I think people need to educate themselves about this b/c the overwhelming majority of prostitutes are not chicks who wait until they are 18 and wake up and want to turn tricks.
We are talking about desperate, impoverished, neglected female and increasingly male children who have in a lot of cases already suffered sexual abuse or are recruited at young ages and cannot escape in their adulthood.
There is no getting around this stuff. To be honest, the hookers aren't the problem. Nor is selling sex. What u do behind closed doors as long as neither party is hurt is your business. If these chicks had control over their bodies and profited from their work it would be fine. The issue is the dangerous Johns and the highly exploitative pimps.
