For the record, I would NEVER use the services of a prostitute.

Nor would I. It would be unfaithful to my fiancee and as long as they're illegal, their services won't be safe.
What is safe, however, is the assumption that you can ban the world's oldest profession into oblivion. It won't happen. It can never happen. Best to legalize it, regulate it, and monitor it. It keeps the girls healthy, keeps the patrons responsible and keeps there from being pimps. It's hard to find anything wrong with the Amsterdam system unless you're an uptight prude; in which case I'm bound to disregard your opinion anyway.
