The legalization of prostitution in the United States would make the profession safer, more profitable and more socially acceptable for all parties involved. Often dubbed “the world’s oldest profession”, prostitution is nothing more than a manual labor job that has been wrongfully stigmatized by society as iniquitous. The stereotyping of prostitution, otherwise known as escorting, only perpetuates the risqué, unsafe, and shameful conditions of said act. Escorting in the United States is…
