How it's used
This term is formal and clinical, often appearing in news reports or legal contexts rather than in casual conversation. In everyday speech, people prefer using the verb 幫襯 followed by terms like 企街 or 鳳姐 to describe the act. Using this term in a social setting can sound overly detached or even judgmental due to its formal nature.
Examples
He visits prostitutes all the time, he is really not self-disciplined.
