The Role Of Prostitution In The Dominican Republic

What I have noticed from this reading and the internet was that in many parts of the world, prostitution is completely legal. Prostitution is commonly referred to the “world’s oldest profession”. It is something that undoubtedly does now and has always existed in every corner of the globe. My personal stance is that females, or males for that matter, should not be regulated or prohibited from selling their own bodies. It should be a moral, not a legal issue. Since, there is always an exchange of “currency “or “paso”any time two people date. So, in Sosua, Dominican Republic, clearly the law agrees with my stance. However, in the Domican Republic it is illegal to exploit into selling your body for sex. In other words, one cannot legally have a pimp.
There are two types of child prostitutions in the Dominican Republic. The first is the traditional form of prostitution which takes place in indoor establishments, such as brothels. The second is a new form of prostitution that includes both boys and girls, working independently away from indoor places, practiced on an occasional basis and mainly in tourist areas. The new type of prostitution has resulted from the increase in tourism, particularly as tourists pay higher prices than local men. While the majority of the children work on their own, some may have someone who finds the ‘customer’ for them.
