Sex worker

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sex worker is a person that is paid to sexually gratify or arouse a customer.[1] Some sex workers are paid to engage in sexually explicit behavior which involve varying degrees of physical contact with clients (prostitutes, escorts,




dominatrices); pornography models and actors engage in sexually explicit behavior which are filmed or photographed. Phone sex operators have sexually-oriented conversations with clients. Other sex workers are paid to engage in live sexual performance, such as web cam sex and phone sex[2] and performers in live sex shows. Some sex workers perform erotic dances and other acts for an audience (strippers, go-go dancers, burlesque performers, peepshow workers).


Performance evaluations
Performance evaluations of the different local sex workers can be found at various escort review boards worldwide, online forums which are used to trade information between potential clients and sex workers and to advertise the various services available.


[edit] Military
Sex workers have always plied their trades to the military in virtually all cultures. For example, the British naval port of Portsmouth had a flourishing local sex industry in the 19th century, and until the early 1990s there were large red light districts near American military bases in the Philippines. The notorious Patpong entertainment district in Bangkok, Thailand, started as an R&R location for US troops serving in the Vietnam War in the early 1970s.
