Yes, because it's ILLEGAL

Take away the illegality and render it just another business transaction and you remove pimps, sex-slavers and organized crime from the picture-almost entirely (and those that remain will in turn be hunted by a much more focused and less-overworked set of vice officers) and canny professional sex-workers would be among the most economically-independent women in the country. It's the same as drugs: The only reason violent crime is connected is because something both eternal (it's not called the world's oldest profession for nothing) and innevitable has been set against the law by anachronistic morality.

"2.) Ban all married men (or women) from serving in elected office above the rank of State Senator. We already require that elected officials not hold compromising posts in the private sector, what is more compromising (or private, for that matter) than a marriage and/or family? What would you honestly rather have: A married president potentially hampered or distracted by "trouble at home" or a single president operating with the mental focus of a man who has the relative comfort of regular sex (see above if necessary) and a lack of job-superceding emotional commitments?"

So, are you saying Barack Obama is a bad president because he's a husband and father?

That would be more accurate.
