Here's how it applies in Ohio.
According to Ohio Law prostitution is "sexual activity for hire". Prostitution is divided into the crimes of Compelling, Promoting, Procuring, and Soliciting (with subcategories for more specific crimes of each).
For clarification, here are Ohio's legal definitions:
"Prostitute" means a male or female who promiscuously engages in sexual activity for hire, regardless of whether the hire is paid to the prostitute or to another.
"Sexual conduct" means vaginal intercourse between a male and female; anal intercourse, fellatio, and cunnilingus between persons regardless of sex; and, without privilege to do so, the insertion, however slight, of any part of the body or any instrument, apparatus, or other object into the vaginal or anal cavity of another. Penetration, however slight, is sufficient to complete vaginal or anal intercourse.
"Sexual contact" means any touching of an erogenous zone of another, including without limitation the thigh, genitals, buttock, pubic region, or, if the person is a female, a breast, for the purpose of sexually arousing or gratifying either person.
"Sexual activity" means sexual conduct or sexual contact, or both.
"Sexual excitement" means the condition of human male or female genitals when in a state of sexual stimulation or arousal.
*Ohio Revised Code, 2907, Sex Offenses
West Virginia's prostitution law is much more detailed and several pages long, but suffice it to say, it includes a hell of a lot more than Ohio.
Those are the only 2 states in which I've studied any law, so I can't comment on the 48 other states or any other country.
