被禁止的性行為與性暴力

賣淫: 女性賣淫: 賣淫處所

多數妓女在特殊的賣淫處所裏工作，諸如妓院、夜總會或私人公寓。這些處所提供的寬敞程度和舒適度上差異極大。相應地，工作條件也有差異，其環境從齷齪可怕到奢華舒適，不一而足。這種女人也許無情無義，而且由賣淫處所的擁有者所雇用，或者她們被高薪聘用。她們中的許多人會被迫“走穴”，從一個賣淫處所奔走到另一處所，在那裏，過了一會兒，她們對顧客來說就是“新人”。一些妓女可能自己經營，而且只不過在賣淫處所租用一些空間。另外的自己經營的女人在自己的家裏工作。簡而言之，賣淫處所的景象的確各式各樣。

毋庸置疑，這種類型的室內妓女賣淫的確切方式依特定城市或國家等地方環境條件而定：法律環境、建築物規模、社區安全保護條例、法律執行的程度、經濟發展條件而定。一些賣淫處所只在特定的區域形成自己的風格，並且不在其它區域存在。也有許多“混雜的”模式，即一種賣淫經營模式混入其它經營模式。最後，我們必須牢記，像任何其它生意一樣，賣淫始終都處於調整和適應之中，以面對新挑戰。以下的內容因而只能舉一舉一些例子。

Prostitution: Female Prostitution: Establishments

Most prostitutes work in special establishments such as brothels, night clubs, or private apartments. These places can greatly differ in size and in the comfort they provide. The working conditions differ accordingly, from horrible to luxurious. The women may be brutalized and exploited by the establishment owners, or they may be employed with a good income. Many of them are forced to wander from one establishment to another where, for a while, they are “new” for the customers. Some may be self-employed and merely rent some space in the establishment. Other self-employed women work in their own homes. In short, the picture is varied indeed.
Needless to say, the exact forms of this kind of indoor prostitution depend on local conditions - the legal situation, building codes and zoning regulations, the intensity of law enforcement, the economic conditions in a particular city or country etc. Some establishments are typical only of certain regions and do not exist in others. There are also many “mixed” forms, with one type of enterprise blending into another. Finally, one has to remember that prostitution, like any other business, is constantly changing and adapting to new challenges. The following sections can therefore offer only a few examples.
