I don't know how to define prostitution. Is any form of exchanging sex for money ("sex work") prostitution? Like acting in porn, escorting, sex therapy, sugar daddying, etc.. Or is prostitution simply the lowest rung on the sex work ladder, defined by things like the speed of the transaction, the quality of clients and providers, the cost, and the environments where the transaction occurs?
