Document Summary

Psychology 2075 chapter 17: sex for sale. Commercial sex workers: persons who engage in sexual acts in return for money or drugs and do so in a fairly nondiscriminating fashion; prostitutes. Common bawdy house: a place where prostitution occurs. The enforcement patterns penalize women more than men, prostitutes more than customers or pimps, and on-street prostitution more than off-street prostitution. Call girl: works out of her own residence; the most expensive and exclusive category of sex workers. Massage parlour: a place where massages and sexual services can generally be purchased. Escort service: sex work in this setting is referred to as an out-call service since the escorts go to the clients. Streetwalker: a lower status sex worker who works on the streets selling sexual services. A third party is anyone involved who is neither the client nor the worker. They may be supervisors, owners, managers, receptionists, security, drivers, etc.
