Abstract
La relación entre prostitución y sexismo presenta importantes implicaciones que aún no han sido abordadas de manera sistemática. Por ello, el presente trabajo consiste en una revisión sistemática de la relación entre prostitución y sexismo de estudios publicados entre 2020 y 2025 en las bases de datos PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science y PsycINFO, siguiendo la Declaración PRISMA 2020. Se seleccionaron 28 artículos que evidencian que los estereotipos y roles de género tradicionales persisten en el entramado prostitucional, donde se concibe al hombre como proveedor, con una sexualidad promiscua e imparable y con derecho ilimitado al acceso sexual; mientras que a la mujer se le asocia con la disponibilidad sexual completa, la complacencia y la hiperfeminidad. También se identifican patrones conductuales discriminativos de género como el uso de violencia en las prácticas de la prostitución. Se expone que el sexismo actúa como base estructural del sistema prostitucional, puesto que el consumo se realiza en muchas ocasiones a fin de reafirmar la masculinidad. Asimismo, determinadas actitudes sexistas se presentan como factores de riesgo para el ejercicio de la prostitución. Se concluye que la prostitución no puede entenderse al margen del sexismo ni del sistema de género que la produce y sostiene.
The relationship between prostitution and sexism has significant implications that have yet to be systematically addressed. Therefore, this work consists of a system- atic review of the relationship between prostitution and sexism in studies published be- tween 2020 and 2025 in the PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science and PsycINFO databases, following the PRISMA 2020 Statement. A total of 28 articles were selected, revealing that traditional gender stereotypes and roles persist within the prostitution framework. Men are portrayed as providers, with promiscuous and uncontrollable sexuality and an unlimited right to sexual access, while women are associated with complete sexual availability, compliance, and hyperfemininity. Gender-discriminatory behavioral pat- terns, such as the use of violence in prostitution practices, were also identified. The find- ings show that sexism operates as a structural foundation of the prostitution system, as consumption often occurs to reaffirm masculinity. Furthermore, certain sexist attitudes appear to be risk factors for the exercise of prostitution. It is concluded that prostitution cannot be understood apart from sexism or the gender system that produces and sus- tains it.
