I don't think the law is intended to restrict the likes of you and I having a conversation about the it. I think the law is in place to stop people in a position of influence promoting the idea.

So your friend is right for the wrong reasons, utterly the wrong reasons. Escorts are also strangely socially acceptable, doesn't change the fundamental nature of the job though.
People get very touchy about things like this, mainly because everyone is complicit in the sex industry to a greater or lesser degree. They get even touchier when you point that out. | It's about cleanliess and safety - street walkers are seen as having no regard for personal safety/sexual hygiene and are available to anyone, whereas call girls, escorts etc aren't so much available to everyone so are seen as being higher class, almost. Apparently.
Writing an essay on it just now actually.

Its like calling a footballer a sportsman though: Accurate, but somewhat general and lacking in specifics.
