Prostitution is like the oldest profession in the world - it spans centuries and thousands of years back - even before the times of Jesus Christ and Prophet Mohammad. Some countries have legalized prostitution, others consider it to be illegal, but no doubt, that prostitutes exist in every country (except Vatican

). And here are the ten countries with the most sex workers per 10,000 people.
THAILAND (45 per 10,000)
The prostitution industry in Thailand is huge particularly in city centers. No one denies this and it is estimated that the number of Thai girls or Thai ladies engaged in the Thai prostitution industry can be measured in the hundreds of thousands. Thai prostitution is about 3% of the overall Thai economy. Thousands of foreign men come every week to Thailand to meet Thai prostitutes thus fueling the prostitution industry.
GERMANY (49 per 10,000)
Approximately 3,000 brothels populate Germany, with Berlin accounting for 500 of those alone. Working in these brothels are 200,000 prostitutes who collectively serve over a million men every day. Germany's law governing the sex trade is considered one of the most liberal in the world. It was passed by the former coalition government, made up of the Social Democratic Party and the Greens, in a bid to strengthen the rights of sex workers and give them access to health insurance and benefits. According to public services union Ver.di, 14,5 billion Euros is accrued by the sex trade in Germany annually.
MALAYSIA (52 per 10,000)
Becoming a prostitute is nothing new in Malaysia. Many women, even those with tertiary education and permanent employment still become prostitutes. Educated women who become prostitutes are usually part-timers who want a luxurious lifestyle like owning a nice condo, an expensive car, the latest phones and wearing designer clothes. Apparently, the demand for prostitutes in Malaysia is rather high, especially in cities like Kuala Lumpur, Penang and Ipoh.
BRAZIL (53 per 10,000)
In Brazil, employing prostitutes or running a house of prostitution is a criminal offence, however there are no Brazilian laws incriminating individuals who wish to practice it. Although not technically a crime, the profession is looked down upon as immoral in the country, especially due to its strong Catholic following. The state does not regulate prostitution; hence, there are no mandatory health checks or legal rights for prostitutes similar to those of other workers.
CHINA (60 per 10,000)
China's laws on prostitution are clear: it is illegal. Yet no country has as many sex workers. Their services are visible and readily available and what has become a thriving industry is a currency of business and symbol of corruption. The sex industry is growing rapidly. Even small cities have their own entertainment districts. Estimates of the numbers of prostitutes in China range from 3 million according to officials estimates by the government to 10 million by the U.S. State Department to 20 million by one Chinese economist.
NIGERIA (63 per 10,000)
Prostitution in Nigeria has thrived despite religious injunctions and countless laws enacted against it. Though the act of prostitution is still practiced in brothels and streets of major cities all over Nigeria today, the dark trade has shifted and is flourishing in Nigeria’s higher institutions of learning. Young girls sent to schools to acquire knowledge and become productive citizens in the nation, have found a vocation in prostitution and now practice one of the oldest trades within and outside our institutions of higher learning.
PHILIPPINES (85 per 10,000)
Non-governmental organizations in the Philippines estimate that there may be up to 500,000 prostitutes in the Philippines. The prostitution industry in the Philippines generates up to $6 billion a year. The primary driving force behind women becoming prostitutes is poverty. The Philippines’ population reached roughly 100 million people, 32 million of which live in poverty.
PERU (102 per 10,000)
Prostitution in Peru is legal for women over the age of 18, as is the ownership of brothels, but must be licensed. The entire industry is largely unregulated. Brothels are licensed and regulated by the Ministry of Interior. Prostitutes must be registered with the Government, carry ID cards and submit to a check-up every 15 days.
SOUTH KOREA (110 per 10,000)
According to The Korea Women's Development Institute, the sex trade in Korea is roughly 1,6 percent of the nation's gross domestic product. Prostitution is everywhere in South Korea, and takes a variety of forms. The first form is the red light district. Any Korean city of respectable size will have one, usually close to downtown. Any Korean city, even the small towns, will also have "private bars", or "room salons". These are bars where you'll get a PRIVATE ROOM and a hostess to pour your drinks for you, and, for an additional fee, have sex with you. Another thing you will see in Korea is guys on scooters driving around with girls in short skirts riding side saddle on the back. These are "coffee girls". Their job is to deliver "coffee" to businessmen.
VENEZUELA (119 per 10,000)
Venezuela, a tourist and domestic prostitute market, prostitution is legal and common, particularly in Caracas and in other domestic tourist destinations. Poor economic conditions and the ease with which fraudulent passports, identity cards, and birth certificates can be obtained create favorable conditions for human trafficking. Women and children from Brazil, Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, the Dominican Republic, and the Peoples Republic of China are trafficked to and through the country and subjected to commercial sexual exploitation.
