A serious question about the subject. Most giving a cursory thought to the subject would knee jerk an answer that it is the exchange of something of value for an insertive sexual act: vaginal, oral or anal penetrative sex. Interestingly many states legally define it as an exchange of something of value for an act designed to be sexually arousing. So, if strictly enforced [and aren't we all glad it isn't] in those states that would include lap dances and even giving tokens to cam models.
My point is if we are going to argue, and I might be inclined to, that prostitution is any time someone is paying someone else to arouse them to a state where climax is possible we have a LOT more providers and clients in this nation than we might think. Enough so that one has to give a little thought to legalizing all of this.
What do others here think: Is the social, not legal definition of prostitution confined to penetrative acts, or is it much closer to paying for any sexual act that is designed to end in a situation where the payer can/could climax [whether it does or doesn't not mattering, but that it is aimed at that]?
