"Money is the key trait of prostitution"
MONEY- the word itself is enough for everything. Without it, it is impossible to live- it is a major motivation for women and men that are forcing them to become a prostitute. They generally come from a low-income background and thus, for earning- they are indulging in such sexual activities.
Here, you will get to know a short detail about prostitution. What does that mean and how do some people accept it while others are against it? Not only against but also considering it to be as illegal? Along with that, some also believe that prostitutes are the main reason for spreading STDs. Let us give a look at this article and understand how they work in different places and why termed differently in different places.
WHAT IS PROSTITUTION?
The term prostitution refers to the act of engaging in some sexual activities in exchange for some amount of money. Those who are involved in such activities are known to be sex workers or prostitutes. Well, different names have been mentioned for defining these people depending on the different places. It is not only limited to a single area- as it is done in various locations. Some sex workers like to roam around the streets at the night.
In some countries, prostitution has been regulated whereas some countries remain unregulated. Many people indulge in these activities because of different reasons- some for the sake of living and others due to some private reasons. One gets the payment after providing the required service to their clients.
DIFFERENT TYPES OF PROSTITUTION
The taxonomy of "types of prostitution" has become differently interpretable for different people. Here is a brief survey of common types of prostitution- just have a look:
STREETWALKERS
Streetwalkers are those prostitutes who make themselves visible and easily available on the urban streets. They implore customers who are passionate about the streets. These services are generally performed in the customers car or simply in nearby hotels, and doorways.
On average, these prostitutes charge lower prices and also, have the least bargain over condom use. They have the highest risk of harm from their clients and thus, are considered to spawn the highest levels of negative externalities. Thus, they also run a high risk of arrest via supreme authority.
BAR/HOTEL PROSTITUTES
Some prostitutes seek clients in bars, clubs, and hotels- they often collaborate with the manager and so, have some sharing in their revenues with them. Services may be provided in the back room of the club or simply in a hotel room that is rented by the client or prostitute.
Their income varies from low to quite high income depending on their prestige. The risk of harm is arrest is low to moderate because of the collaborative relationship between her and the manager or other employees.
INDEPENDENT CALL GIRLS/BOYS OR ESCORTS
Some sex workers operate on an outcall basis and so, they are not restricted to a particular site. The clients are assigned to them by the escort agency that only charges a fee to the customer. They also considered bargaining leverage over condom use and thus, practice a sex sexual activity with their clients.
They also rely upon the referral by an agent or by family clients or some sex workers in the same market. So, the risk of harm and arrest is less as it is generally limited to upper-class clients.
HOUSE/BROTHEL PROSTITUTES
Brothels are committed locations where people pay for sex. Here, it can include saunas and massage parlous. The prices are moderated and also, the brothel workers endure moderate exploitation as they have to give some part of their earnings to the owners of the brothels.
MISCELLANEOUS OTHER MARKETS
As we all know prostitution is a highly flexible segment of the informal economy and so, because of financial needs, some prostitute moves in and out. Some are seasonally active- for instance, follow sports or music tours or simply the summer and winter resort traffic.
