Abstract

Sexegesis: the exegesis of the sex trade, or the lack of it. Logical: reasonable; explainable in terms of lived-in realities and comprehensible to the average human rationality (if there is such a phenomenon). 2 Indeterminations: what cannot be definitely predicted or described, as also the factors that make a phenomenon so. The main purport of this article is, therefore, to offer an explanation for the factors that determine the presence of girls and women in the sex trade, 3 even as it elucidates how varied and numerous those factors are, making it rather difficult, if not impossible, to develop a blueprint so exhaustive that it would contain all such factors.
