历史上韓國的性交易是合法的,不过2004年重新修改法律之后,性交易在韩国成为非法的活动。1949年以前的中国可以比一下
在印度,法律並無對於性交易做出任何的規範,性工作既不是非法,也不是合法。
卖淫在新加坡是否合法? 在一定程度上,答案是肯定。 在新加坡政府管理的红灯区有警察定期巡逻,外国和当地女性可以在特定场所拉客和提供性服务。 这些女性必须携带健康证并定期接受医疗检查。
1949年以后的中国,能比吗?
楼主问的是禁porn网站,跟卖淫有毛关系?

Prostitution in Africa

Decriminalization - No criminal penalties for prostitution
Legalization - prostitution legal and regulated
Abolitionism - prostitution is legal, but organized activities such as brothels and pimping are illegal; prostitution is
not regulated
Neo-abolitionism - illegal to buy sex and for 3rd party involvement, legal to sell sex
Prohibitionism - prostitution illegal
Legality varies with local laws
Prostitution is illegal in the majority of
African countries. HIV/AIDS infection rates are particularly high among African sex workers.
[1]
Nevertheless, it is common, driven by the widespread
poverty in many
sub-Saharan African countries,
[2] and is one of the drivers for the prevalence of
HIV/AIDS in Africa.
[3] Social breakdown and poverty caused by
civil war in several African countries has caused further increases in the rate of prostitution in those countries. For these reasons, some African countries have also become destinations for
sex tourism.
Long-distance truck drivers have been identified as a group with the high-risk behaviour of sleeping with prostitutes and a tendency to spread the infection along trade routes in the region. Infection rates of up to 33% were observed in this group in the late 1980s in
Uganda,
Kenya and
Tanzania.

Legal status of prostitution in South America
Legality of
prostitution in
the Americas varies by country. Most countries only legalized prostitution, with the act of exchanging money for sexual services legal. The level of enforcement varies by country. One country, the United States, is unique as legality of prostitution is not the responsibility of the federal government, but rather state, territorial, and federal district's responsibility.

Prostitution in Asia

In
Asia, the main characteristic of the region is the very big discrepancy between the laws which exist on the books and what occurs in practice. For example, in
Thailand prostitution is illegal,
[4] but in practice it is tolerated and partly regulated, and the country is a destination for
sex tourism. Such situations are common in many Asian countries.
In
Japan, prostitution is legal
[5] with the exception of heterosexual, vaginal intercourse. Advertisements that detail what each individual prostitute will do (oral sex, anal sex, etc.) are a common sight in the country, although many prostitutes disregard the law.
In
India, prostitution is legal only if carried out in the
private residence of a prostitute or others.
[6]
Child prostitution is a serious problem in this region. Past surveys indicate that 30 to 35 percent of all prostitutes in the
Mekong sub-region of
Southeast Asia are between 12 and 17 years of age.

Prostitution in Europe

Decriminalization - no criminal penalties for prostitution
Legalization - prostitution legal and regulated
Abolitionism - prostitution is legal, but organized activities such as brothels and pimping are illegal; prostitution is
not regulated
Neo-abolitionism - illegal to buy sex and for 3rd party involvement, legal to sell sex
Prohibitionism - prostitution illegal
Legality varies with local laws
Compared to other continents, Europe has very diverse laws when it comes to prostitution. The most common legal system in the
European Union is that which allows prostitution itself (the exchange of sex for money) but prohibits associated activities (brothels, pimping, etc.). Prostitution remains illegal in most of the
ex-communist countries of
Eastern Europe.
In
Sweden,
[8] Northern Ireland,
[9] Norway,
[10] Iceland,
[11] and
France[12] it is illegal to pay for sex (the
client commits a crime, but not the prostitute).
In the
United Kingdom, it is illegal to pay for sex with a prostitute who has been "subjected to force" and this is a
strict liability offense (clients can be prosecuted even if they did not know the prostitute was forced), but prostitution itself is legal.
[13][14]
In
Germany prostitution is legal, as are
brothels.
The enforcement of the anti-prostitution laws varies by country. One example is
Belgium, in which brothels are illegal, but in practice, they are tolerated, operate quite openly, and in some parts of the country, the situation is similar of that in neighboring
Netherlands.
In Eastern Europe, prostitution was outlawed by the former communist regimes, and most of those countries chose to keep it illegal even after the fall of the Communists. In Hungary and Latvia however, prostitution is legal and regulated.
