Prostitution - providing sex work. She can do both women and men, although mostly it is a «feminine» occupation.

Prostitutes and society.

  Report of the International Labour Organization (ILO) in 1998 noted the proposal to consider the sex industry as a legitimate sector of the economy.

Although prostitution is considered the "oldest profession" and already existed in ancient Egypt, Babylon and India, the term «prostitute» first appeared in ancient Greece to refer to women sex workers who could legally buy a brothel. Athenian lawmaker Solon reforms for the first time legalized brothels. Women who worked in them were called «prostasai», ie women for sale. From this word came later in the Roman «prostare», referred to as "publicly traded". In the Middle Ages, the term «prostitution» was forgotten, but re-entered the Western European culture in the late 18th century.

A characteristic feature of prostitution is just getting paid for professional services of a sexual nature.

Contradictory public attitudes towards prostitutes, ie Pay a professional sex is associated with an ambivalent attitude toward sex itself. The society began to avoid the word, using the ambiguous word «leisure» or «escort services». On the one hand, sex is fun, but because sex workers can be considered similar to any other purchased services. On the other hand, sex, coupled with childbirth, have traditionally been condemned. Therefore, public morals «taboo» disordered sexual relations and reproved those who had sex outside the family. This conviction was the stricter, more monogamous was the society.

In the Christian culture of free sex conviction was secured religious canon.

Negative attitudes towards prostitution has made the name of the profession byword for the different negative social phenomena.

The causes of prostitution.

To understand the causes of prostitution, should pay attention to not only prostitutes, but also their customers. Indeed, the development of any service depends on supply and demand.

Typically, public limited sexual activity, reducing it mainly to the care of procreation. Meanwhile, the physiological need for sex in humans is often higher than reproductive purposes. Therefore, regulated sexual relations within the family, some are trying to supplement (or replace) free sex in my spare time (or during leisure time). Sexual activity of men, on average stronger than women, they are more liberated, more inclined to enforce their desires. These gender in virtually every society creates demand for sex services just for men. As the emancipation of women, they also begin to show the demand for sexual services, although on a much smaller scale. Therefore, in many countries with increasing material well-being of the population increases the demand for men, sex workers women, a growing number of institutions offering "Full Monty" and "male escort" for wealthy women. It is worth noting leisure for men in great demand.

Modern scientists, comparing the prevalence of prostitution in different countries, say the two main factors: the average income in the country, the presence or absence of the patriarchal traditions (especially religious prohibitions).

Where a few women of other opportunities to earn a living, prostitution often becomes for them about the only way to survive. This explains the relatively high level of prostitution in Latin America and Southeast Asia. However, the situation changes if the country is dominated by strict patriarchal or religious norms governing women's behavior, such a pattern is observed in the Islamic world, where, despite the low standard of living, the level of prostitution is relatively low.

In richer countries, women have less economic incentive to engage in prostitution, but for men there are more opportunities to buy paid sex. Therefore, in developed countries, prostitution has been widely spread, but do it in the largely indigenous citizens and migrants.

Prostitutes are required to demonstrate joy, but have no right to have fun.

In other words, there are two symmetrical positions: labor, which necessarily involves suffering at the same time as its internal and external components (this is normal, for example, office work), and the work of prostitutes, including pleasure, as simulated and necessary element «of the service». In other words, the synthesis of natural labor and the natural joy of labor is excluded in each of the two options, but in different ways. In the first case an exception itself is just the content of the suffering in the second - the natural joy is excluded as a threat, an opportunity that always lies in wait.

In fact, the role of a prostitute just figure that it is closer to the truth of contemporary work - it is radically separated from the enjoyment is in the work that involves pleasure, therefore, that it leaves no illusions on this score. The only way out of the «suffering from work» - the movement in accordance with the logic of these very suffering, or the shifting of suffering for someone else. It is not about greater self-realization (whatever she meant) and not of greater joy and of suffering. This minimization is possible only due to the fact that someone else is suffering instead of you. Reduce suffering can only be, if you learn how to manage it.

Men are not only to earn money and provide for their family and friends. They also deserve what to have sex and enjoy that sweet woman's hands touch your body and make so that the man could get what he wanted. Prostitute themselves know that their actions must be directed only to the fact that all their clients to remain happy and satisfied. It should be noted that the prostitutes themselves never lose heart and do everything to ensure that they have not been the result of the success of petitions, and the result was heavy and hard work. They always strive to ensure that would meet all standards of professionalism. Their whole life - it's a solid fight for his place in the sun, and that to achieve something more than just a job as a prostitute. For the sake of the many prostitutes willing to endure all the humiliation and brutality to them by the lives that would only be able to fulfill all their dreams and desires. They are prepared from morning to night to work for what would make their own destiny and life more vivid and memorable that would never have problems with money and optimistic about the future.
Life is never spoiled them with his good attitude and do not prepare anything for that would not have to fight, and that goes for nothing. Prostitutes say that their hard work they deserve respect and gain the bonus balls to further the good life. They say that if something or achieve, it is their stubbornness and not someone's protection or assistance. The girls are proud of this state of things and say that their children will also learn just work and perseverance, because that is what contributes to the success and good fortune, and that many prostitutes undoubtedly right.

The working conditions of prostitutes vary depending on the place of work and ways of entering into prostitution. For some women, working conditions and pay for work seem more acceptable than in other areas where they could use their power. For other working conditions are exploitative, and therefore they feel the constant humiliation and violence.
      In addition to subjective attitudes, working conditions in the area of ​​sexual services is largely dependent on where and how the woman as «independent and free» prostitute as sex worker in a firm, like a slave or a replacement. Working conditions also depend on the assessment, based on moral, religious, social or economic standards.

      To the category of highest-paid prostitutes are the elite. They have their own homes, often in an expensive part of town. Their regular customers are people wealthy, or they themselves find and bring home or take those points on which they are a pimp.
      Profitable and relatively safe job is «service» of prostitutes in hotels and leisure businesses, which may be registered as an unlimited number of employees "girls", perfect strangers to each other. In general, these girls are 18-30 years old, most of which is complete or incomplete secondary education. But willingly accepted to work and women to 40 years, customers are mostly men are respectable age.
       When a job is estimated external data and the ability to work with clients. Recruitment is carried out under the guise of maids, cleaners, masseurs, etc. Registration is at work on an oral, sometimes written contract. The so-called «part» in other firms in your spare time entertainment is not allowed categorically. For violation of the prohibitions imposed penalties or deny the place of work.
      Brand new girls learn the rules and regulations of firms leisure, various sexual techniques serve a large number of customers, the behaviors of men with different types and ways to protect against sexually transmitted diseases. Because of the highly competitive job all «girls on-call» universal. Most of the remaining stand the competition and are forced to accept all orders and perform a variety of customer requirements.

       «Call girl» in less than an hour did not leave, and payment is made strictly according to certain criteria. There is no such thing «at night» or «one-time service», every hour visit, the client will pay according to tariff.
      Of the remainder of the earnings are calculated penalties, payment for accommodation provided, and sometimes food, medical examination and even weekends. Sometimes such deductions rise to 60%. Specificity of the firm is such that even if the prostitute has to work long hours, most of the time spent by it on call waiting.
     
      The degree of exploitation is high. Almost all professional women engaged in prostitution say they wanted to leave his occupation and to find some other cause. However, every girl who came back said that she came to work temporarily to earn a living in an apartment or married, but over 90% of women remain in the sex industry forever.
