Does legalizing amount to endorsement?

It turns out people are more willing to seek help when they're not afraid of being arrested.
It makes perfect sense when you think about it. Do you imagine the same applies to sex work?

Maybe, but I'm not sure it's quite exactly the same.

Right, it's not exactly the same. I am less certain about prostitution than drugs, because the potential for harm seems great. That's why I've invested some minimal effort into researching what sex workers have to say about it. You've seen the links I've shared on the topic, I think. It seems like the women who are willing to discuss the topic want sex work to be legal.
I hope to get some more input from you all than just upvotes/ignores. That's one reason I opend this thread. If we can debunk the idea that legalization would encourage more of it then maybe some people's worries can be soothed with reason.
