- "Prostitution is the business or practice of engaging in sexual activity in exchange for payment. Prostitution is sometimes described as sexual services, commercial sex or, colloquially, hooking. It is sometimes referred to euphemistically as "the world´s oldest profession" in the English-speaking world. A person who works in this field is called a prostitute and is a type of sex worker.
Prostitution occurs in a variety of forms, and its legal status varies from country to country (sometimes from region to region within a given country), ranging from being an enforced or unenforced crime, to unregulated, to a regulated profession. It is one branch of the sex industry, along with pornography, stripping, and erotic dancing. Brothels are establishments specifically dedicated to prostitution. In escort prostitution, the act may take place at the client´s residence or hotel room (referred to as out-call), or at the escort´s residence or a hotel room rented for the occasion by the escort (in-call). Another form is street prostitution." - (en.wikipedia.org 20.11.2019)
