Encyclopedia of Prostitution and Sex Work (Volume 2, O - Z)
Melissa Hope DitmoreThis encyclopedia intended as both a primer of scholarly investigation into the sex industry and as a resource to learn more about its many facets. This encyclopedia encourages further exploration of prostitution and offers guidance on what has been documented and what is ripe for further exploration.The term sex work encompasses prostitution plus other forms such as phone sex, pornography, stripping, and erotic dancing. However, the focus here is on prostitution. Related sex work entries, such as on geisha, stripping, and dance hall girls, are viewed through the lens of prostitution.The reader will gain insight into why prostitution has persisted, through time and in most cultures, despite nearly ubiquitous censure. The structure of the sex industry in various locales and venues under various legislative and social approaches is illuminated as well. The book is directed at a general audience.
