Hi fins! Sadly, many prostitutes have gotten into the business for just this reason, though I am much more apt to agree with you. Often women entering the sex trades think that they will have the power, the money, the control and in more cases than you might think, they do.

Another lifetime ago I was asked to manage a strip club to get the drugs out before the city closed it down. I did. Many of the girls who worked for the club got involved in prostitution. I didn't stop caring about them when they left and I usually followed their progress, or rather their decline. Some of the girls would come back looking to give it up, but not as many as I might have hoped. Too, homeless and alone, prostitution was my wifes only means of support beginning at fourteen years old. This paragraph was just my way of assuring you that I'm met more than a couple upon which I base my opinions, without leaving you with no explanation other than I was a customer or a pimp.

Prostitution has a similar allure like drugs. At first the people think they are in control and it enhances their lives, giving them confidence, money, power etc. Most people don't start doing drugs believing that it takes more than it gives - but it does. Some of us might not be able to understand why some people would start to take meth or crack - and surely the people taking it don't do so thinking, "Well this will destroy my life - lets do this."...same thing with prostitution. I've never seen a girl come out of a choice of prostitution better than she went in but alot of them, I'd even say the vast majority of them, think it will when they start.
Thanks for this!
