Should it be illegal to buy sex?

I have been reading the posts, and one thing that I have noticed, and that is they are all about the males buying and the females selling.

The subject of women buying off gigolos has only been lightly spoken of, but they must surely come under the same laws, they flaunt themselves under the name of male escort agencies. Now let’s be fair, because I cannot believe that a young woman would pay £200 for an escort for the evening, wouldn’t want a little more than a £20 meal and a few dances afterwards.

I have a policeman friend that was in the armed forces with me, he has told me that they know of all the prostitutes and all the whore houses in his City. Although the only people that seem to be prosecuted are the curb crawlers, the reason being the police very rarely use entrapment or the like, we only like to go after the eastern trafficking. This brings me to the point of asking, if the police know all this information why haven’t they closed it down, but then my friend did say with idiotic conviction, “At least we know where they are.” This leads me to believe that the overworked British Police Force, are by themselves legalising it.

This leads me to believe that the overworked British Police Force, are by themselves legalising it.

Or it could simply be that they don't want to take the chance on sweeping up some police superintendents or MP's during a raid on a brothel. At least on the streets they're only inconveniencing the lower classes.

I find the whole concept of trying to stop all prostitution to be stupid and dangerous. People are going to pay for sex. Always have, always will. Legalizing it allows for safer conditions for both the prostitutes and their clients. Then you can let the police clean up the streets and the illegal houses.
