 Everything should be legal untill made illegal. This is the natural order of things... Always has been. 
The problems come when a population believes they have only the rights bestowed on them. This is dictatorship.
If prostitution isn't illegal then its legal and the question becomes should we continue to have a right to prostitute ourselves? Feel free to interpret prostitution as widely as possible.
 Its not easy being me 🤪

 Something being legal does not mean it is a positive right. Food is legal, yet you don't have a "right" to it. You have to earn it.

 Your answer seems to work. Which comes first though (a priori)?
I suppose the thing comes into existence and law grows around it. From prostitution to AI, this all seems to hold.
AI is legal and yet there's a huge rush to "Law" it. Why is the question on prostitution not settled long b4 now?. All I'm saying is there's a natural order and going against that is anti-human expression and requires coercion and control. There are many ways to "prostitute " oneself.
