Sex work cannot be abolished. Outlawing sex work will just result in a black market for sex work. This is the worst outcome.
In a Communist society, without money, there would be little need for prostitution except in times of scarcity; there's little that can be done to prevent prostitution in times of scarcity, as there will always be bartering in a black food market.
The issue today and in these situations is that sex work is, typically, a thing that poor and oppressed people do to get by. They'd rather not be prostitutes but they have to, to pay the bills. In a Communist society, poor people would not need to prostitute themselves to pay the bills, which means that only people who enjoy sex work would practice it. Legalization means that slowly, sex work is de-stigmatized.
A good question is: in a moneyless society, is commissioning a prostitute free? What decides how time with a prostitute is apportioned? Lots? Rations?
Yes, but coercive sex work should not.
