The specialty of these parkings is that they allow to hide certain parts of a vehicle from view.]] '''Street prostitution''' is a form of [[prostitution]]. Sex workers working in street prostitution work on the [[street]], rather than in [[brothel]]s. This form of sex work can be more dangerous than working in a brothel, but it also offers some benefits: * The [[prostitute]]s have more control over who they want to have [[sexual intercourse]] with * Very often, the prostitutes do not have to share the [[money]] they earn; for example with owners of brothels. People working in this area are often regarded as the lowest type of prostitutes, but street prostitution also allows for people to only work occasionally, for example when they need money to buy [[illegal drugs|drugs]]. Some of the problems associated with street prostitution also, are: * There are little to no controls over the prostitutes; they might be younger than legally allowed (having sex with a [[child]] is a [[crime]]), they may also have various [[sexually transmitted disease]]s, for example [[AIDS]]. * The clients of the prostitutes are often defrauded; that means that the prostitute does not do what was agreed upon, or that prostitutes want a higher price to do what was agreed. {{Commonscat|Street prostitution}} {{stub}} [[Category:Prostitution]]
