I live in France, and this new law is just an ideological law that the radical feminists pushed for (or should I call them Feminazis), it's a law denying two consenting adults to do what they want with their own bodies, even if that means having sex for money. Basically the only thing that truly belongs to us is our own bodies, and if the government decides what we are allowed to do with them that means we don't belong to ourselves anymore but belong to the government. But since half of France are Marxist, and Marxism denies individual freedoms, there you have it.
Plus why doesn't France goes after the Mafias who put girls on the sidewalks instead? Why not fight after organized crimes? Why go after the customer? Why not allow people to visit independent escorts anymore? Because what I can sa is a lot of people with autism and especially Asperger syndrome are either going to end up very frustrated, or are going to break the law and continue visiting escorts.
But, this law might also get "censored" by the constitutional council (equivalent of the US supreme court), because how can something be legal, like paying for sex, but buying it is against the law? And like I said above, it goes against people's right to do what they want with their own bodies.
And last, this being France 99% of the laws are not even enforced at all, this being one of them. It's like Marijuana, France has the most severe drug laws of all of Europe (technically 1 joint can get you 1 years of jail) but also the highest amount of drug users in Europe, and nobody in 15 years as ever been prosecuted or finned for drug uses, in 99,999% of cases the cops take the drugs and throw them away (or keep them for themselves), an in 0,001% of cases you spend a couple of hours at the police station and they let you walk out free.
Anyway, France is taking the wrong route, what happened to the nation of De Sade, to what made France this once great liberal country it once was, where sex was not big deal however you practiced it. And the scary part is that it's the left and the liberals who voted this law, while the right and conservatives where against it.
