Why is short term prostitution illegal but long-term prostitution (dating, marriage

etc) legal? Basically all relationships between men and women involve prostitution. The woman exchanges sex for money, either directly or in the form of goods and services (house, car, flowers, movie, dinner, diamond ring).

Shouldn't all forms of prostitution (hiring a streetwalker, dating, marriage, alimony) be subject to the same legal restraint (or lack of restraint)?

Why is there this false dichotomy imposed legally between short-term and long-term prostitution?

You are so warped and scarred by the goodness of proper marrige not the sham marrige that you see in hollywood. I am offended by your analogy, you are a complete sphincter muscle surrounding an anus.
I hope you never find happiness in the arms of someone who loves you .

I think prostitution although pitiful should be legal. I disagree with your analogy though.
