  • You’re actually among a lot of “great minds” in coming to this conclusion! The earliest person I’m aware of to write this down was St. Augustine:

    Remove prostitutes from human affairs, and you will unsettle everything because of lusts

    Simone de Beauvoir writes about societies who implement this concept to varying degrees, from a simple “sex work is a necessary evil but we will still treat sex workers as subhuman” to at least a few socities who treated sex workers as near a legitimate labor force as you can imagine, with the ability to deny consent, maternity leave, wages high enough to make them upper middle class, and other things like that.
