Hahahahaaa! You gotta read this link! Pretty funny in my opinion.
So it appears in the link above, that prostitution is completely legal in Sweden, but the johns can get busted. LMFAO! I love it!

I fail to see the humor in this.
Criminalizing clients just makes prostitution less safe for the women because now the men have reason to try to shirk screening processes that we use to keep ourselves safe from virtual strangers.
I also personally find it disgusting that they are trying to shame the men who hire prostitutes. Most men I've seen are not weirdo freaks - they're just lonely. They're divorcees, widowers, businessmen who travel all the time, men in high pressure careers who don't have time for a romantic life, disabled guys, socially anxious guys, guys with some form of ED - and yes, married guys who may be more emotionally torn up over the problems in their marriage than people want to give them credit for.... I disagree heavily with the societal stereotype that the majority of men who "purchase sex" are losers who "can't get it elsewhere" or freaky perverts or jerks who just "want" to cheat on their wives and destroy their families because they're "heartless." They hire "other women" for a reason - and that reason is usually more understandable than most want to realize and accept. Regardless of how you personally feel about their actions, I don't think they should be criminalized any more than we should, nor publicly torn to pieces for their transgressions.
This doesn't sound like a good system for anyone.
