The Nordic model of prostitution laws?

In Canada and several northern European countries (thus it is called the Nordic model), laws have been recently adopted that make it illegal to purchase sexual services but it still remains legal to sell sexual services. Can anyone explain the practical implications of these laws?
For example, could a prostitute openly sell sexual services (with legal impunity) and then have the customer arrested for purchasing such services? I know that these laws were motivated by efforts to reduce exploitation of the sellers (typically women) but it seems like a confusing double standard.
Got something to say?
