Prostitution and other erotica related activities have been documented since the medieval times in Switzerland.
During the medieval times, the local community highly tolerated this industry. Although highly tolerated, the sex industry in Switzerland was running illegally until After receiving the legal stamp of approval in , the industry became legal though regulated. With the legalization, licensed brothels started coming up in major towns of the country Zurich being on the forefront. The players in this industry started advertising their services in major newspapers in the country.
Prostitution is legal, and so are brothels. The Swiss criminal code puts strict boundaries on their activities: it is forbidden to induce somebody into prostitution, to restrict the freedom of a prostitute by supervising him or her in the course of his or her activities or by exercising control over the location, time, volume or other aspects of his or her work as a prostitute art. Cantons can also edict additional measures.
The prostitution scene changed a lot with the gradual coming into force of the Free Movement of Persons Agreement between Switzerland and the European Union, from on. This agreement allows firms and independant workers from the European Union to work in Switzerland 90 days a year. As a result, a lot of European prostitutes started to come and work in Switzerland for short periods.
This change is easily perceptible in street prostitution. Until the 's, most of the prostitutes were local, and a lot of them stayed in the business very long. You would see faces month after month, year after year, offering their services at the same place. Now, street prostitution is dominated by women who stay in Switzerland just for a while. Some of them come only once, some other come a few months every year.
