Pretty much why they will never legalize prostitution in this country.
Legalize it and it would get the prostitutes off the streets, most would
be more like high end call girls at reasonable prices. Make pimping
illegal so the girls keep their earnings and there would be some real
nice prostitutes out there. But the establishment will never permit it
even though those who have the power to change the law are probably
the best customers of high end call girls.
