It's to avoid criminalising the victims. A prostitute is in a bad financial situation. A customer exploits that: "don't want to starve? Suck this dick bitch!"

It also shifts the power dynamic. If prostitution would be illegal the customer could use this to (further) exploit the person prostituting beyond the financial pressure.
