Should performing a sexual act on someone else really be classed as illegal if you both consent?

There is a large skeptical view on prostitution, in most countries it is classed as illegal, whereas in other it is seen as a 'profession'.

Are the women who are hired for sexual acts really 'being bad' or are they trying to make a decent living (avoiding taxes!) doing something they are good at?

I have mixed thoughts on the topic myself, i honestly believe that performing sexual acts for money is not right, however if it is performed in a controlled environment, both consent and safe is there really a problem?

What may cause the negative view on prostitution is the topics surrounding it, like its connections with drugs, child abuse etc.
