I'd thought I'd mention the topic you are replying to is from 4 years ago.
But it is no less an issue today than it was then.
What happens between consenting adults should have no limits, including paying for any kind of sex. For those who talk about the Constitution, there is no text within it that says the government should protect me from me. Is VD rampant in Nevada, where prostitution is illegal? No, because it is regulated. Sex workers are required to get frequent medical treatment and testing. It is a proven process, and it works. Instead of spending tax dollars busting street hookers, we could be providing better care for them.
Prostitution (escorting, hooking, whatever you want to call it) is often referred to as the oldest profession, Isn't it about time (just like pot smoking) that we recognize the futility and damage caused by wishing it wasn't so? People want what they want, and pretending otherwise, or trying to enforce one's morals on another, serves no useful purpose.

Having the government regulate sex workers is putting limits on what consenting adults can do.
If I want to pay for sex with an untested prostitute what business is it of the government?
poor clueless ppl.. Think about the doctor that did your latest check up.. Or the attorney that fought your case in court.. Maybe the nice old man that works on your car.. Or the man that cuts your lawn.. Dont think that these men dont pay for "mouthwork" as i saw one person state... But dont think that is where it stops.
Think about that nice lady you see playing with her kids when u return home from work each day.. Or maybe one of your wife's best friends... Sex sells people.. Its 2012.. Stop being so blind
yeah sex is a big seller but if not smart it can get u killed
I believe in legalizing prostitution, but if they continue to solicit on the street, it will remain difficult for them to carry cash registers to ring up their sales and not having a file for the receipts, etc. Bring back the old fashioned whorehouse. That way, everyone will have an opportunity to get laid and sex crimes might slacken.

Public health and disease containment. The market for the sort of thing you're talking about (unprotected sex with untested sev worker) is likely very small and made up of people with death wishes anyway. I would guess that most prostitute customers would prefer a tested and protected encounter. That kind of regulation in a legal system would save medical care and enforcement costs. They have a similar system in the porn industry. It's by no means perfect but does help.
I do think, though, that there is a far too relaxed idea about stds in general. Condoms can't protect you from herpes or hpv or even syphilis in some cases. Almost every porn actor has herpes 2 and I would imagine the same for prostitutes. It would be interesting to see a public health study of std transmission in Nevada before and after legalization.
I believe in Sweden it is only illegal to be a John. It is not illegal to be a sex worker.
