A net negative how? Because it's a non-necessary service? Then it's as much of a negative as nice restaurants or TV shows are. It's just supply and demand. There's demand for sex work, so there's a supply of sex work. Criminalizing sex work just makes life harder for sex workers. They have to dodge cops constantly, and they have trouble getting healthcare. If they get in trouble, they can't call the police. It's a free country ­— let them do their jobs in peace. If they'd rather have a different job, they can switch careers on their own, without getting arrested. "But what about sex trafficking victims?" Sex trafficking victims will have a lot less trouble going to the police if they're not at risk of having charges pressed against them for being prostitutes.
