Prostitution


Prostitution is the offering of sex for the means of financial gain this profession is regarded has one the oldest professions in the world since the beginning of civilisation. Most prostitutes are mainly woman however men are known to sell their bodies.

Prostitution itself is not illegal in the United Kingdom however to hold and control a prostitute or run a brothel for obtaining money is illegal. Prostitution is linked to crime such as drugs and violence.

In the UK it is estimated that around 80,000 people participate in prostitution which amounts to one billion with mostly males paying for sex.

The Home Office review on 'Tackling the Demand for Prostitution' November 2008 confirmed that if convicted of kerb crawling you could be slammed with a thousand pound fine, lose your driving licence or disclose your antics to your family and friends.
