulnerable people.

I have mixed feelings towards it. I see a lot of women do not like prostitutes or escorts.

That's how the Supreme Court of Canada sees it, too.
I think we should focus on rehabilitating our staggering prison population before setting up another system that happily sucks people in and then forgets to deal with what happens at the other end.
There is really nothing wrong with it. It's the legal system which turns sex work into a dark and shady endeavor. But this is America and our laws have always been a little behind the rest of the world. It's just not that much fun when going in for some "entertainment" with the thought of being pounced on by the pigs.
Of course it should be allowed. There's no reason why anything that consenting adults do in private is the business of the government's.
