[Aquinas] notes that the state should allow fornication and prostitution to exist for the sake of the common good. Relying on the well-known passage from Augustine’s De ordine, Aquinas advocates tolerance of prostitution by noting: “Accordingly in human government also, those who are in authority rightly tolerate certain evils, lest certain goods be lost, or certain evils be incurred: thus Augustine says [De ordine 2.4]: ‘If you do away with harlots, the world will be convulsed with lust.’” If these social practices were to be suppressed, the public reaction might be such as to threaten the peace of society.

Perhaps I should have added in my posts that I'm pretty anti-prostitution, but also think criminalization may have caused more harm.
Particularly I don't understand why some MGTOWs for example promote "escorts"... like, keep the hard earned money. Can't see women's "services" being worth some of the rates these women want to charge. Only inflates their egos and feeds feminism. Of course I'm against the activity as being sinful as well.
