I think this is the main reason so many ladies who escort only want decriminalization instead of legalization and regulation of the business. A woman would make very little with a lot less control of her working conditions should she have to deal with brothels and be licensed for all of the public to find if a background check was done. I highly doubt if it was legalized they would listen to the escorts themselves on how to regulate, it will then be in the hands of those who would either design it so that a woman would be dissuaded to work at all in a legalized setting, or those who are simply looking to be a big business pimp/manager in a brothel and nickel and dime her to death.

They live almost like slaves, having to please the owners every whim to keep their jobs. Wouldn't be very discrete for clients either. Everyone can see who goes into a legal house. All we need to decriminalize prostitution, so we don't have to worry about being arrested. Sites like Eccie would provide input about which providers to patronize and which to avoid, just like it does now. In fact, we could concentrate more on picking the right ladies, because we wouldn't have to worry about being arrested. That would be much more comfortable for both parties. Governments might then put officers to work fighting real crime or just save the money they have been wasting fighting prostitution.
