Do divorce rates go down if prostitution becomes legal?

Expect this to be a very deep thread.


Updated with my thoughts:
There’s enough evidence of mostly positive effects, including STDs, divorce rates, and broken homes since legalization. Look at Austria and Germany. Lower STDs because the industry is regulated with regular testing just like buying booze vs moonshine during prohibition. Or more recently, buying weed and getting something laced with fentanyl.

As for divorce rates, it seems like men hurry to get married before they get older because of several things, like parental pressure/expectations and let’s all be honest here, a regularly available supply of sex on demand from someone you at least once found attractive, especially as you get older.

Most marriages don’t last because the attraction inevitably goes away for most marriages, and that is the point here. If you commercialize that industry, there’s less demand for dating for men not seriously interested and the prices come way down because of less risk and availability.

Women (who have a natural instinct to have kids which requires marriage for support) become less selective because men can skip the fuss and go straight to the source for relief instead of betting on their life earnings on something that is statistically not likely to work out in the heat of the honeymoon period.

So things actually become more balanced in the sense that people who are actually interested in getting married and having kids are the ones more likely to have long life marriages because they want more than sex, whether they confuse those urges with something else or not.

And did I mention massively reducing unemployment?
