So, I'm a bit confused.  Should I understand that the author disapproves of so called, "prostitution" but does not disapprove of so called, "escort services"?  Why does it matter?  I agree that the law seems to make stupid differences based primarily on economic class, but what is actually wrong with any kind of sex-for-money arrangements?

The only thing I can think of is that it creates a problem in society.  That is, men who have the money to pay for sex get inappropriate expectations of the kind of women they can "attract" while women who exchange their bodies for money create inappropriate incentives for themselves.  That is, there is a huge financial incentive for them to ignore or subvert their own intuition about what's best for them.  On the other hand, the same is largely true for a great many jobs in society in which both men and women engage regularly and those jobs aren't illegal.

I agree that if we weren't constantly bombarded with television and print advertising using the most beautiful women in the world to get us to buy products, then these would indeed be quite valid reasons why prostitution would be bad for society.  But since the advertisers already do the job of the prostitutes for them, there is no ethical reason that prostitution should remain illegal or unethical.  I agree that pimping laws should remain, however, for obvious reasons.

Who disagrees with me and why?
