Prostitution, also known as “commercial sex work,” is the exchange of sexual acts for money/payment or goods, which is often considered as one of the oldest professions but largely illegal or heavily restricted globally. Prostitution is most often driven by many factors such as poverty, unemployment, coercion, or peer pressure, and is associated with risks like sexual exploitation, trafficking, and sexually transmitted diseases (STIs). It is recognized as a complex issue involving, in some cases, the trafficking of vulnerable individuals, particularly women, who may be coerced into the profession or industry. Prostitutes (sex workers) may be female or male or transgender, and may entail heterosexual or homosexual activity, but historically most prostitutes have been women and most clients are men. From religious perspective, prostitution is considered as a moral wrong in itself but individuals involved can obtain God’s redemption and mercy, as it is a violation of divine intent for sexuality, which is designed for the covenant of marriage. Our body is the “temple of the Holy Spirit,” not to be degraded by prostitution, viewed as sin. The paper looks into prostitution in a broader dimension and the social cost to the society at large.
