Legal Situation: Prostitution itself is technically
legal, but several surrounding activities are outlawed which make it hard to
work legally. It is illegal to solicit or advertise or run a brothel (= place
where more than one girl works). It is also illegal to kerb-crawl. A more
detailed analysis of
the legal situation is available.
There are rumors that prostitution is
tolerated in Scotland; the bordellos are called 'Saunas' there.
Organizations working for the complete legalization of prostitution in the UK include the Corrective Party, run by an ex-pro (Lindi St. Clair).
The age of consent: 16 for heteros, 18 for gays.
Hard-core pornography is illegal; strip tease dancers cannot show pussy.
