.: conclusion :.

We believe that only by going to the root cause of prostitution and trafficking, which are the factors 

that make up the demand, will we end the sexual exploitation and abuse of women and children 

through prostitution and trafficking.  

We need to urge all governments, NGOs, and religious communities to focus on reducing the 

demand for victims of sex trafficking and prostitution. All the components of the demand need to 

be penalized – the men who purchase sex acts, the exploiters – the traffickers and pimps who 

profit from the sale of women and children for sex, the states that fund deceptive messages and 

act as pimp, and the culture that lies about the nature of prostitution.  

We could greatly reduce the number of victims, if the demand for them was penalized. If there 

were no men seeking to buy sex acts, no women and children would be bought and sold. If there 

were no brothels waiting for victims, no victims would be recruited. If there were no states that 

profited from the sex trade, there would be no regulations that facilitated the flow of women 

from poor towns to wealthier sex industry centers. If there were no false messages about 

prostitution, no women or girls would be deceived into thinking prostitution is a glamorous or 

legitimate job.

The 2007 Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary defined prostitution as: "Prostitution: 1 : the act or practice of engaging in promiscuous sexual relations especially for money 2 : the state of being prostituted : DEBASEMENT"

Time Magazine in the Aug. 23, 1971 article "Reflections On The Sad Profession" stated: "The whole subject of prostitution is full of ambiguities and hypocrisies. Even to define the word is not so easy as it might seem. We generally think of the transfer of money as the element that makes prostitution a crime (although money plays a subtle part in all sorts of sexual relationships). Yet in a number of states, as well as in Webster's newest dictionary, the definition of prostitution includes not only the exchange of money but also the rather vague concept of promiscuity... for example, forbid[ding] both getting paid for sex and 'the offering of the body for indiscriminate sexual intercourse without hire.' But what is 'indiscriminate'? St. Jerome decried women who had known 'many men,' and monks argued over the number that would warrant condemnation; one said 40, another 23,000."

Breaking Free, Inc., a Minnesota-based nonprofit, in its "Philosophy Statement" posted on the Coalition Against Trafficking in Women (CATW) website (accessed Apr. 20, 2007), stated: "We define prostitution as systematic sexual violence and oppression against women and girls. This system is institutionalized in the sex industry: stripshows, nude juice bars, massage parlors and saunas, brothels, adult book and video stores, peep shows, live sex shows, sex rings, escort services, mail order brides, streetwalking, and pornography. Each of these forms of prostitution provides men with unlimited sexual access to women and girls based solely on their ability to pay."

Lena Edlund, PhD, Associate Professor of Economics at Columbia University, and Evelyn Korn, PhD, Faculty of Economics and Business Administration at University of Marburg in Germany, wrote the Feb. 2002 Journal of Political Economy article "A Theory of Prostitution" that stated: "Before proceeding, we need to define prostitution. Despite being known as the oldest profession, a workable definition has proven elusive. From a dictionary we learn that prostitution is the 'act or practice of engaging in sexual intercourse for money'. But a prostitute cannot simply be a woman who sells her body, since 'that is done every day by women who become wives in order to gain a home and a livelihood'. Promiscuity has been proposed as another candidate. Medieval canon lawyer Johannes Teutonicus suggested that a woman who had sex with more than 23,000 men should be classified as a prostitute, although 40 to 60 would also do. However, promiscuity itself does not turn a woman into a prostitute. Although a vast majority of prostitutes are promiscuous, most people would agree that sleeping around does not amount to prostitution. Moreover, any threshold number of sexual partners, be it 40 or 23,000, fails to identify high end courtesans or call girls as prostitutes, although a reasonable definition would. Instead, we argue that prostitution is the act of rendering, from the client’s point of view, non-reproductive sex against payment."

John Ince, Attorney and Leader of the Sex Party, wrote in a May 10, 2007 e-mail to ProCon.org that: "Users would be well advised that much of the pro/con sentiment is a result of differing definitions of prostitution rather than differences on how to deal with a specific defined type of prostitution, and that if the definition was standardized much of the conflict might disappear.... For example the key elements of prostitution are: 1) sexual contact [and] 2) for money Now sexual contact needs to be defined: a) genital contact? So a massage therapist is not a prostitute; so a professional dominatrix who spanks and humiliates, but does not touch genitals is not a prostitute; b) genital contact for pleasure? so a urologist is not a prostitute; so an erotic masseur is a prostitute... c) genital contact for pleasure that includes penetration? So erotic masseurs are not prostitutes d) genital contact for pleasure that includes penetration in circumstances where the provider feels shame, fear, pain or exposes themselves or others to disease; so escorts who are highly selective about their clients and enjoy their work are not prostitutes."

Christine Harcourt, PhD, Research Fellow for the National Centre in HIV Epidemiology & Clinical Research at the University of New South Wales, and Basil Donovan, MD, Professor of Sexual Health at National Centre in HIV Epidemiology and Clinical Research of the University of New South Wales, in their June 2005 Sexually Transmitted Infections article "The Many Faces of Sex Work," wrote:

"At least 25 types of sex work were identified according to worksite, principal mode of soliciting clients, or sexual practices. These types of work are often grouped under the headings of 'direct' and 'indirect' prostitution, with the latter group less likely to be perceived or to perceive themselves as sex workers..."

Direct Forms of Prostitution
Number	Type of Prostitution	Geographic Distribution
1.	Street: Clients solicited on the street, park or other public places. Serviced in side streets, vehicles, or short stay premises	Widespread, particularly if alternative work sites are unavailable (United States, Europe, United Kingdom, Australasia) and/or there is socioeconomic breakdown (eastern Europe, parts of Africa, south and South East Asia, and Latin America)
2.	Brothel: Premises explicitly dedicated to providing sex. Better security than street. Often licensed by authorities	Preferred where sex work is decriminalised or brothels are 'tolerated.' (Australia, New Zealand, South East Asia, India, Europe, Latin America)
3.	Escort: Client contacts sex worker by phone or via hotel staff. Most covert form of sex work. Relatively expensive because of low client turnover. Service provided at client’s home or hotel room	Ubiquitous. In the United States escorts and private workers contacted by phone and working from a 'call book' are known as 'call girls' or 'call men'
4.	Private: Client contacts sex worker by phone. Similar to escorts except services provided in sex worker’s premises. A variant in London and other big cities is 'flat' prostitution—high cost services in rented, serviced, inner city units	United Kingdom, Europe, United States, and Australia. Sometimes doorway (see below) and street sex workers bring clients home
5.	Window or doorway: Brothels with sex workers on public display. Windows preferred in cold climates, doorways in warmer places	Window prostitution almost unique to Amsterdam and Hamburg. Doorway prostitution found in less affluent areas of European cities and in African and other developing countries
6.	Club, pub, bar, karaoke bar, dance hall: Clients solicited in alcohol vending venues and serviced on site or elsewhere	Ubiquitous depending on types of male club available
7.	Other all-male venues: Clients solicited in all-male venues such as barbershops, bathhouses, saunas, and mining camps. Serviced on site or elsewhere	Ubiquitous
8.	Door knock or hotel: Unattached males are approached in their hotel rooms or boarding houses	Hotels worldwide and wherever large numbers of unaccompanied males reside
9.	Transport (ship, truck, train): Sex workers may board vehicles to service the crew or passengers or pick up clients at stations and terminals	Ubiquitous
10.	CB radio: Sex workers drive along highways using CB radio to exchange (jargon) messages with potential truck driver clients. Serviced at truck stops or parking areas	United States
11.	Other methods of solicitation: Through various media including noticeboard and newspaper advertisements, 'sex worker catalogues' with mobile phone numbers, the internet via virtual brothels, etc. Services are delivered mostly in brothels and other indoor venues	Ubiquitous, but internet and mobile phone services are mostly confined to large cities in developed countries—particularly the United Kingdom and Sweden where legislation limits other forms of advertising
Indirect Forms of Prostitution
12.	Bondage and discipline: sexual fantasy through role play. May involve the inflicting of pain, but genital contact is not routine	Apparently unique to wealthier countries
13.	Lap dancing: A recent development involving erotic dancing at close quarters without sexual contact	Predominantly wealthier countries—often takes place in hotels and clubs
14.	Massage parlour: Premises ostensibly dedicated to providing massage, but a range of sexual services may be provided. In South East Asia similar arrangements may apply in barbershops	Europe, South East Asia, and Australia
15.	Travelling entertainers: Actors, dancers and others involved in entertainment may also provide sexual services	South East Asia
16.	Beer girls: Young women hired by major companies to promote and sell products in bars and clubs. Sexual services sold to supplement income	Cambodia, Uganda, other developing countries
17.	Street vendors and traders: Ostensibly marketing rural produce or other goods but supplementing income with sexual services	Widespread in developing countries
18.	Opportunistic: A person approached in a social venue may occasionally choose to charge for sexual favours if the client appears wealthy enough	Ubiquitous
19.	Femme libre: Women, usually single or divorced, who exchange sexual services for gifts. The gifts are then converted to cash	Central Africa
20.	Individual arrangements: The single mother who may have sex with her landlord in place of rent. Older sex workers who only deal with a small number of regular clients, by appointment. 'Kept' women or men. Concubines. The number of possible arrangements is vast	Ubiquitous
21.	Swingers clubs: Some swingers or couples sex clubs employ (undisclosed) sex workers if there is a shortage of female guests	Predominantly wealthier countries
22.	Geisha: Women engaged primarily to provide social company, but sex may ensue	Japanese cities
23.	'Sex for drugs': Women providing fellatio for crack cocaine in crack houses. Young homosexual men in Western countries may provide opportunistic sexual services paid with drugs	Crack houses are unique to the United States
24.	Beachboys, bumsters, and gigolos: Men and boys engaged by women ostensibly for social purposes but sex is often involved. Some beachboys are under aged and many also service male clients	Resorts, particularly in developing countries
25.	Survival sex: A matter of degree, where starvation or other serious deprivation is imminent, particularly for dependants. Food or security may be the currency, rather than money	Refugee camps anywhere

FACTORS AFFECTING PROSTITUTION

prostitution.. this kind of job will forever be blame by society.

they do not have right to spoke out of what they feel,and the reasons why they getting involve in prostitution. in my opinion,and from the severals of research i have found the factors why women in prostitution job.
      

• early sexual experience..    

this has been stated in book of Jennifer James and Jane Meyerding. this statement did surprise me at first,and i've thinking why the writer think in that way. but then i realise after a deep thinking, this factors might be true. i still cant get the chance to read this book,but from my own assumption, i can assumed women who get involve in prostitution actually have experience sexual activities. from that first time of sexual activities,they can go far, as they can make this as their second job. and maybe after for awhile, it is not only to satisfied their own sexual activities, they take PROSTITUTION as their job. which is be given more priority.

• lack of religion knowledge

many people would agree with me,if i'm saying religion knowledge is very important in moral, behaviour, attitude and etique building. with religion knowledge, we will be guided in certain of rules. examples, if you were makin something bad then you will get the punishment that suitable and based on your bad things doing. it goes the same for prostitution. prostitution is not an halal job in islam. islam not allowed women to used their body in getting some money.
    

• desiring for the luxury life

luxury? for what,if ypu can only achieved luxury by sold you own body? this statement i cant accept it until today. luxury is really nothing,plus its only make your pride much lower than others. is that what are you trying to do? i cant deny,all of us desire for perfect luxury life,but its not supposed to be in that way.

ITS WRONG TO PAY FOR SEX DEBATE - MELISSA FARLEY

Probe on student call-girls

 

Publication: NSUNT
Date of publication: Dec 5, 2010
Byline / Author: By Julia Chan

KOTA KINABALU: Universiti Malaysia Sabah will monitor its students more closely following claims that some of them are involved in prostitution.

Vice-Chancellor Prof Datuk Dr Kamaruzaman Ampon said the university was taking the claims seriously.

He said although the university had yet to receive any report about its students being involved in prostitution, steps would be taken to monitor them more closely.

He said the university would investigate the claims.

Kamaruzaman was asked on claims by United Pasokmomogun Kadazandusun Murut Organisation Wanita chief Dr Jaina Sintian that a syndicate was luring university students here into the flesh trade.

Dr Jaina said she was told that the girls earned up to RM500 per session.

Kamaruzaman said disciplinary action would be taken against the culprits.

"We will investigate first before taking disciplinary action. Those students involved in part-time prostitution must have their own reasons for doing so. Maybe they do not have enough money to pay for their education fees."

He said the university would handle the problem discreetly and if they did it because of financial problems, the university was willing to offer them loans.

"How we handle the problem will depend on the seriousness of the cases.

"We want the students to finish their studies. We are looking into this matter."

:: Three female students rescued from prostitution syndicate ::

Wed, Jul 07, 2010 The Star/Asia News Network

MALACCA, MALAYSIA: Police rescued three teenagers believed to have been forced into vice when they busted a syndicate offering the sexual services of secondary school students. State CID chief Asst Comm Mohd Adnan Abdullah said seven suspects, including a woman in her 20s who is believed to be the pimp, were arrested in an operation on Monday. "Besides the female pimp, police also detained another woman and her male companion as they are believed to be involved in the syndicate," he told reporters yesterday. He said the activities of the syndicate came to light when a student lodged a police report against one of the suspects, claiming she was forced to entertain men. "We believe the syndicate was offering the services of the students to clients for between RM60 and RM80. "Four men were also detained as they are believed to have sought the services of the girls," he added. Based on initial investigations, he said the syndicate had been operating from a hotel in the city since May. ACP Mohd Adnan said the suspects would be charged under the Child Act 2001 and could face a maximum prison sentence of 15 years and a RM50,000 fine or both upon conviction. - The Star/Asia News Network
