      . The Court rejects the Committee’s proposed definition of "lewd and indecent” in instruction 23.2, Soliciting for the Purpose of Prostitution, which did not track the statutory language under section 796.07(1)(b), Florida Statutes. The statute defines lewdness as "any indecent or obscene act,” and that definition is included in the instruction as authorized, as well as the definition for “indecent,” consistent with that proposed by the Committee in instructions 23.1, 23.3, 23.4, 23.5, 23.6, and 23.7. In addition, however, we will refer to the Committee instructions 23.1 through 23.7, as well as other instructions pertaining to offenses charging lewd and lascivious conduct or including that terminology, for consideration of whether a uniform definition for "lewd and lascivious” is needed and whether the term "sensual intent” or "sensual intention” should be included in that definition.
