I have some personal moral issues with
prostitution, but don't think that it should
be particularly discriminated against, as a profession.
All the same, like many other professions, there are
some serious effects - many psychological. Any regulation
of prostitution should probably take this into account, and
make certain that adequate counseling is available. I've seen
the same effects on strippers though, and would advocate that
they too have such resources made available.
