I know the Red Pill likes to focus on game and women, but there are broader societal issues (in the U.S and similar places anyway) concerning men that contribute to the hunger and desperation of betas, and one of them is surely the forbidding of prostitution by law.

Now that I know that you can technically still engage the services of a escort, but the fact that the law forbids it -- and that you can be arrested for it -- pretty much casts a dark pall over the proceedings and affects for the worse the quality of the women available for such services and truly deters many men who would otherwise just engage the services of a slut on a friday evening rather than trolling some bar.

But I've realized something though: No one who is against men having the option of plain and direct purchasable sex will phrase their objection in such a way as to indicate they are for restricting men's freedom to buy sex.

They will not say "prevent men from being able to buy sex!" They will say "fight human trafficking!" or paint prostitutes as absolute victims of pimps or as desperate drug addicts.

You see, society has become too liberated over the past fifty years as to make religious prudes (who want to fight prostitution for religious reasons) and feminists (who want to fight prostitution because patriarchy) too self-conscious to openly and plainly talk about restricting sexual freedom.

Here's an example. A few months back, 104 men in some county in New York were busted for soliciting the services of prostitutes:

There was actually some backlash in a few media outlets as to make the DA (a woman) feel the need to justify herself in an opinion editorial. The language she used was entirely one of concern for the prostitutes, whom she paints as being mostly victims, drug addicts, children, etc:

She paints it as inconceivable that any normal woman would use her body to directly earn money as a sex object, never mind the fact that prohibition itself is what causes only the most desperate to enter that profession! In short, this DA's language is the language that organizations that claim to fight "human trafficking" mostly use, but they're real objective is only to deny the masses of men the option of legal purchasable sex because, by and large, women don't want to legalize prostitution for reasons of their own sexual strategy.

Prostitution remains illegal because the average woman by and large desires it to remain illegal.
