What activity is described by promoting prostitution?

Promoting prostitution is specifically defined as operating a prostitution business or house of prostitution. This activity involves organizing, managing, or facilitating the exchange of sexual services for money. It goes beyond the individual acts of soliciting or engaging in sex and focuses on the larger operation that creates a venue for prostitution to occur.

By operating such a business, one is actively involved in the promotion and normalization of prostitution, which is a legal concern in many jurisdictions, including North Dakota. This definition encompasses the full spectrum of activities that support or enable prostitution and is critical for understanding the legal implications tied to promoting these activities.

The other options, while related to sexual activities, do not encapsulate the broader and systemic approach that promoting prostitution entails. They focus on individual actions rather than the organized effort to facilitate sexual commerce.
