I've asked this question many times. What part of prostitution is illegal? the sex or the money?

I can give someone $100 for no reason at all, in fact I did, I walked past a homeless dude and gave him a C note, no issues.

A woman can screw a stranger whenever she wants, no issues.

Give a woman a $100 and she screws you? Issues. Why, what part is illegal? The sex or the money? Is it illegal if two people meet and have sex? No, if those same two people meet and have sex and one of them gets paid? Yes? Why? What if payment is in a form other than money, so, have sex and go to dinner? Go to dinner and have sex? What if the bloke buys the girl a car? Still illegal?

I know with drugs it's easy to tell, the drugs themselves are illegal, the money part is not, so possessing drugs or giving drugs away for free or selling drugs, they are still illegal, so it's easy to break it down, the illegal component to the transaction is the drugs, not the money, no part of illegal drugs is legal at all, not the giving or selling or possession.

But with prostitution, it can't be broken down into parts, exchange of money is not illegal and consensual sex is not illegal on their on, but for some reason together they are.

When applied to shooting, shooting a gun is not illegal, murder is, so whether you are paid to shoot some one or not, the murder component is always illegal.

I can see selling minors for sex is illegal, because although the exchange of money remains legal on it's own, the sex with a minor is never legal whether it's free or not.

I'm surprised the US hasn't taken advice from NZ, a few years ago our government commissioned a report on how much tax revenue they were losing out on, they soon decided to make prostitution legal and taxable, to the surprise of many, the World did not end, nothing changed except the government gets more money, prostitution (Sex worker is the term they use here) is a job choice and the women are also more likely to report abuse and get shitheads off the street now that they are not too scared to talk to the cops.

Still, something that in and of itself is not illegal and is in fact a natural human interaction (sex) is made illegal if it is paid for, I'll never understand it.
