No-one enters into prostitution willingly or happily for good reasons and there's never a good ending. PIMPS are mostly placing those ads, not your strange vision of freely-enterprising women happily renting out their bodies. They are given quotas to fill and they are kept "under control" by hooking them on hard drugs. If widespread anecdotal evidence is to be believed, there are at least some and probably many women who enter prostitution willingly and happily. Some of the ads are placed by pimps but it also provides a way for women to work without intermediaries. You claim that prostitution damages society which might be true but, on the other hand, prostitution has always coexisted with society, sometimes legally, sometimes through organized religion (believe it or not), and currently in most of the United States and various other parts of the world, it's illegal. In Canada, for example, prostitution itself is not illegal but various activities (soliciting on the street, pimping etc) are. I'm not saying that prostitution is a good thing or that it should be encouraged, but it's certainly nowhere near as black and white as some of the anti-prostitution campaigners like to claim.
