Prostitution being illegal is a shit deal for everyone involved. As long as there are people willing to pay for sex and others willing to have sex those people for the money prostitution will exist. It being illegal just means that it cant be regulated and means all involved are at risk. This is how you end up with bullshit like sex trafficking, the spread of STD's, and all sorts of horrors for the people involved.
Many professions have physical and mental risks just like prostitution but by making it legal the people who choose to do it are safer and can choose to stop whenever they feel, rather than being forced into it by criminal organizations. It also means that the people involved who are rarely a risk to society don't end up in prison which is potentially devastating to the lives of that person and expensive to the tax payer.
