Singapore sex trade

7,614 women were arrested for vice-related activities last year, 2,567 more than the total number nabbed in 2008.


However, local laws relating to prostitution do not apply to male sex workers and some lawyers are calling for such laws to also apply to them.


One lawyer, Mr Sunil Sudheesan from KhattarWong said while it's not illegal for women to engage male sex workers, these workers who have sex with other men could be charged under Section 377A of the Penal Code.
