![]() ![]() Acts perceived as “immoral” (Weitzer, 2020) have sometimes been explained by historical and cultural differences between nations (Kuosmanen, 2011) that have produced polarized legislative approaches (Abel, 2018) and complex debates on how to deal with it at international, European, or state level (Crowhurst et al., 2012 Rodriguez & Gillies, 2018). Prostitution, defined by Collins dictionary as “the act or practice of engaging in sexual intercourse for money,” Footnote 1 is a complex phenomenon to address, given the fact that it is the result of unequal social and gender structures, or a patriarchal culture (Moran & Farley, 2019). This article depicts how the Spanish society positions itself in this policy agenda. ![]() The implications of all kinds that arise around prostitution generate different public perceptions about its existence and practice, with its prohibition being one of the most important issues on the Spanish public agenda in recent months. The data also shows the possible consensus of those surveyed on this issue across different political parties. This paper comes to validate, once again, most of the previous theoretical supported evidences, but not the religious element as a defining variable for being a banning supporter. The second and the third ones demonstrate how women and men share similarities but also underlying differences, showing how women are more inclined than men to the prohibitionist approach. ![]() The first one depicts the prohibitionist’s supporter profile in general terms. The analysis illustrates three types of profile. To do so, we will use our own collected data during 2022 through a prestigious social research company, 40 dB, and by applying advanced statistical techniques-Logit model. The aim of this research is to verify the characteristics of those who are in favor of banning prostitution in Spain and to what extent there are differences between men and women. The debate about prostitution within Spain’s feminist movement has recently, and recurrently, been transferred to the social and political sphere, but without arriving at a clear and shared position. ![]()
