At least here in NSW Australia, it's a legal and licensed industry. I'm friends with several women who work in the industry, some of which have worked overseas in other brothels. One of the interesting things I've found is how well the regulations, according to them, have worked here in Australia. Due to the protections in place, all of them feel safe in the industry and that it's entirely optional and their own decision. I'm sure this isn't universal, but at least after gleaning this information from them I feel like prostitution can be done right if it's regulated correctly. To ease any thoughts of bias, I've never solicited any of their services - this was told to me strictly as a friend, so there was no need to sugar coat things.
