If they are willing adult (18+) participants I have no issue. So, no pimps or trafficking.

This has little to no effect on trafficking, and if anything, makes it much easier.

This is what I was getting at Soleron.

How would it make trafficking easier?

And while it may not make trafficking harder it will reduce demand as people will not want to break the law now that prostitution is legal.

Like with drugs if you can't stop them take away their market.

Because you create a culture of prostiution and the same corrupt officials that you paying now can complete sweep it under the rug. Look at Holland and you'll see while there are some legit ones, trafficking is a rampant problem.

The people who are pimping girls will now be able to do it while being sanctioned by the state. You allow their business to now be in the open.

Their is already a culture of prostitution in every country in the world and as it will never go away its better to get it out in the open and improve conditions rather than forcing it further underground where conditions get much worse

The pimps who currently occupy the market will either be forced out by new entrants who offer better working conditions or have to offer better working conditions. Yes some will use criminal methods to force girls into remaining under their employ and they should stopped from doing so. And yes corrupt officials can create problems here just like they can create problems anywhere but their likely already taking bribes to overlook prostitution now so they will hardly make a difference with legalization.

And business being in the open is a good thing as their will be the subject of greater levels of scrutiny from the public and potential clients.
