  A male prostitute who engages in heterosexual prostitution is also sometimes called “Gigolo”

  Euphemism:  “ the oldest profession in the world” is often used to justify the actions of a prostitute or john. In its literal sense it is possibly true. The offering of sexual favours (although frowned upon by prudish society) is the easiest way and most suited to both parties to settle “outstanding financial accounts” when money is not available. 

  A female that pays for favours from men such as plumbing, electrical work  or general handyman jobs, is said to “pay with a hairy cheque book”

  Note: this is in the context of person to person. Not person to: bank manager, utilities companies or credit card companies. You may find yourself in a legal situation offering to pay your outstanding loan payment with sex! (aka: “paying in kind”)

  Pimp: a person (man usually working the streets) who forces women to prostitute herself or helps her to procure business and whom profits from her prostitution. Very often a pimp takes advantage of girls who find themselves in desperate circumstances. In other cases prostitutes welcome the protection and experience of a pimp and do not object to sharing their money with him. In the past a lot of violence has arisen from these circumstances, even death. This  may well be the reason of the creation of the “Brothel”

  Brothel: A building where people can rent sexual partners ( female or male, 18yrs or older) for money. The advent of the brothel provided a cover for illicit behaviour behind closed doors. Brothels as with prostitution have been illegal in many countries. In recent time governments have amended/changed laws to allow for brothels to be established, monitored and taxed. This has somewhat cleaned up the streets taking the "Street walker” prostitute  out of site to the general public. Thus changing the former pimp into a “madam”(female brothel Manager).

   

  Legality: 

  • Prostitutes working in their vans in Lyon, France are often referred to as "BMC".
  • prostitution carries the death penalty for third-time offenders in the Sudan
  • prostitutes are tax-paying unionised legal workers in Hungary as well as the Netherlands
  • Germany, Switzerland (where the issue of legal age is a source of avid dispute, some insisting that one can legally be a prostitute as of one's sixteenth birthday, other maintaining it is eighteen)
  • New Zealand is similar to that in the Netherlands (see prostitution in the Netherlands, prostitution in Germany and prostitution in New Zealand).
  • Australian state of New South Wales, any person over the age of 18 may offer to provide sexual services in return for money. In Victoria and Queensland, a person who wishes to run a prostitution business must have a license. Prostitutes working for themselves in their own business, as prostitutes in the business, must be registered. 
  • Nevada in the United States allows regulated brothels, though certain counties and cities within the state have passed laws making them illegal. Individual sex workers are not required to be registered or licensed.
  • In some countries the legal status of prostitution may vary depending on the activity
  •  Japan,  vaginal prostitution is against the law while fellatio prostitution is legal, as women who perform fellatio for money are not considered prostitutes in Japan
  • Turkey, street prostitution is illegal. Prostitution through government regulated brothels is legal. All brothels must have a license, and all sex workers working in brothels must be licensed as well. Municipality based "Commissions for the struggle against venereal diseases and prostitution" are in charge of issuing such licenses.
  • In many jurisdictions, the act of obtaining money for sex is not illegal, but many of the activities surrounding it are illegal.
  • England and Wales, Scotland, Rhode Island, Canada, Bulgaria, Brazil, Denmark and Costa Rica, amongst others, activities such as solicitation, pimping and owning or running a brothel are illegal.
    In these countries, police often differ in their control of prostitution. In England and Wales for example, local police forces have historically flipped between zero tolerance of prostitution and unofficial red light districts.
  • Sweden it is legal to sell sex but not to buy sex. Pimping is also illegal. Prostitutes are generally viewed by the government as oppressed, while their clients are viewed as oppressors
  • Norway has the same laws as Sweden, except that it's not illegal to buy sex. This situation is liable to change within a year or so, however, as the delegates at the 2007 annual meeting of the Labour Party, Norway's largest, and part of the 2005–2009 coalition government, voted in favour of banning the purchase of sexual services.
  • Thailand, prostitution is illegal as stated in the Prevention and Suppression Act of B.E. 2539 
  • Hong Kong, prostitution is legal so long as it is done in private, but brothels are illegal as is any third-party profit from prostitution (pimping). However in practice much of the prostitution is controlled by triad societies or as informal additions to otherwise nonsexual services such as massage parlors, bars and karaoke establishments. Among the many forms of prostitution common in Hong Kong are "one for one" girls. To avoid the operation of an illegal brothel, triads will rent tiny apartments and allow girls to "sublet" them so they appear to be operating out of their own homes. The triads then advertise the girls' services on web sites or in local publications. Another avoidance strategy is to operate a karaoke establishment and provide girls as entertainment or companionship only; the girls then take customers to an hourly hotel in the same building and pay for the room separately. Informal, individual prostitution (mostly of Filipinas, Indonesians, Thais, and sometimes women from Latin America and the former Soviet Union) is almost always available at discos or hotel bars, especially in the Tsim Sha Tsui and Wan Chai districts (the latter famous as the setting for The World of Suzie Wong. Occasionally the police raid the triad-run prostitution setups, but usually the only arrests made are for immigration violations. Women frequently enter Hong Kong from mainland China for prostitution services. However, this travel is not forcible; most women working as prostitutes in Hong Kong are of age and are doing so voluntarily [citation needed].
  • Netherlands would like a "zero tolerance policy" for brothels, i.e. not allow any, on moral grounds, but by law this is not possible. However, regulations, including restrictions in number and location are common. Whether a zero policy on urban planning grounds is allowed is still unclear.

  Sexual Slavery: owned by organized crime are the highest priority targets of law enforcement actions against prostitution. Police also frequently intervene when prompted by local resident complaints, often directed against street prostitution. In most countries where prostitution is illegal, at least some forms of it are tolerated. This ambiguous status in former years allowed the police to extort money or services, particularly information on criminal activities that prostitutes are often well-placed to obtain, from prostitutes in exchange for "looking the other way". This rarely happens in civilized countries these days.
