Prostitution is the act or practice of providing sexual services with another person in return for payment. Persons who execute such activity are called prostitutes. Prostitution is one of the branches of the sex industry. Estimates place the annual revenue generated from the global prostitution industry to be over $100 billion. To prostitute is derived from a composition of two Latin worlds pro and stature. A literal translation therefore would be to expose to place up front.
