Whilst selling your body for sex is legal, running a brothel or selling other people for sex are illegal.

Pornography is also legal.

Note that all this is for those 17 or over (17 being our age of consent).
Please note that Mid Lothian is based on fantasy. Any references to anything/one/where that exists is completely coincidential.

I am usually rewriting stuff about Mid Lothian - just because it's true today isn't necessarily true tomorrow.

Brothels are regulated and financially supported, an overall good but way to short step against illegal forced prostitution, and street prostitution (which, while not by itself illegal, is often coupled with crimes like fraud, mugging and mayhem and often forced, too).

Prostitution is SOMEWHAT legal, though only Reptilian or Dinosaur females can become prostitutes, while only Adult Reptilian and Saurian pornography is legal.

Whoring in our nation is technically illegal, but the police aren't going to bother arresting anyone for it unless they become a public nuisance.

There is little to no sex industry in Al-Aqaiya, due to stiff penalties for prostitution and widespread socially conservative attitudes in the nation. On occasion, members of the military do patronize call girls while deployed overseas for an extended amount of time. Pornography is completely illegal in all 6 caliphates; however, a bill was introduced into the Senate of the Levant Caliphate that would legalize pornographic material. In the island Territories of Ilkaria and Salos pornography is legal for viewers age 21 and older. In fact, internet users from other provinces have sometimes used proxies based in these insular regions of the Emirate in order to bypass content filters in their home province.

Prostitution is only legal between the ages of 21 and 35 - a pretty harsh restriction considering the age of majority here is 16. Pornography is legal as long as it does not contain any of the following:

* Animals
* Faeces
* Urine
* Menses
* Corpses
* Participants below the age of 15 (male) or 16 (female)

Regarding the animals, it is meant that animals may not participate or observe - if a sparrow happens to fly by the window, so be it, that doesn't make it illegal.

Oh, and although public sex is not illegal, pornography may not be shot in public, although the act is only criminal while being done - unlike the other bans, people who watch public pornography cannot be punished and nor can the film team once it has finished filming.

It may furthermore be watched by any person above the age of 9. Below that age, the parents or guardians of the person in question may be fined with up to Ł300

Prostitution is legal in most places, but heavily taxed and highly disouraged. A few states and municipalities regulate the practice for health purposes, but most don't bother. In the states of Arolinea, Sânctifrancisca, Sorvrina, Enscirya, and Vortisia, prostitution is illegal.

Pornography is legal in general, but child and bestiality pornography are not.

Radictistan is home to a large, legal, and regulated sex industry. Prostitution is a common way for working class and lower middle class women to pay for their university studies. The Radictistani government tries to discreetely promote the country as a destination for sex tourism.

At this very moment, there are people complaining about Gaddaffi through the use of their signature. If you wish to criticize Gaddaffis' government even though it won't make a difference to anyone and say that you support the Libyan civilians even though all you do is put a signature on a random forum, then copy paste this into your signature!

Prostitution is permitted in Turmoilandia, as long as it is kept private. Brothels tend to be inconspicuous and generally spread by word of mouth.

Street prostitutes are likely to be prosecuted for public indecency.

It is not against the law to purchase the services of a prostitute in Turmoilandia, but it is unlawful for a prostitute to sell her services in public. Thus, the prostitute will be prosecuted, but not her customer. However, a man who is known to have purchased a prostitute's services is not going to be well received for doing so. Some employers have even been known to fire their employees because they were caught seeing a prostitute and thus immoral.

There are rumors that many members of the Legislature frequent a brothel in New Turmoil allegedly owned by the President's younger brother, but that is considered to be an unsubstantiated conspiracy theory. If this turned out to be true (it is just a vicious slander), it would destroy the careers of all involved.

Money isn't used here, so prostitution is impossible. However we do have brothels consisting of individuals that simply desire to do such things for fun. The taboo on sexual relations is long gone in Threlizdun.

Prostitution is legal, though all involved must first obtain a license (Which involves consent forms, etc), and submit to monthly testing for diseases.
Pornography is unregulated.

Should anyone be forced to engage in sexual activities against their will, the aggressor will be charged for rape.

Only, people with special permits are allowed to practice prostitution (you know, because of STDs) they must renew the permit every 3 months, it is free, the only thing they must do is check themselves for STDs or other anomalies.

rape is 235% illegal (correct number) and it will be punisher 2.37 times harder than any other non-sexual crime

Pornography and prostitution are both illegal in Verdeguay. Pornography does exist on the black market, of course, although it is not very popular. Prostitution, including child prostitution, is sadly rather common in poorer neighborhoods of large cities.
