Prostitution is considered the oldest profession in the world. In any major city in the world, prostitution is a way of life and a thriving business. Many argue that prostitution is a victimless crime and should be legalized. In the United States, prostitution is illegal and enforced by law enforcement across the country. “U.S. cities spend an average of $7.5 million to $16 million annually to enforce prostitution laws and combat the negative consequences associated with prostitution” Murphy, L. (2010 p. 785). In other countries, prostitution is legal but often confined to a specific area of ​​the city. The “Red Light District” is probably the most famous area or district in the world, and some believe that America should adopt prostitution laws similar to those in Germany. Those who claim that prostitution is a crime with fewer victims and believe that it should be legalized have turned a blind eye to how it affects relationships, women (prostitutes), the porn industry and consumption of drugs in our society. When comparing prostitution to drug use, many I would argue that drug use causes more harm to society than prostitution. There is no doubt that drugs harm our society, but prostitution is often associated with organized crime. These criminal organizations control the women involved by providing them with drugs to use and/or sell. Prostitutes often choose to use drugs to bring the pain of guilt, shame, or abuse into their lives. An article written by L. Murphy (2010), revealing through research and taking the time to interview twelve women involved in prostitution, revealed that "Ten of the twelve women were currently using drugs, heroin being the drug of choice. Duration of drug use is largely correlated with incidence of prostitution.” It becomes a vicious circle that often comes to a tragic end. It goes without saying that drug use poses health problems. A prostitute who uses drugs has a disease that is likely more prevalent, or even widespread, because she is having sex with "John," causing a greater threat or harm to society. Pornography, like prostitution, is considered a victimless guilty pleasure. Pornography is a billion-dollar industry that society has accepted as a more tolerable form of prostitution. Research by M. Farley, R. Lloyd and SM Berg (2007 p. 2) indicated in their article that "49 percent of 854 prostituted people reported that pornography had been made about them while they were were prostitutes. Just because a woman is considered an actress, and having sex with other actors in the name of art or cinema does not make things acceptable”.
