Streetwalkers make their contacts through public solicitation. It is usually the first type of prostitution in which adolescents become involved. They are more visible and more likely to be arrested. They are more likely to be victimized, beaten, robbed, or raped. Streetwalkers are vulnerable to severe mental health problems.

Brothels are found in most large cities. They are legal in some counties in Nevada. Indeed, protection from violence is a major advantage of Nevada's legal brothels; they are the safest of all environments in which women sell consensual sex for money.

Masseuses that provide sexual services work in massage parlors that disguise their intent as places of prostitution. Some provide a range of sexual services, but most provide only masturbation as a sexual activity.

Call girls are the highest-paid sex workers as a group. They obtain customers through contacts and referrals. They are generally better educated and have higher socioeconomic status.
