Government should never outlaw or regulate or tax sex between two (or more) consenting adults.
How legal should prostitution be? Please elaborate on your position in the comments.

What if like (many moons ago) myself she insists to go Dutch? Standard no longer applies?The standard is you take a woman out 3 times and expect sex. How much have you paid to get to the end of the 3rd date? Kind of reminds me of paying for sex on a payment plan....And it's all legal;
"At some point, someone decided that guys are supposed to expect sex on the third date. And while this seems to be somewhat common, it might also be an example of self-fulfilling prophecy"
Different standards, different rules.What if like (many moons ago) myself she insists to go Dutch? Standard no longer applies?

While prostitution is legal in nz. Covid has had an effect.
Sex workers are allowed back on the job after alert level 2 guidelines were agreed to by officials and the Prostitutes' Collective to keep workers and their clients safe.
National coordinator Dame Catherine Healy said she had spoken to many sex workers around the country and all of them had been lobbied by clients about returning to work during alert levels 3 and 4.
"There was an impatience there coming in from the clients or a stupidity - I'm not sure which."
In addition, the Prostitutes Collective has issued other guidelines, including no kissing of clients and avoiding other people's breath.
Some sex workers would also wear masks and they were being encouraged to adopt other methods, such as fantasy sessions, that did not involve physical contact.
In brothels each sex worker will have their own room, they will work fewer hours and be careful about social distancing.
During the lockdown, some sex workers applied for assistance under the wage subsidy scheme but there is a wariness about declaring being a sex worker inside a government system, in cases of issues arising such as custody of children and tax.
"Others were not worried about those matters at all and were pleased to receive the assistance."
Healy is expecting a busy time for sex workers. A common concern in many countries, including New Zealand, is that they are not working with enough enough clients. The recent shutdown may change this, she said.
"The number one thing they all say is it's not busy enough ...it's the universal complaint."

If the trade is legal then no more proof of consent is needed than it is to buy a can of coke.Documented consent can be very important in a #metoo (alleged victims must be believed) world. In a what could otherwise become a purely he said/she said situation (with physical evidence of sexual relations) it’s often best to be able to prove consent.
Should that not be up to the worker and the John to decide to take the precaution themselves?Documented consent can be very important in a #metoo (alleged victims must be believed) world.

You can hardly have a metoo claim in prostitution when the prostitute has to pay taxes.

Talking about the sex trade like its a good thing if it werent for those dumb laws making it illegal is...well...tragic.
Prostitution is devastating to most of the people that engage in it. The legal entanglements of arrest are really the least of the concerns. Decriminalizing prostitution is the least harmful measure. It doesnt endorse, but it removes the legal enhancement of damage. The end result will more likely be the most vulnerable will just be completely invisible. As bad as arrest is for a low end prostitute, it often opens the door for social worker/case management interventions.

How do you know they are "consenting adults" and not hostages in a sex ring of some kind?Government should never outlaw or regulate or tax sex between two (or more) consenting adults.
I picked, "other". It should be fully decriminalized, but only for age-appropriate people. Both worker and client must be at least 21.How legal should prostitution be? Please elaborate on your position in the comments.
