Kinkly explains Pimp

Working as a pimp – as well as a prostitute, for that matter – is bound by different legal guidelines depending on location. For the most part, prostitution is still illegal and a pimp facilitates this illegal trade. Likewise, many view the pimp-prostitute relationship as problematic. A pimp may exercise abuse and possessiveness over prostitutes under his wing. He may do his “job” through techniques such as rape, physical violence, manipulation, and intimidation. The legal status of prostitution deters the reporting of abusive pimps.
