The only good argument I've seen for prostitution is that it makes sex easy for men to acquire, and therefore weakens the effect of Briffault's Law by giving women a stronger incentive to be decent to men.
Other than that, I think that the traditional family unit is superior in all relevant regards and that even premarital sex is somewhat unethical under normal contexts. My girlfriend and I do it, but that's because we're living in a sewer (modern society) and neither of us were virgins when we met anyway. But in most societies, men and women got married young, as virgins, and they had lower divorce rates and higher fertility rates.
I agree with everything except the "no sex before marriage" aspect. People can be entirely compatible emotionally, intellectually and in all other facets but they can be totally non compatible sexually. In which case now they've just found out after promising to god that they will spend their life together.
That's a good point. They could add a vetting process though. An immune system gene test for example; people with compatible immune genes are actually better sexual partners.
