FOR YOUR REVIEW

1. 
   Do you think prostitution should become legal and regulated? Why or why not?
   
2. 
   The major difference between prostitution and sex resulting from a casual pickup involves whether money is exchanged. Write an essay in which you first take the “pro” side on the following debate question, and then take the “con” side: that prostitution is worse than sex from a casual pickup.
