To me, this sounds like a winning situation because it would certainly decrease the incidence of rampant sexually transmitted diseases on the nighttime circuit and it could cut down on the murder rates of the girls of the night. On the other hand, the moralists vehemently deny that such regulation outweighs the moral degradation that would certainly ensue from such sanctioning. They argue that with the legalization of prostitution, the moral fabric of the country would somehow unwind and families would cease to exist as people went outside their marital bedroom for sexual fulfillment.

This argument falls flat because it basically denies that such excursions go on anyway, even without legalization. I guess they feel that without the penalty of arrest for buying sex then more people would be apt to take advantage of the services being offered. But it seems that if someone secretly fantasizes about going out and buying sex instead of being faithful to their partner, then that hints at issues that are already existent in their marriage and whether or not something is legalized will do little to alleviate those issues. So it seems like making regulations of the industry enforceable is a good thing and the lawmakers should take these arguments under consideration since it has gone on for centuries and will continue to go on with or without their sanction, so they may as well start to reign in the effects of anarchy on the streets.
