As I read the previous threads it appears to me that there is no possibility of getting a licence to carry out the sort of activity described, why should that be the case I ask ?
Not one person advocates sexual exhibitions in such innapropriate places as you describe.

You did not need to bring up the bible but since much of our legal code and view of morality is based upon it then it is inevitable that it will be mentioned.
Making the sex-industry illegal has failed to control it but then you have to ask why it needed control in the first place. That again comes down to the code of morality as set out by the great religions. Making commercial sex illegal is easy and you do not have to ask the awkward questions as to why it exists and the social conditions that push people in that direction.
Again I do not advocate street sex and I understand that the sex industry exploits individuals but illegality just makes the stakes higher. Corruption and coersion are never far behind.
My view is that I would rather not have a sex industry at all but the reality is that I cannot think of any important society that does not have one.
As for age related issues that depends on the view of society itself.This must relate to how old a person is deemed to be in a position to make and evaluate decisions.
The law must be pragmatic in this it has to set a line but it is fair to say that some folk are not properly equipped to make these choices until their late twenties and others are plenty sharp at 16.In the western world we think we have it about right and FWIW 12-13 is way too young and amounts to child abuse, it is one of the reasons why I think some nations are uncivilised - I make no apology for that statement either. Stuff the political correctness about respecting cultures on this issue. Culture ends where supression begins.
Whereever the age related line is drawn the victim is not the procurer of sex but is the procured.The police have a duty to protect the victims.This is why sex with minors is a crime because they can never be anything but victims.
The issue is not the ages of the individuals concerned as this was never raised in the link, the issue is wether the people arrested have committed an offence worthy of the name.
A wonderful example of how the police act completely within the law is the “suspicion” laws in the UK.
I will not insult you by explaining them, it is that obvious but the way they were used was disgraceful.
The law was one that was enacted in Napoleonic times and was very repressive indeed.It lay more or less dormant for a couple of centuries with the odd exception here and there.The law was passed to prevent people’s sensibilities from being offended by beggars home from the Napoleonic wars and the police were justified arresting people on the basis that “it was the law”.
It gained popularity with the police force in London but was considered as unworkable throughout much of the UK.
What the London police did was to apply it to any young man who was seen standing around, even those waiting for a bus.The way it was applied was overtly racist and led directly to the complete breakdown of law and order on several estates up and down the country as minority groups took up the cudgels. People died.(look up the Broadwater Farm riots in your search engine)This is why bad laws must be eradicated, they damage the whole law enforcement system.
“It’s the law” is not an end or justification in itself there has to be a clear public interest served and for the life of me I cannot see that in the link provided by the OP.
The reason that the mods operate rules is the twofold, one is previous experience of certain types of behaviour the other is to comply with federal laws that have been discussed and enacted with good reasons behind them.
