The Swedish model, also known as the Nordic model, is a method of dealing with prostitution in which the purchase of sex is made illegal while the selling of one's own body for sex is legal. In some countries that use this approach the procurement of sexual services from another person and the operation of a brothel both remain illegal. This approach overwhelmingly results in men being charged with prostitution offences.
Countries that use the Swedish model include Sweden and Canada.[1][2]
