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.

Right, Brody, I would have expected a huge range of reasons for becoming a sex worker. But I would also expect to feel sorry for any of them that didn't frighten me.
And I suppose that I would be baffled by those who enjoy it and who partly do it because of that. I guess I am subject to as much pure (and unjustified) prejudice as anyone else. But I do feel the stories I've read about happy and fulfilled rent boys were unrealistic wishful thinking.
I'm probably as much a product of the circumstances of my upbringing as they are and maybe worse because I ought to know better.
And all I can say is that my prejudices are mostly for loving sex and so better than most religions which are against it. And I think that celibacy is unnatural and makes those that force themselves into that mould into inhuman monsters (those that force themselves against their natures - natural asexuals can be quite human sometimes).
Love,
Anthony

Once while in college I chatted with a female prostitute. The conversation could not have been more pleasant, open, and wonderful. She had her work to do and it was to help pay rent and basically survive up in the town of Eureka, California. She thanked me and was apologetic that she was too busy that evening to fit me into her schedule. I tried to find her again just as a friend but could no longer find her.
What we talked about was chitchat. But for her, it was something to take her mind off her work. And she seemed to like what she did.
