The most convincing argument against the commodification of sex is, in my opinion, that such intimacy holds a special enough place in human psychology that even an efficient sex market wouldn't make people happy.

I'm not sure if it's too linked with pair bonding to be its own thing, but that's certainly something to consider.

Still very much in the camp of legalization myself. If only because I can't fathom why the State gives itself the mandate to ban the exchange of this particular service in principle.

If you're not doing this bit in a standup routine, you should be. "It's not cheating honey! It's just the commodification of sex!"

that's exactly what religious conservatives of all sorts say when they want to prosecute extramarital sex

If so, does this contradict the original statement? Just because one group is acting overzealous, it does not imply, that the premise is false.

Neither it implies the premise is true.

Is the even a country with the likes of such a "sex market"? Is it worse or better than others?
