Yes, prostitution is very different from a massage, unless you're frequenting a Happy Endings type of spa.  LOL 

Perhaps your point is that prostitution involves a value exchange and, as such, is the equivalent to any other type of value exchange?

Yes, that's a good way of putting it.  When I go to a massage parlor, I exchange money for a certain type of pleasure, a massage.  If I were to visit a prostitute, I exchange money for a different type of pleasure, sex.  So, there are two different types of pleasure that are being exchanged, yet one is legal and the other is not.  Are these two types of pleasure really different in an objective way?

Is prostitution really that different from a massage?  A masseuse and a prostitute both get paid to give a client pleasure.  Is the prostitute really that different in that she gives sexual pleasure?
