Client (prostitution)

Clients of prostitutes or sex workers are sometimes known as johns^{[citation needed]} or tricks in North America and punters in Britain and Ireland. In common parlance among sex workers as well as with others, the act of negotiating and then engaging with a client is referred to as turning a trick.^[1]

Female clients are sometimes called janes,^{[citation needed]} although the vast majority of prostitution clients are male in almost all countries.
