Ukuba semthethweni koonongogo eYurophu kuyahluka ngokwamazwe. Amanye amazwe ayasigweba isenzo sokuzibandakanya kwizenzo zesondo ngokutshintshiselana ngemali, ngelixa abanye bevumela ubuhenyu ngokwabo, kodwa bathintele uninzi lweendlela zokuziphatha (ezinje ngoonongogo, ukuqhuba ubuhenyu bomnye, okuvela kwinzuzo evela kubunongogo bomnye, ukucela / ubufazi, njl. njl.) kwiinzame zokwenza kube nzima ngakumbi ukwenza ubuhenyu.
Kumazwe asi-8 aseYurophu (eHolland, eJamani, eOstriya, eSwitzerland, eGrisi, eTurkey, eHungary naseLatvia) ukuthengisa ngomzimba kusemthethweni kwaye kuyalawulwa.
Ngokubhekisele eSwitzerland, ubuhenyu busemthethweni eSwitzerland kwaye bulawulwa. Ii-brothels ezinelayisensi, zihlala zinolwamkelo kwaye zikhokelela kumagumbi e studio, ziyafumaneka. Ukuhenyuza esitratweni akukho semthethweni, ngaphandle kweendawo ezichongiweyo ngokukodwa kwizixeko ezikhulu.
Oonongogo abaninzi basebenza ngeentengiso zephephandaba, iifowuni eziphathwayo zokuthandana kumagumbi aqeshiweyo. Kusemthethweni ukubhengeza "ukuthambisa" kwiithebhu. Kufuneka iqatshelwe into yokuba eSwitzerland oonongogo bahlawula i-VAT (iRhafu yeXabiso elongeziweyo) ngeenkonzo zabo kwaye abanye bamkela amakhadi etyala.
Uninzi loonongogo ngabantu basemzini abavela eLatin America, eMpuma Yurophu okanye kwiMpuma Ekude. Kwiminyaka yakutshanje inani loonongogo lonyukile. Amapolisa aqikelela ukuba kunokubakho phakathi kwe-1.500 kunye ne-3.000 yexhoba lokurhweba ngabantu eSwitzerland.
Inyani yile yokuba ishishini lokuthengisa ngomzimba lihlala liguqula ubundlobongela, linokukhokelela kugqogqo, iimfazwe ezinesiphithiphithi, ukudubula kunye nokuhlaselwa ngomlilo koonongogo.
