No, but I'm also not going to pretend I find it to be a respectable job. Like I'm not gonna lecture anyone but if it was a family member considering it I would stop them. It's their life but I'm telling you I would do everything in my power to stop them.
I used to do quite a bit of work with outreach programs, and the majority of them I've met have seen no other options left for themselves. Many come from abusive situations, and have been so degraded by those they loved that they can't believe they deserve better.
There are certainly some for whom this doesn't apply - I met one young lady who considered herself a mistress of sorts versus and prostitute, but who essentially was using a couple of weekends a month to go away with a very wealthy older man, and the 'gifts' he gave her were paying her college tuition. She was not the norm though.
would you ever degrade a prostitute as a person?
