You make a distinction between consensual supply and non-consensual supply, but you don't do the same for demand?
When prostitution is legalized, the distinction then exists for demand.
What has to happen for this to increase trafficking is that non-consensual demand must be bigger than the totality of demand beforehand.
- aninhumer 10y agoI mostly just wanted to raise the point so it doesn't get ignored, and indeed, your argument is the one I would make against that point. However, I don't think it's that simple either. If lack of supply drives up the price significantly, I think it's possible some people will be convinced to visit cheaper illegal establishments on the promise that it's totally consensual, they just don't want to pay taxes etc.
