to stop the abuse.
We regulate a ton of stuff that adults could do because we as a society have decided that the risks outweigh the liberty. We require motorcycle helmets and seat belts by law to try to minimize damaged people. We have minimum driving ages and for some professions like pilots, maximum flying ages.
We have thousands of what you obviously want to call "nanny state" laws and while I don't agree with all of them, I do agree that prostitution must be illegal and not for religious reasons but because too many people get hurt. Far more get hurt than are simply consensual adults. Since we (the royal we) can't be trusted to regulate ourselves when it comes to exploitative sex, laws are made, same as we can't trust people to buckle up or drink and drive or (insert your pet peeve here).
