It is legal to be a prostitute provided you do not give customers enjoyment.

In Sweden, it’s legal to be a prostitute wether you provide pleasure or not. The ruling opinion is that if there is a victim in sex trade, it’s the seller and not the buyer. In other words, buying sex is illegal, and also profiting directly from someone elses prostitution (pimping). I really don’t see any point in further victimising prostitutes by sending the police after them. The sex industry is repulsive, but only because of how prostitutes get used for other peoples pleasure. Nothing stupid about this law at all.

Oh wow, I suppose there always has to be the one person who ruins it for everyone…

Theodor, we cant read anything about Sweden on this site without you putting your two-cents in can we. Everyone agrees that the sex industry is foul, but this is not that kind of site, this is just for a bit of fun, so please exert your testoterone-fueled authoritarianism elsewhere.

Thank you,

What theodor says is true. The law here doesnt exist – its legal to be a prostitute in sweden, but its illegal to buy sex
