Functionalists believe everything happens for a reason. For example Functionalists believe that crime is a good thing because
Rules are necessary for a society to function.
Rules are achieved thru socialization,
Without the example of those who didn't conform to the rules,
rules would not be able to be made.
Therefore, a society couldn't properly function.
Since prostitution is a crime, functionalist would say a society needs it because it creates rules.

Prostitution therefore justifies the police, courts and laws. As well as promoting morals and education.

A structural functionalist would argue that prostitution serves a function in society by providing a means for individuals to fulfill their sexual desires. They may view it as a form of social control, where it helps maintain order by providing an outlet for those who may otherwise engage in deviant behavior.

Can you rent out the flat for prostitution in Iceland?

Strictly speaking, if I understand the question correctly, no you can not rent out your flat for prostitution. Icelandic law states that prostitution is legal as long as no one else (a third party) benefits financially from it. But it is hardly enforcable because you could always say that you had not known that the person renting the apartment would be using it for prostitution. As a "landlord" it is really none of your business what the tenant uses the apartment for as long it is not used for illegal purposes. And you could as well argue that hotels that rent a room to a prostitute would be breaking the same law.

What does prostitution literally mean?

"Prostitution" means literally "causing to stand out front", which is to say "exposing publicly [to potential customers]". It comes from the Latin verb statuere "to cause to stand" plus the prefix pro-, "in front". Etymologically, prostitution is not something you do, but something that is done to you.
