personally, i do have a problem with prostitution.
on a moral level, some girls are forced into the trade. a lot of other would rather be doing something else but have to for financial reasons. having sex with someone who is doing so under duress doesn't work for me.
but on a self-perception level, and this is what i really don't get about people who frequent prostitutes: what does it say about you the client? that you can attract a woman with money? wow... is that the extent of your game? for me, obtaining a lady's favors is a huge ego boost. somehow bypassing that with money would make me feel... cheap.
then there's the health concerns. condoms are very effective, but not perfect.
i've been plenty intoxicated and/or horny and had all sorts of pay-for-play offers made to me (especially in developing countries, where prices were low)... and not once did i think it would have been a good idea.
