Prostitution in Norwegian
Prostitution is prostitusjon in Norwegian, and a prostitute is a prostituert, who sells sexual services (seksuelle tjenester). Derogatory words for sex workers in Norwegian include skjøge, ludder and hore. Hore (whore) is derived from the Old Norse hóra with roots in Indo-European kā which means "light". A pimp is hallik, and a client is a horekunde. Men who sell sexual services to women are gigoloer (gigolos).
The exchange may take place on the street (gateprostitusjon) or in a brothel (bordell), apartment (leilighetsprostitusjon) or the worker's home (bopel). Alternatively a worker may work through escort services (eskortetjenester). Use of the services of wealthy sex workers is referred to as høyklasseprostitusjon. Sex workers who have been coerced are called sex-slaver or victims of trafficking (trafficking-ofre). Child prostitution and sex tourism are barneprostitusjon and sex-turisme.
