Pornography is substantially more destructive than prostitution on both the individual and societal level, simply due to having a much lower barrier of entry. For example, ten year-old boys obviously don't have the means or opportunity to hire prostitutes, but all they need is a smartphone/tablet to start consuming hardcore pornography. The result is that pornography is consumed on a shockingly wide spread level, with a rate of participation far in excess of the small minority of men who utilize the services of prostitutes. The negative externalities created by pornography are overall far worse. Furthermore, regulating prostitution in brothels makes it easier to track and regulate.
