There are three types of prostitution: street prostitution, escort prostitution, and brothel prostitution. Street prostitution is the most common type of prostitution. It involves women soliciting customers on the street for sex. Escort prostitution is when a woman is hired to accompany a man to a social event or to provide sexual services within a private setting, such as a hotel room. Brothel prostitution is when women work in a brothel, or a place where people can go to have sex with prostitutes.
