Prostitution
Prostitution is when someone is paid for sex. The person being paid for sex is called a prostitute, and the person paying for it is called a client or a "john". Both men and women can be prostitutes but it is usually men paying for women and men to have sex. Sometimes the prostitute is underage, which makes prostitution even worse.
Prostitution is very destructive for the prostitute and also for the client. Prostitution is usually illegal, sometimes for the client but usually for the prostitute. Hiring a prostitute is wrong, but I'm not sure being a female prostitute is wrong.
