According to the British Concise Encyclopedia, prostitution is a practice of engaging in sexual activity usually with individuals other than a spouse or friend in exchange for immediate money or other valuables. Prostitutes may be either sex and may engage in other heterosexual or homosexual activity but historically most prostitution has been by females with males as clients.

ReplyDeleteThis is my definition for prostitution.
ReplyDeleteProstitution is a global industry in which sex is traded for money, clothing, food, drugs, shelter, or favours. Prostitution is an industry of exploitation that includes sex shows, phone sex, prostitution rings, international and domestic trafficking, internet pornography, escort services, peep shows, ritual abuse, and mail order bride services.
For additional information:
Pimps are men who batter, rape, and sell women for sex; they control the systems of prostitution. In the USA, it has been estimated that over 90% of prostitutes are controlled by pimps (Giobbe, 1993).
Tricks are men who buy women and girls for sex; they also batter, rape, and murder prostituted women and girls.
Few studies have been done about pimps and tricks, but prostituted women and girls know that they are average, everyday, all-American men.
Just an extra information:
ReplyDeleteNormalised in most cultures, prostitution is nonetheless what might well be described as a "harmful traditional cultural practice", a term applied internationally to female genital mutilation that refers to customs that are "based on the idea of inferiority or the superiority of either of the sexes or on stereotyped roles for men and women" (MacKinnon, 2001: Wynter, Thompson & Jeffreys, 2002)
