Oh, I don't think there's any way to completely control it, but I do think that offering prostitution from legitimate, tested, regulated business establishments will drastically cut down on the sort of illegal prostitution which ends up getting girls killed and leaving 'Johns' with STDs.
I imagine folks who utilize the service won't stop being unsavory and generally slimeballesque, but as far as an 'efficient market' goes, I would assume that those principles would lie here, just as they lie just about everywhere else. I'm also quite sure that there would still be a significant amount of illegal prostitution, but the illegal stuff would be highly disincentivized due to readily available, legal, safer alternatives.
But then again, my life experience doesn't grant me much insight into this world, so perhaps some of my premises are fundamentally flawed.
