Paid cex, or prostitution, means paying someone for sexual services. The payment can be cash, but it can also be through gifts and favors.

The person who is getting paid is called a s*x worker, prostitute or a range of other, often demeaning, words.

S*x workers can be either woman or men. Male cex workers offer their services to other men, too. If they are not gay themselves, this is sometimes called ‘gay-to-pay’.Sex workers sell sex for a variety of reasons, and sometimes it can be a means to buy drugs or because of poverty. This is known as ‘survival cex’.

There are many places for paid cex. Some cex workers offer their services on the streets, others work in brothels, or as escorts, who offer their services in hotels or private homes.
