"You can make prostitution illegal.....
but you can't make it unpopular."
So said a mayor of New Orleans around the time the legal prostitution district of Storyville (adjacent to the French Quarter), which was in existence from 1897 to 1917. The quote comes from "Empire of Sin--A Story of Sex, Jazz, Murder, and The Battle for Modern New Orleans." Even though I have lived during 50 years of change in civil rights, same-sex marriage, and decriminalization of marijuana, I do not expect to see legalization of prostitution in my lifetime. The USA is a "third-world" country when it comes to sexual attitudes.
