Anthony had posed the question, "Had anyone talked to a Sex Worker?" I have interviewed Sex Workers-Escorts, Rentboys, Hustlers, Strippers, Hookers, Sexual Massage Artists, and people who trade sex for all sorts of goods & services.
There are obviously criminal aspects and the horrors of human trafficking plus the onerous and disgusting creeps who abuse and prostitute minors. In fact, right now in the United States, there is a focusing of efforts by community activists and U. S. Law Enforcement agencies to crack down on Human Trafficking that has been an on-going problem with the Internet site, Craig's List.
Aside from that, there are the workers, who inhabit this world, and if you interview them, you will find that there are a myriad of reasons that they engage in this practise/profession. A good deal of the time, the primary reason is simple economics, they need the money. But a large percentage perform this work because they enjoy it. In fact, they enjoy the satisfaction it brings to their clients and to themselves.
Then too, there are those who engage in the sex work trade because they are lonely and are unable to feel loved. Then, there are those who are brazen and exploitative in personality by exhibiting themselves and offering their bodies for rent.
As you can see, there are no clear cut reasons that tidily describe why one would or does engage in the trade. At best, the reasons can be murky.
