I have always thought it would be a good idea to legalize prostitution and regulate it. Clearly, prostitution still happens despite the fact that it's banned. It's not very safe, many prostitutes get caught up in drugs, get abused, and obviously STD's are a thing. In fact, a lot of children get caught up in it as well. It's a very dangerous profession, because instead of regulating it, it is simply illegal.
I see no reason for this act to be illegal, so long as the sex worker is consenting on their own.
So, to answer your question, I completely agree. Not only do I think prostitution regulations are possible, I think we'd be better off.
For starters, get the kids out of the business. It breaks my heart how common it is for young girls to get caught up in this.
Then, have some kind of legal institution ready to take action if the prostitutes are abused.
And finally, require some safety measures against the spread of STI's.
I do think that if we legalize and regulate prostitution, thousands of women(and men) would be safer.
