why is something like prostitution illegal?

or if I said massages consider the following.. Divorced, 60, Paralyzed?

seems /feels like another penalty.

now wonder if this is why I was shot so that my very peronal question could be deleted based on a community standard?

Update:

New Zealand ... Interesting!!!! wasn't aware of that in the least, is it taxed? do you have seasons .. there like in the usa??

Update 2:

Interesting thing.. about thats craigslist... I saw on there a few times .. where there was a sting operation in progress. and the guys that made contact were charged with solicitation, filmed / finger printed .. appeared in court .. some even in the new ....

NOT a place I care to see

    prostitution is illegal because the hookers walk the streets, and children usually see them and can pay them for sex. it spreads STDS as well, and the money is getting in the hands of a hooker illegally because the government doesn't get any of the money. there are many of reasons even having sex in a public area. theses things are illgeal for a reason.

    If you come to New Zealand you will find that prostitution is legal. But not so in most countries.

    Because no tax revenue can be drawn from it

    Because some women are envious that nobody will pay them for sex
