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
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
 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.

Exotic dancing

 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.
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
 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.

Pornography

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
 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.
