What is the definition of prostitution?
    Prostitution is vaguely defined as exchanging a “lewd or immoral act” by the payment in money or other forms of consideration. This does not mean that you actually had sexual intercourse. Lewd is described as physical contact between two people in which one person touches the genitals, buttocks or (female) breasts of the other person, or simulates any lewd physical contact.
