Medical Prostitution?

During the days of recent the spilitzer scandal, A reader of Andrew Sullivan's site asked, Why can't there be "medical Prostitution". That is, prostitution be legal for medical requirements. After all, in some states in the U.S. have legalized Marijuana for medicinal use.

This report from TOI confirms that Sullvan's reader definitely has a case,
According to a research from Queen’s University in Belfast, a good morning session at least three times a week, decreases the risk of heart attack or stroke by half and a regular session improves circulation, thereby reducing blood pressure.

According to a study in New Scientist, a steamy session twice a week enhances IgA, an antibody that provides protection against microbes that multiply in body secretions, reports the ‘Sun’. Morning sex also helps in alleviating arthritis and migraine. It burns around 300 calories an hour that simultaneously diminishes the risk of developing diabetes.

Moreover, an American study involving 300 sexually active women whose partners did not use condoms revealed that they were less prone to depression.

Sex increases the production of testosterone that provides stronger bones and muscles thus helping to stave off osteoporosis.

A good morning session can make the hair shine and skin glow by raising the output of oestrogen and other hormones which are associated with it.

According to Yale School of Medicine researchers, having morning sex can aid in averting endometriosis, a condition where the tissue that normally lines the uterus, grows in other parts of the pelvis. [link]

They have medical prostitution in Norway. I'm not sure what conditions are covered, but my Norwegian friends assure me that doctors can prescribe a visit to a "pro" for certain conditions.
