Early Work Release

A patron of a bar in Asia meets a girl employed by that bar. They spend some time in conversation, and the patron asks the girl if she would like to go out on a date. However, since the girl is still at work, she is obliged not to leave unless the patron (or herself) is willing to pay for her Early Work Release (EWR).

While this may seem similar to prostitution, the subtle difference is that sex is not guaranteed. Instead, it is considered as two adults going on a date. This can not be considered prostitution because the patron is not paying for sex, only for the early release from work.

The bar expects to be paid for early work release because if the girl stays at the bar, the bar would make money from other patrons buying her drinks and other sources. If the girl is not there, some other customers may come in looking for her, and not find her there, may leave. The patron is not guaranteed that sex will occur, however, what happens between two consenting adults is their own business.
