Nearly every state in the nation makes solicitation of prostitution illegal—the lone exception being certain areas of This article focuses on the crime of solicitation of prostitution within the states, including its penalties and possible defenses. What Is Solicitation of Prostitution? Solicitation of prostitution occurs when a person uses words, actions, or any type of conduct in an attempt to engage in an act of prostitution. Solicitation encompasses two different types of illegal behavior. A prostitute who advertises their availability to perform sexual acts for compensation commits the unlawful act of solicitation, as does a potential patron offering to pay for sex.

I don't agree that "hooker" is not vulgar. I think it is, not because I don't like hookers or I'm Joe Morality or anything, but in the sense that it would never be used in an official manner -- for instance, in a news story, such as in, "Newt Gringrich was arrested last night by police in his limousine while accompanied by a hooker."

They would say "prostitute", both the first time and in every subsequent instance. vulgar, and a curious use of official. Are not respected dictionaries more official arbiters of what is vulgar than the popular press? I have not found one that labels the word hooker with a vulgar tag. "that it would never be used in an official manner -- for instance, in a news story,..." Hmmm...that seems to be a very sweeping exaggeration. I just did a search for vulgar with Google News, and found many very current examples. hooker Kansas City Star (blog) - ‎...
