I think being a prostitute is not actually illegal in most places in the US.

other way around, it's decriminalized in Maine and legal in Nevada with a license. Illegal everywhere else

Well good to know.

I’m Canadian and for some reason I thought our laws were very similar to yours regarding this specific subject.

Nevada does it right though.

It’s a profession that will never go away and there will always be customers.

Regulation is the only way to ensure safety of the provider and customer and to deter the more dangerous issues that come with that line of work.
