In street prostitution, the prostitute solicits customers while waiting at street corners or walking alongside a street, usually dressed in skimpy, suggestive clothing. Often the prostitute (commonly called a "hooker", "street hooker", or "streetwalker" to distinguish them from other sex workers) appears to mind his or her own business and waits for the customer to initiate contact. The act is performed in the customer's car or in a nearby alley or rented room (motels that service prostitutes commonly rent rooms by the half or full hour). Street prostitution differs significantly from "indoor prostitution," which refers to call girls, escort agencies, and workers in bars, brothels, and massage parlors. Generally, indoor prostitution is safer for the workers, has little or no negative impact on the surrounding community, is higher paid than street prostitution, and the workers are more satisfied with their work than street prostitutes (Weitzer 2000, 2005).
