I don't see a lot of difference between prostitution and some other jobs.

Stripping could be classed as 'selling your body for cash' as the clients are paying to look at your body. Same with playboy models etc. Then you have a masseuse or a physiotherapist who rubs your body for money. I'm not saying it is sexual, but it is physical contact. So if you combine the naked dancers/models job with those, you get nakedness and touching, which is really the basis of prostitution.

If the women in the industry are over 18, and doing the job of their own free will, then I see no problem at all. There are kids on the streets just now who are shockingly young, and if the whole business was legalised and above board, they would not be working in the brothels.

I personally would not like prostitution to be my job, but if a grown woman chooses that as her job, then that is her choice.

On a side note, I also think Marijuana should be legal. There are bigger issues for the police to concentrate on. Wasting time busting someone for half a joint seems like a massive waste of time to me.
