Prostitution

Prostitution is defined as the act or practice of engaging in sex acts for hire. In most cultures, prostitution is viewed as a deviant profession, either discouraged or illegal, however motivations vary from the implications of those potentially exposed to that activity to whether it constitutes or not an exploitative practice.

In colloquial usage, the word "prostitute" is sometimes generalized to mean the act or an instance of offering or devoting one's talent to an unworthy use or cause.
