A Sexually Oriented Business is a business that provides adult entertainment by appealing to the sexual interests of its customers.
Some operate as stores who sell books or videos, while others operate as night clubs that provide live entertainment.
Where legal, the night clubs may sell alcoholic beverages and food.
Such businesses are sometimes considered exploitative because they tend to take advantage of their hired entertainment by using their sex appeal to increase the state of sexual arousal of its customers who, in turn, tend to spend more money as a result.
An increasing number of such business are becoming owned by the entertainers themselves as they seek to remove the exploitative stigma associated with them.
