So here's a weird argument I encountered - we should legalize prostitution, not for the sake of people hiring prostitutes per se, but so that people can hire courtesans and like? That is, that there's a significant market for 'legal paid companionship short of sex', and that it would be highly beneficial to society as a whole if it were filled. And that the only reasonable way for that to happen is by legalizing prostitution.
What do you think? Sound completely crazy? I'm not sure about it...
