Revision as of 00:30, 26 February 2022

There are a wide variety of forms of sex work including prostitution, exotic dancing, and creation of live or recorded media. The nations of the world have many approaches when considering the legality of each of the various aspects of the sex industry. These legal approaches can be generally grouped into categories: prohibitionism, neo-abolitionism, abolitionism, decriminalization, and legalization. Some states may have a variety of laws within them based on subnational polities, which on the national level would mean multiple types of legality are in place.

Types of legality

Prohibitionism
This aspect of the industry is illegal in full.
Neo-abolitionism
This aspect of the industry is legal to offer by the primary party, but illegal to either purchase as a second party or to be included a third party.
Abolitionism
This aspect of the industry is legal, but organized activities such as brothels and pimping are illegal; this aspect of the industry is not regulated.
Decriminalization
There are no criminal penalties for this aspect of the industry.
Legalization
This aspect of the industry is legal and regulated.

Prostitution

Country Prohibitionism Neo-abolitionism Abolitionism Decriminalization Legalization
 Fahran Yes No No No No
 Gelonia No No No Yes No
 Latium Yes No No No No
 Mniohuta No No No No Yes
Prostitution is generally considered a secondary job rather than primary work, though there is no social stigma against it being a primary line of work. That said, the industry is heavily regulated to prevent the spread of STDs and allow workers to avoid unwanted pregnancies.
Template:Country data Ninva No No No No Yes
Prostitution in the Ninva is part of Tenerian, Tebu and Deshrian tradition rooted in sacred prostitution. Tameli Talyat, Ninvite religious prostitutes, hold a high status in society as a pseudo-clerical order with many associations and organizations which preserve traditions of this proffesion and preform self-regulation, screening of candidates, clients and measures to prevent disease. Consequently, prostitution has been legal in the State of the Ninva since its inception. Male sex workers have been subject to long standing taboos in Ninvite society, but are increasingly accepted and have always been fully protected under the law.
 Ostrozava No No Yes No Yes
Many Ostrozavan subprimes differ in the specifics of their regulation, but most are under common consensus of non-criminality per several rulings by the Supreme Court. Much of southern and central Ostrozava has legalized, albeit highly regulated prostiution, with professionals requiring additional identification and a larger bureaucratic signature. Others, such as the leftmost Subprimes of Vamo, Stratosko, Baderia, and Rheigen, have effectively decriminalized punishment for casual trading of sex acts while criminalizing its organization, without integrating it into local government. Many Subprimes have requirements for sex workers to unionize.
 Sante Reze No No No Yes Yes
Sante Reze has varying laws between provinces. The Nine Cousins has regulated, legal prostitution attached to its overall hospitality industry. In Oxidentali Sante Reze, there are no penalties involved with engaging in the practice but there are also no legal specifications that come with it; it is not considered as distinct from whatever hospitality context it is engaged within.
 Seonko No Yes No No No
 Sydalon Yes No No No No
 Talahara No Yes No No No
Prostitution is illegal in Talahara as the exchange of sexual acts for remuneration is considered economically coercive and thus nonconsensual. While it is not expressly illegal for an individual to offer services, they may be cautioned against doing so and offered support and social services. Any individual caught purchasing sexual acts may be charged with sexual assault.
 Tyreseia No No Yes No Yes
Prostitution has been legal in Tyreseia since the 1970s. All sex work is regulated under under the euphemistically-named Aphrodite League, which acts as a self-regulatory union body of all sex workers. The union exists to avoid pimping (which is strictly illegal), and to ensure standards of quality and consent. Identification, and a negative sexually-transmitted infection test, must be furnished before hiring a sex worker. Sex workers reside in communal housing, which is maintained by the union through their work, and exists to ensure security for the sex workers. Sex workers are regularly tested for STIs, and are forbidden from sex work if they contract one. Instead, the League provides medical costs and alternative employment. Additionally, following a syphilis outbreak in 1995, the League may invoke its right to perform contact tracing on behalf of the Tyreseian People's Commissariat of Health.
 Vardana Yes No No No No
 Yisrael Yes No No No No
 Zacapican No No No Yes No

Exotic dancing

Country Prohibitionism Neo-abolitionism Abolitionism Decriminalization Legalization
 Fahran Yes No No No Yes
 Gelonia No No No No Yes
 Latium Yes No No No Yes
Exotic dancing can be split into distinct varieties, the most notable of which in Latium are nude and otherwise. Nude dancing is prohibited in full, but other forms of exotic dance or burlesque are legal and have regulatory laws associated with them.
 Mniohuta No No No No Yes
Exotic dancing is very much a foreign idea, and one that has only been particularly harped on by the tourism industry in certain cases. Most forms of "exotic dancing" come from other countries and are near impossible to find outside of tourist traps in red light districts in major cities. While a more Mniohuti form of "exotic dancing" does exist, it comes from a marriage ritual and is generally considered socially taboo to perform outside of that context.
Template:Country data Ninva No No No No Yes
 Ostrozava No No No Yes No
'Exotic dancing' holds a very narrow legal definition in Ostrozava as most forms of burlesque dancing are classified under prostitution. As such, non-'sexual' burlesque dancing is neither criminalized nor regulated, often being paid little attention to by regulatory bodies.
 Sante Reze No No No No Yes
All forms of exotic dance are legal in Sante Reze at the national level, and regulations revolve around age of performers and health status regarding transmissible disease. There are few if any regulations regarding what actions may be included in a performance.
 Seonko No No No No Yes
 Sydalon Yes No No No No
 Talahara No No No Yes No
Exotic dancing in Talahara has no criminal sanction but sexual acts or contact between performers and viewers is prohibited. Exotic dancing venues are also rare due to zoning discrimination as anti-gender commodification groups have been largely successful in preventing the erection of venues that regularly host exotic dancing from being built on common land through advocacy in Local Councils.
 Tyreseia No No No No Yes
All forms of exotic dance are legal in Tyreseia, provided the dancers are registered members of the Aphrodite League. Dancers are not allowed to perform sexual acts for money unless they request an occupational reassignment, pass background and health checks, and receive additional League and government licensure. All forms of exotic dance, whether burlesque or otherwise, are strictly limited to adult-only consumption and identification is required at all such establishments.
 Vardana No No No No Yes
 Yisrael Yes No No No No
 Zacapican No No No Yes No

Pornography

Country Prohibitionism Neo-abolitionism Abolitionism Decriminalization Legalization
 Mniohuta No No No No Yes
Like most other industries pornography is heavily regulated, with restrictions for physical purchasing of it limited to those over the age of 16. Actors in pornography must be registered per laws adopted by the People's Conclave in 1998 to fight human trafficking and are typically part of a broader co-op such as the Explicit Actors Co-Op (the largest in the country) and are usually registered with one of the trade unions associated with the industry.
Template:Country data Ninva No No No No Yes
 Sante Reze No No No No Yes
Owning, producing, selling, and obtaining pornographic media is legal and regulated in all of its forms, physical and digital. Regulations in the industry revolve around the age of "on-stage" participants and health status regarding transmissible disease.
 Seonko No No No Yes No
 Talahara No No Yes No No
Paid pornography, as with prostitution, is illegal in Talahara as a form of coerced sexual activity. Independently produced and freely distributed pornographic materials are not subject to any legal sanction, but illegal or non-consensual distribution of such materials carries a criminal penalty.
 Tyreseia No No No No Yes
Pornography is legal and regulated in Tyreseia. Performers, like all sex workers, must be registered members of the Aphrodite League, with "amateur" content strictly disallowed for most Tyreseian websites or physical distribution. Additionally, vendors must be able to provably ascertain that all performers and the customer of a pornographic piece are above the age of 18, with some websites opting for requiring images of government identification from all parties involved. Like with all sex workers, STI testing is frequent; if a performer contracts a disease, the League will pay medical compensation and reassign them to an alternative line of work, sometimes performing contact tracing to prevent the further spread of the disease. Theaters that display pornographic films are not allowed to display non-pornographic films and vice versa; pornographic theaters must also clearly mark themselves as such to prevent any potential confusion. Pornography itself has a hazy definition under Tyreseian law, with definition usually falling to the Aphrodite League to self-police.
