A sex worker in Germany.
Prostitution is the sale of sexual services. A person selling sexual services is a prostitute, a type of sex worker. In a more general sense of the word, anyone selling his/her services for a cause thought to be unworthy can be described as prostituting him/herself. In the United Kingdom a prostitute might be considered as any individual, "who allows his/her body to be used for lewd purposes in return for payment".
