I support legalized prostitution, but more on the grounds that the government shouldn't insert itself in anything and everything that gives enjoyment and decent living standards.

Legalization advocates just need to keep in mind that regulations and laws raise production costs, which makes the black markets more likely to compete with legal markets by offering a lower price.

Just don't let politictians go wild with their paternalism and dollar sign eyes and the black market will fade.

Illegal prostitution rings would lose business if it was legalized. Not totally, but enough that they aren't financially viable or worth the risks.

How many moonshine rings do you see? When Colorado first legalized pot, the legal dispenseries faced a lot of competition from the old dealers, but prices have fallen to the point where it isn't worth going to an illegal dealer over a legal seller. This is a bit different as it's still a federal crime, so these businesses have to charge a little more since it's hard to get business loans and investors sometimes, but the general trend of black market business decreasing has occured.
