There is nothing wrong with Porn & Prostitution

[Prophet 451]

94. In principle, I agree with you

In principle, there is nothing wrong with either activity. Both are pretty much as old as civilization and have existed in virtually all cultures in some form. But I would suggest that what we're talking about here is how we should regulate both activities when done for a profit, whether we should ban every exhibitionist with a webcam or regulate the production of commercial porn to include rubbers, STD checks, profit sharing (pretty much everyone in porn is underpaid) and so on.

Likewise, with prostitution, the question is how we regulate it to minimize or (preferably) eliminate abuses like trafficking, slavery and pimping. To my admittedly inexpert eye, the scenario where prostitutes had to be licensed and work out of licensed brothels seemed to get it right.
