The odd thing about this topic is that I think nobody has articulated the fear of legalizing sex work well.
The reason most men don't want to make sex-work legal, deep down, maybe so deep they don't realize it, is because sex holds such symbolic importance in our society.
The fear is that legalizing sex work would have the side effect of morally legitimizing sex work (i.e. making it less shameful), which in turn would push us a bit more toward a world where we might see the people hiring numerous sex workers as a status symbol rather than a shameful secret.
Imbalance in wealth is a loaded topic. But imbalance in sexual satisfaction is a much heavier one, particularly for those at extremes.
That said, I don't have an overall opinion on the issue, this is just to try to elevate the debate.
