Of course prostitution should not be illegal. Rather, it should be made impossible and inconceivable. To get to the heart of my point, sex with a person you're paying to have sex with you cannot be consensual. This shouldn't be a controversial statement. In no ideal society should rape be not only commonly accepted, but systematic and institutionalized. That's all.
In other words, insofar as there exist "illegal" acts, prostitution should be seen as a "legal" but unfortunate side effect of some failure in the way the society is structured.
