Legalization Of Prostitution

I think that prostitution should be legalized, because I fail to understand the rationale behind its ban.
Someone (Be it a man or a woman) who decides that he/she is going to become a prostitute has every right to do so. Obviously, for the sake of our children, I believe that prostituion must be confined in certain geographic areas where it doesn't interfere with our normal life.

The thing about prostitution is that it is more present than we usually admit. When a woman decides to marry a man without loving him a bit, but just for his money, isn't that legalized prostitution? The young men who decide to make a living as professional jigolos, aren't them prostitutes. So, the prostitutes we are preventing from doing prostitution are the most honest of the category because they openly assume their position.

The Spitzer case should trigger a global discussion on this very important topic.
