4. “the typical prostitute is a girl who has never been very conscience-stricken in the area of
sexual deviation and who entered her occupation as a means of improving her economic
status.” Humphrey (1995)
PROSTITUTION : SOCIAL
DEFINITIONS
- Sexual relations that include some
form of monetary payment or barter
and are characterized by
promiscuity and/or emotional
apathy.
“sexual intercourse on a
promiscuous and mercenary basis,
with emotional indifference.”
“nonmarital sexual service for
material gain.” Paul Goldstein’s

5. WHAT DRIVES A PERSON INTO
PROSTITUTION?
1) Poverty and unemployment has triggered the rapid spread of
prostitution in the Philippines. It provides those involved in this
profession a considerable amount of income to support their families
as well as supply a steady flow of remittances from urban to rural
areas or from prostitutes working overseas.
2) Women have been tricked into prostitution with guarantees of
decent job opportunities in the city or abroad or have been
kidnapped and then forced to work as prostitutes.
3) Family expectations and problems are common factors why many
enter the prostitution business. Women in particular are pressured to
pay for their sibling’s education or support a sick family member.
Other aspects such as dysfunctional families or constant abuse from
parents have lead adolescents to leave their homes and are
attracted by the easy profits from prostitution.

6. PROSTITUTION
Types
Kinds
• Street
• Brothels
• Escorts
• Sex Tourism
• Virtual Sex
• Female Prostitution
• Male Prostitution
• Child Prostitution

7. TYPES OF PROSTITUTION
• Street – the prostitute solicits customers while
waiting at street corners, sometimes called
“the track” by pimps and prostitutes alike. They
usually dress in skimpy, provocative clothing,
regardless of the weather. Street prostitutes
are often called “Streetwalkers” while their
customers are referred to as “tricks” or “johns”.
Servicing the customers is described as
“turning tricks”. The sex is usually performed in
the customer’s car, in a nearby alley, or in a
rented room. Motels and Hotels which
accommodate prostitutes commonly rent
rooms by the half of full hour.

8. TYPES OF PROSTITUTION
• Brothels – are establishments specifically dedicated to prostitution, often
confined to special red-light districts in big cities. Other names for brothels
include bordello, whorehouse, cathouse, knocking shop, and general
houses. Prostitution also occurs in some massage parlours, and in Asian
countries in some barber shops where sexual services may be offered as a
secondary function of the premises.

9. TYPES OF PROSTITUTION
• Escorts – the act takes place at
the customer’s residence or hotel
room (referred to as out-call), or
at the escort’s residence or in a
hotel room rented for the
occasion by the escort (called incall). The prostitute may be
independent or working under
the auspices of an escort
agency. Services may be
advertised over the Internet, in
regional publications, or in local
telephone listings.

10. TYPES OF PROSTITUTION
• Sex Tourism – sex tourism is travel for sexual intercourse with prostitutes
or to engage in other sexual activity. The World Tourism Organization, a
specialized agency of the United Nations defines sex tourism as “trips
organized from within the tourism sector, or from outside this sector but
using its structures and networks, with the primary purpose of effecting a
commercial sexual relationship by the tourist with residents at the
destination”.
Often the term “sex tourism” is mistakenly interchanged with the term
“child sex tourism”. As opposed to regular sex tourism, which is often legal, a
tourist who has sex with a child prostitute will usually be committing a crime
in the host country, under the laws of his own country (notwithstanding him
being outside of it) and against international law. Child sex tourism (CST) is
defined as a travel to a foreign country for the purpose of engaging in
commercially facilitated child sexual abuse. Thailand, Cambodia, India,
Brazil and Mexico have been identified as leading hotspots of child sexual
exploitation

11. TYPES OF PROSTITUTION
• Virtual Sex – sexual acts conveyed
by messages rather than physically, is
also the subject of commercial
transactions. Commercial phone sex
services have been available for
decades. The advent of the internet
has made other forms of virtual sex for
money, including computer-mediated
cybersex, in which sexual services are
provided in text form by way of chat
rooms or instant messaging, or audio
visually through a webcam.

12. KINDS OF PROSTITUTION
Male Prostitution
• the act or practice of men providing sexual
services to either men or women in return for
payment.
• are known by various names
and euphemisms including male
escorts, gigolos (usually implies female
customers), rent-boys, hustlers,
models or masseurs (although the last three do
not always refer to prostitutes). A man who
does not regard himself as gay, but who is
prepared to have sex with male clients for
money, is sometimes called "gay-for-pay" or
"trade".

13. KINDS OF PROSTITUTION
Female Prostitution
• “Any female aged 18 and over who engages in any sexual relations (such as
intercourse, fellatio, exhibitionism) primarily for material and/or financial gain,
with persons other than their married partners.” Women and Criminality

14. Child Prostitution
KINDS OF PROSTITUTION
• Also known as Teen prostitution, is
generally defined as the
participation, for pay or barter, by
minors (usually under the age of 18)
in sexual acts with adults or other
minors where no force is used. This
includes intercourse, oral
copulation, and sodomy. What
differentiates child prostitution from
statutory rape is the exchange of
money, drugs, or other goods as
payment for services rendered.

15. SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED DISEASES
• STD also referred to as sexually transmitted infections
(STI) and venereal diseases (VD), are illnesses that
have a significant probability of transmission
between humans by means of sexual behaviour,
including vaginal intercourse, anal sex, and oral sex.
Some STI can also be contracted by using IV drug
needles after their use by an infected person, as well
through childbirth or breastfeeding.

Disease
Cause and manner of
transmission
HSV-1: acquired orally
and causes cold sores
Herpes
(herpes simplex
virus)
HSV-2: acquired during
sexual contact and
affects the genitals
Spread through skin
contact with a person
infected with the virus.
Symptoms
Most individuals infected with HSV-1 or HSV-2
experience either no symptoms or have very mild
symptoms that go unnoticed or are mistaken for
another skin condition. Because of this, most
people infected with HSV-2 are not aware of their
infection. When symptoms do occur, they typically
appear as one or more blisters on or around the
genitals, rectum or mouth. The blisters break and
leave painful sores that may take two to four weeks
to heal. Experiencing these symptoms is sometimes
referred to as having an “outbreak.” The first time
someone has an outbreak they may also
experience flu-like symptoms such as fever, body
aches and swollen glands.

19. HERPES
Effect
Genital herpes can cause painful
genital sores in many adults and
can be severe in people with
suppressed immune systems.
If a person with genital herpes
touches their sores or the fluids from
the sores, they may transfer herpes
to another part of the body.
This is particularly problematic if it is
a sensitive location such as the
eyes. This can be avoided by not
touching the sores or fluids.
If they are touched, immediate and
thorough hand-washing make the
transfer less likely.
Treatment
There is no treatment that can
cure herpes.
Antiviral medications can,
however, prevent or shorten
outbreaks during the period of
time the person takes the
medication.
 In addition, daily suppressive
therapy (i.e., daily use of antiviral
medication) for herpes can
reduce the likelihood of
transmission to partners.

21. HPV
Effects and Treatment
 Genital warts usually appear as a small bump or groups of bumps in
the genital area. They can be small or large, raised or flat, or shaped
like a cauliflower.
 Cervical cancer usually does not have symptoms until it is quite
advanced, very serious and hard to treat. For this reason, it is
important for women to get regular screening for cervical cancer.
Screening tests can find early signs of disease so that problems can be
treated early, before they ever turn into cancer.

22. HPV
Effects and Treatment
 Other HPV-related cancers might not have signs or symptoms until they
are advanced and hard to treat. These include cancers of the vulva,
vagina, penis, anus, and oropharynx (cancers of the back of the
throat, including the base of the tongue and tonsils).
 RRP causes warts to grow in the throat. It can sometimes block the
airway, causing a hoarse voice or troubled breathing. Although rare,
RRP can occur among adults and children.

23. Sexually Transmitted
Disease
Cause and manner of transmission
Gonorrhea
 a sexually transmitted disease (STD) caused by a
bacterium gonococus. Gonorrhea can grow easily
in the warm, moist areas of the reproductive tract,
including the cervix (opening to the womb), uterus
(womb), and fallopian tubes (egg canals) in
women, and in the urethra (urine canal) in women
and men. The bacterium can also grow in the
mouth, throat, eyes, and anus.
 Can spread through contact with the penis,
vagina, mouth, or anus.

Treatment
Gonorrhea can be cured

cure gonorrhea.

25. GONORRHEA
Symptoms
 Most women with gonorrhea do not
have any symptoms. Even when a
woman has symptoms, they are often
mild and can be mistaken for a bladder
or vaginal infection. The initial symptoms
in women can include a painful or
burning sensation when urinating,
increased vaginal discharge, or vaginal
bleeding between periods. Women with
gonorrhea are at risk of developing
serious complications from the infection,
even if symptoms are not present or are
mild.

Treatment
In women, gonorrhea
can spread into the

anyone. Although
medication will stop the
infection, it will not repair
any permanent damage
done by the disease.

26. GONORRHEA
Symptoms
 Symptoms of rectal infection in
both men and women may
include discharge, anal itching,
soreness, bleeding, or painful
bowel movements. Rectal
infections may also cause no
symptoms. Infections in the throat
may cause a sore throat, but
usually cause no symptoms.

27. Sexually Transmitted
Disease
Cause and manner of transmission
Syphilis
 Syphilis is a sexually transmitted disease (STD)
caused by a bacterium, a cork-screw shaped
microorganism called spirochete, which enters the
body through mucous membranes or breaks in the
skin. After rapid multiplication, the germs are
spread throughout the body by the blood stream
and the lymphatic system.

28. SYPHILIS
Symptoms and Effects
Primary Stage
The appearance of a single sore marks the first
(primary) stage of syphilis symptoms, but there may be
multiple sores. The sore appears at the location where
syphilis entered the body. The sore is usually firm,
round, and painless. Because the sore is painless, it
can easily go unnoticed. The sore lasts 3 to 6 weeks
and heals regardless of whether or not a person is
treated. However, if the infected person does not
receive adequate treatment the infection progresses
to the secondary stage.

29. SYPHILIS
Symptoms and Effects
Secondary Stage
Skin rashes and/or sores in the mouth, vagina, or anus (also called mucous membrane lesions )
mark the secondary stage of symptoms. This stage usually starts with a rash on one or more areas
of the body. Rashes associated with secondary syphilis can appear from the time when the
primary sore is healing to several weeks after the sore has healed. The rash usually does not cause
itching. This rash may appear as rough, red, or reddish brown spots both on the palms of the
hands and/or the bottoms of the feet. However, this rash may look different on other parts of the
body and can look like rashes caused by other diseases. Large, raised, gray or white lesions may
develop in warm, moist areas such as the mouth, underarm or groin region. Sometimes rashes
associated with secondary syphilis are so faint that they are not noticed. Other symptoms of
secondary syphilis include fever, swollen lymph glands, sore throat, patchy hair loss, headaches,
weight loss, muscle aches, and fatigue. The symptoms of secondary syphilis will go away with or
without treatment. Without appropriate treatment, the infection will progress to the latent and
possibly late stages of disease.

30. SYPHILIS
Symptoms and Effects
Late and Latent Stages
The latent (hidden) stage of syphilis begins when primary and
secondary symptoms disappear. Without treatment, the infected
person can continue to have syphilis in their body even though
there are no signs or symptoms. This latent stage can last for
years.
About 15% of people who have not been treated for syphilis
develop late stage syphilis, which can appear 10–30 years after
infection began. Symptoms of the late stage of syphilis include
difficulty coordinating muscle movements, paralysis, numbness,
gradual blindness, and dementia. In the late stages of syphilis,
the disease damages the internal organs, including the brain,
nerves, eyes, heart, blood vessels, liver, bones, and joints. This
damage can result in death.

31. SYPHILIS
Treatment
No home remedies or over-the-counter drugs will cure syphilis, but
syphilis is simple to cure with appropriate antibiotics from a
physician. Treatment will kill the syphilis bacterium and prevent
further damage, but it will not repair damage already done.
Persons treated for syphilis must abstain from sexual contact with
new partners until the syphilis sores are completely healed. Persons
with syphilis must notify their sex partners so that they also can be
tested and treated if necessary.

32. Sexually Transmitted Disease
Cause and manner of transmission
Trichomoniasis or “trich”
 a very common sexually transmitted disease (STD) that is
caused by infection with a protozoan parasite
called Trichomonas vaginalis. Although symptoms of the
disease vary, most women and men who have the parasite
cannot tell they are infected.
 The parasite is passed from an infected person to an
uninfected person during sex. In women, the most
commonly infected part of the body is the lower genital tract
(vulva, vagina, or urethra), and in men, the most commonly
infected body part is the inside of the penis (urethra). During
sex, the parasite is usually transmitted from a penis to a
vagina, or from a vagina to a penis, but it can also be
passed from a vagina to another vagina. It is not common
for the parasite to infect other body parts, like the hands,
mouth, or anus.

33. TRICHOMONIASIS
Symptoms and Effects
 About 70% of infected people do not have any signs or symptoms. When
trichomoniasis does cause symptoms, they can range from mild irritation to
severe inflammation. Some people with symptoms get them within 5 to 28 days
after being infected, but others do not develop symptoms until much later.
Symptoms can come and go.
 Men with trichomoniasis may feel itching or irritation inside the penis, burning
after urination or ejaculation, or some discharge from the penis.
 Women with trichomoniasis may notice itching, burning, redness or soreness of
the genitals, discomfort with urination, or a thin discharge with an unusual smell
that can be clear, white, yellowish, or greenish.
 Having trichomoniasis can make it feel unpleasant to have sex. Without
treatment, the infection can last for months or even years.

34. SYPHILIS
Symptoms and Effects
 Trichomoniasis can increase the risk of getting or spreading other sexually
transmitted infections. For example, trichomoniasis can cause genital
inflammation that makes it easier to get infected with the HIV virus, or to pass
the HIV virus on to a sex partner.
 Trichomoniasis may cause a woman to deliver a low-birth-weight
or premature infant.
 Trichomoniasis is also associated with increased chances of cervical cancer
 Evidence implies that infection in males potentially raises the risks of prostate
cancer development and spread due to inflammation.

35. TRICHOMONIASIS
Treatment
Trichomoniasis can be cured with a single dose of prescription antibiotic
medication (either metronidazole or tinidazole), pills which can be
taken by mouth. It is okay for pregnant women to take this medication.
Some people who drink alcohol within 24 hours after taking this kind of
antibiotic can have uncomfortable side effects.

36. PREVENTION
• To prevent getting a sexually transmitted disease, or STD,
always avoid sex with anyone who has genital sores, a rash,
discharge, or other symptoms. The only time unprotected
sex is safe is if you and your partner have sex only with each
other, and if it's been at least six months since you each
tested negative for STDs. Otherwise you should:
• Use latex condoms every time you have sex. If you use a
lubricant, make sure it's water-based. Use condoms for the
entire sex act. Condoms are not 100% effective at
preventing disease or pregnancy. However, they are
extremely effective if used properly. Learn how to use
condoms correctly.
• Avoid sharing towels or underclothing.
• Wash before and after intercourse.

37. PREVENTION
• Get a vaccination for hepatitis B. This is a series of three shots.
• Get tested for HIV.
• If you have a problem with drug or alcohol abuse, get help.
People who are drunk or on drugs often fail to have safe sex.
• The most reliable way to avoid infection is to not have sex (i.e.,
anal, vaginal or oral).
• It was once thought that using condoms with nonoxynol-9
helped to prevent STDs by killing the organisms that can cause
disease. New research shows that doing so also irritates a
woman's vagina and cervix and may increase the risk of an STD
infection. Current recommendations are to avoid using
condoms with nonoxynol-9.

38. PROSTITUTION IN THE PHILIPPINES
 Prostitution in the Philippines is illegal. Penalties range up to life
imprisonment for those involved in trafficking, which is covered by the AntiTrafficking in Persons Act of 2003. Prostitution is sometimes illegally available
through brothels (also known as casa), bars, karaoke bars (also known as
KTVs), massage parlors, street walkers, and escort services.
 As of 2009, one source estimated that there were 800,000 women working
as prostitutes in the Philippines, with some of them believed to be
underage.
 In 2010, an estimated 60,000 to 100,000 children in the Philippines were
involved in prostitution rings, according to Minette Rimando, a
spokeswoman for the U.N.'S International Labour Organization's Manila
office.

39. PROSTITUTION IN THE PHILIPPINES
Even back in the summer of 1982, Manila was depressingly tagged at
the biggest brothel in Asia. There were 50,000 registered hospitality girls in
the tourist entertainment in the early 70′s, and in 1987 there were 300,000
bar girls not to mention the unlicensed ones who were estimated to
number about ? of the national figure then.7 In 1998 it was estimated
that there were at least 400,000 to 500,000 prostituted persons in the
Philippines with 75,000 of these being children. In her “Anti-Prostitution
Act” (Senate Bill No. 2341) Senator Pia S. Cayetano cites the number of
women being exploited in prostitution in the Philippines now ballooning
to 800,000.
