• forced prostitution (which can include religious prostitution)
• single-owner sexual slavery
• slavery for primarily non-sexual purposes where sex is common or permissible

In general, the nature of slavery means that the slave is de facto available for sex, and ordinary social conventions and legal protections that would otherwise constrain an owner's actions are not effective. Female slaves are at highest risk of sexual abuse and sexual slavery.

The term "consensual sexual slavery" (meaning see for example BDSM and total power exchange) has occasionally been used, but should not be confused with true slavery. The term refers to a sexual role play between someone in an assumed position of power (e.g. dominant) and someone in a supposed position of servitude (e.g. submissive).
