被禁止的性行为与性暴力

卖淫: 女性卖淫: 卖淫处所

多数妓女在特殊的卖淫处所里工作，诸如妓院、夜总会或私人公寓。这些处所提供的宽敞程度和舒适度上差异极大。相应地，工作条件也有差异，其环境从龌龊可怕到奢华舒适，不一而足。这种女人也许无情无义，而且由卖淫处所的拥有者所雇用，或者她们被高薪聘用。她们中的许多人会被迫“走穴”，从一个卖淫处所奔走到另一处所，在那里，过了一会儿，她们对顾客来说就是“新人”。一些妓女可能自己经营，而且只不过在卖淫处所租用一些空间。另外的自己经营的女人在自己的家里工作。简而言之，卖淫处所的景象的确各式各样。

毋庸置疑，这种类型的室内妓女卖淫的确切方式依特定城市或国家等地方环境条件而定：法律环境、建筑物规模、社区安全保护条例、法律执行的程度、经济发展条件而定。一些卖淫处所只在特定的区域形成自己的风格，并且不在其它区域存在。也有许多“混杂的”模式，即一种卖淫经营模式混入其它经营模式。最后，我们必须牢记，像任何其它生意一样，卖淫始终都处于调整和适应之中，以面对新挑战。以下的内容因而只能举一举一些例子。

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.
