Emma B - it's not just on the women. It's illegal for prostitutes to solicitise... that includes male ones.

Although having said that we looked at a case once when I was dstudying law... the male prostitutes hadn't got prosecuted because the law reffered to 'common prostitutes' and that was decided to be women not men... but after that case it was changed.

But yes... the law does pin everything on the prostitue... whether they are male or female.

And yes - legalising it would probably be a really good idea but I bet it's not going to happen.
