¶1concurring specially.
¶21. I agree that the prostitution statute was drawn to apply only to the seller and not the buyer. It does not violate equal protection guarantees for the legislature to criminalize the conduct of the seller but not the buyer of commercialized sex; the enforcement scheme is similar to that typically applied in liquor and drug statutes. The proper equal protection test is not "strict scrutiny” as urged by appellees, but the rational relation test which applies to economic regulations. E.g., Wilder v. State, 232 Ga. 404, 406 (207 SE2d 38) (1974).
¶3Nor is prostitution protected by the somewhat amorphous constitutional right of privacy. No court to my knowledge has recognized a "right” to commit prostitution as a fundamental right which is implicit in the concept of ordered liberty, as required by Roe v. Wade, 410 U. S. 113 (93 SC 705, 35 LE2d 147) (1973) to invoke the constitutional privacy protection. Because prostitution does not meet that test, there is no need for the state to show that its regulation of prostitution is necessary to serve a compelling state interest. Id. What we have here is not an issue of personal sexual privacy, but an issue of commerce in sex analogous to the pornographic movies condemned in Paris Adult Theatre I v. Slaton, 413 U. S. 49 (93 SC 2628, 37 LE2d 446) (1973). That decision established that when the regulation of an economic enterprise is attempted, and a claim of privacy is made, the state legislature is allowed to conclude that prohibitions serve valid legislative ends. I conclude that under the rationale of that decision, prohibition of prostitution is a permissible economic-criminal regulation, and not an impermissible encroachment upon constitutional privacy concepts.
¶4Finally, it is true that the mere agreement to commit sexual intercourse for money violates the statute; but this abridges no First Amendment freedoms. The "speech” which is prohibited by this statute constitutes a *499commercial criminal agreement; it is not the dissemination of factual matters of public interest which the Supreme Court, in Bigelow v. Virginia, No. 73-1309, 43 USLW 4735 (June 16, 1975), held survived efforts to prohibit it as mere commercial speech.
¶52. As we construe the statute, however, it applies to all sellers of sexual intercourse, whether male .or female. Appellees claim the statute is discriminatorily enforced against only female prostitutes. The court cannot, however, merely assume that males engage in prostitution in the same or similar numbers that police records and testimony showed that females did. Nothing in the record established the incidence of male prostitution, either by numbers or proportions or percentages. (I refer to males selling normal sexual favors to female buyers. The record indicated that men who offered to sell homosexual sex acts were charged under the solicitation of sodomy statute, Code Ann. § 26-2003.) Consequently, the clear fact which emerges from this record, that males are rarely if ever prosecuted for prostitution whereas females are prosecuted in great numbers, cannot be proof of discriminatory enforcement when there is no evidence in the record that male prostitutes exist in detectable numbers.
¶6Appellees’ main claim on this point was that the police department chose to shut its eyes to the existence of male prostitutes. The evidentiary weakness of their case lay in the fact that to prove discriminatory enforcement they relied upon the data accumulated by the very police department which was alleged to take — and which apparently did take — virtually no notice of male prostitution. That data does not even show the existence of male prostitution. Therefore, appellees’ equal protection argument fails because they have failed to show the existence of the class — male prostitutes — claimed to be unjustly favored by discriminatory enforcement.
