Why is prostitution illegal?

Because the people who make laws have daughters.

because government can't easily tax it and control over something as natural and historical as trading goods for pleasure is control over man itself

because muh Bible, literally

That isn't quite it. Men will always work even when there are whores. It is just that they aren't going to be locked down by some meh girl because she is the only fuck they can get.

Availability of sex for low-tier and average guys means that women who want a relationship have to offer more than their body. It isn't really that complex.

Astute.

Because the price of pussy would bottom out. You can also thank the Kennedy family. No not JFK, before that.

Most decent people dont want legalized prostitution...whores hanging around on corners etc. But in reality its a bit like weed its illegal but police turn a blind eye. In Asia its technically illegal but every damn street has some kind of brothel...massage parlour etc.

No sane man would have a permanent partner and subsequently a family user.

Just get a fleshlight. It's better than the real thing once you warm it up a bit.

Not exactly. It's a county decision that can be overridden by local municipalities, and only if the county has 700k or fewer residents (eg, Clark county which holds Las Vegas, and Washoe county which holds Reno can't even though they both wants to.) Nevada has 10 counties where it's legal, only 7 of which have open brothels. 7 counties have it banned outright (mostly because of the before mentioned census rules.)
