Prostitution is illegal which we understand colloquially, if you understand and read the law relating to prostitution you will find that primarily they are referring to female prostitutes who are soliciting clients, but practically it is difficult to arrest someone for male prostitution for some procedural flaws and deficiency in substantive laws in this regard, anyway hat's off to you for your choice of work.
