> The few people who enjoy sex work are not enough to satiate demand for sex workers, especially if it's legal. It doesn't make sense to say demand is strictly greater than supply.[1] Supply and demand aren't fixed quantities, they're each mediated by price. There's some price at which the two achieve equilibrium. That price might be sufficiently high that there would still remain a black market retaining much of the social ills associated with the current illegal practice. But this is a bit of a tangent. Sorry for the econ nitpick, carry on. [1] Well, in a sense demand is always greater than supply among useful goods and services. It's true of sex, but also of socks, nannies, and cocoa. It's called "scarcity."
