You've got that backwards. In Sweden, buying is illegal, selling is not. Essentially turning the customer into a rapist and the seller into a victim. And rightly so! Considering that most women selling sex are doing so because of human trafficking, or at least coercion or desperation, it's cruel, immoral, and ironic that they are criminalized in the rest of the world outside of Sweden and the other countries that have followed their model.

Men who pay for sex are the driving force behind human trafficking.

I think you are agreeing with the post above yours. They said that selling sex is legal, while buying is not.

Yes. My mistake. Thanks.

That's exactly what I said. I'll just quote myself here:

Selling sex is legal, buying is not.

Apologies. I swear I reread your comment 3 times, and each time I replaced legal with illegal in my mind. I see it now!
