    So, to clarify. Sweden has for a very long time a system where buying sex is illegal but selling sex is legal. This is to make sure the man buying is considered criminal and the woman selling a victim. This new ban is just a way to keep it that way online as well.

    What becomes illegal is paying for custom personalized performances (because a man can say “I’ll give you $1000 if you stick this painful thing up your ass”, which can be a difficult request to deny if you are poor), but selling prerecorded stuff will not be banned.

      Men (and other genders) are sex workers also. This is not a man/woman thing, this is a power imbalance thing.
