I just wanted to add... I can't or won't point my finger at a prostitute and put them down. I would never judge or degrade them either. Prostitutes are people.. People with the very same feelings as those who aren't prostitutes..
That's how I feel. Women are detested if they're in this business, when, according to my reading, documentaries and other information I've gotten, most women don't choose prostitution; more often than not, a pimp meets a runaway teen (who may have it worse at home, and looking for support--then the pimp makes them feel loved, but turns them on the streets once she's hooked), and those grown women who are prostitutes often started out as those teens.

I read a book of prostitutes' experiences...I think it was called SEX WORK, but it's been a while since I read it. Most of the stories were not "I'm glad to be a prostitute!" stories.
