Ricardo--- If the costs of doing something are lowered, one gets more of that activity(up to some saturation point). Criminalization imposes costs on prostitution. Legalization would lift those costs. Therefore, one would get more of whatever prostitution leads to. An interesting aside---- The introduction of widely available birth control actually increased the rate of teen pregnancy. Why? Because it made for a lot more sexual activity, and because teens are very careless about contraception. Another interesting aside---- The Sexual Revolution has created whole new strains of gonorrhea and syphilis that are resistant to anti- biotics, by speeding up the process of natural selection, so that medical attention is no guarantee that legalized prostitution would be cleaner. Besides, many customers will pay extra to ride "bare- backed"...
