Here's an interesting thing to consider, Mark.

Consider all other forms of illegal or marginally-legal vice - drugs,
gambling, alcohol (during Prohibition).

Whom do the talking heads and intellectualoids regard as the "heavy"?

The suppliers, of course.  The users are sick people in need of
treatment, but it's the suppliers that should be subject to the heavy
hand of the law.

Now consider prostitution - for the most part, a service that women
provide to men, in exchange for money.

Whom do the talking heads consider to be the heavies?

Why, the users, of course.  These innocent faultless women, who are
only looking to feed their families, after all, wouldn't walk the
streets if there weren't morally-flawed men out there willing to pay
them money.

"Men are qualified for civil liberty in exact proportion to their
disposition to put moral chains upon their own appetites; in proportion as
their love of justice is above their rapacity; in proportion as their
soundness and sobriety of understanding is above their vanity and
presumption; in proportion as they are more disposed to listen to the
counsels of the wise and good, in preference to the flattery of knaves. 
Society cannot exist unless a controlling power upon will and appetite be
placed somewhere, and the less of it there is within, the more there must
be without.  It is ordained in the eternal constitution of things that men
of intemperate minds cannot be free.  Their passions forge their
fetters."
