If a girl has sex with a guy in France and he gets prosecuted then surely the girl is complicit in the crime and should be prosecuted as well. It's like prosecuting people for taking drugs but not for supplying them.
This law is not good for sex workers. Their income will dry up because their customers will be too scared to purchase sex. Trafficking and underage girls should have laws targeting those specific offenders.
In recent years many politicians have pushed through laws aimed at stopping prostitution by busting the buyers. You read about stings on Back Page, etc.
You would think by now that people would realize that prostitution is never going to end. They don't call it the oldest profession for no reason.
We will see if the French are really interested in enforcing such a law. But consider this, I never in my life have offered a woman money for sex. No reason to. I always treat all women like civilians, and in all situations.
If a woman asks me for money for sex, and if she is a cop, then that is entrapment.
.. meanwhile, I am sure, the wealthy and powerful and connected men all use private escort agencies where all the sponsors and providers are vouched by one another and are shielded from law enforcement.

Seems like discrimination against men.
Can women pay for sex legally?

We should already know this, thanks to Comrade Engels.
