Simple question.
No. It's not something the government should be sanctioning.

Does the government sanction everything it does not make illegal?
Besides the morality question, there is a nagging problem with legalizing prostitution. How does one observe the prostitute at work to ensure they are working safely? Very few customers would be willing to be observed while having sex, and without watchful eyes, anything can happen, the main issue being condom usage. Plenty of customers would be willing to pay a premium for not using a condom, and the prostitute would pocket the extra gains and not have to share with the brothel owner. STD testing will of course catch a problem, but only after it becomes a problem.
"Sanctioning" may not have been the best word. "Legitimizing" would be better.
How does one observe a masseuse at work to ensure they are working safely and not committing prostitution? Or do you want to ban private massage too?Besides the morality question, there is a nagging problem with legalizing prostitution.

I think it is perfectly legitimate to allow adults to be adults.
Holy crap are you kidding me? Even with legal prostitution most men wouldn't want their wives knowing about it, you think people will want to be on camera, that could be recorded, and used for blackmail? just because it's legal doesn't mean that the brothel owners are decent mom and pop owners, as the wikipedia article on Nevada brothels reports most women working at the brothels claiming exploitation and the use of girls under age 18 in the brothels.I don't know about that. I see nothing wrong with having closed circuit cameras in the rooms of the brothels to monitor what happens in the rooms, and tell the customers about it.
While there may be some customers who wouldn't go to those brothels, I'm sure there will be a number who won't mind it, considering it is a legal form of prostitution and that the evidence from the monitoring will protect them just as much as it would the prostitute.

Simple question.
It's not a victimless crime. People don't get into prostitution because their lives are going well. Would you be ok with someone doing "business" in the house next to yours?
