Although I would never use one's services.

Its a way to cut down on STD transmition, protect women, protect their customers, attack organized crime and reduce the number of criminal acts in society.

There could be multiple classes of licences and they could be aranged so that the women involved are at least 21 and recieve the majority of the income (as opposed to a pimp or madam).

On an ideological level, its the societial reconizition that women posess their own bodies, as opposed to their husbands, families and churches.

One final advantage is that it can be kept away from young children and out of sight of the general public by prohibiting loud signage.

I realy can't see a downside.
