Look, I don't get your logic here. You can't argue that something beisng illegal bmecaunse it doesn't sell, ithat just doesn't make any sense. Plenty of people prostitute, even knowing it's illegal, because it _*does_* sell.


 
And the same regressive/repressed people who fight to make prostitution illegal frequently try to do the same to porn (look up the history of things like obscenity laws and so forth), they just haven't been as successful because attitudes stigmatizing porn aren't as strong, and because First Amendment challenges protect a lot of porn from would-be morality police.
