While male homosexuality is punishable by up to and including death, lesbianism and prostitution are only considered "lewd" and are not crimes under Noahide law.
Other kinds of vulgar sexuality — lesbian acts, masturbation, harlotry and sex with harlots, and sexual frivolity generally — are regarded as "lewdness." Such acts are patently less than holy and may even be destructive. But it's impossible to characterise them logically as criminal violations of the minimal provisions of this Commandment.
