Geez, I was hoping to get here sooner.... just that.... darn life gets in the way sometimes.

radioflyer-- very well said-- "
Survival and pain equals prostitution"...
I think for many young women/girls it is sadly the way they see to survive.
and the culture is all too happy to accept their lost soul and trample all over it.

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.

perhaps this could be the case, in the few places on this planet where it is all legal... I believe there are very few cases where this would be true though.... or else women would be growing up saying how that's what they dream of as their career and many men would be wanting to "covet" such a woman.... I sure don't see much of that happening.
I agree with your comparing prostitution with drug addiction/use....yes, most don't go into thinking that's what they want out of life.....
it's just sad that unlike drug addicts, prostitutes don't seem to get the same compassion, support or understanding to get out of it(women often despise them more than men
) and prostitution is often valued within the confines of the men's locker room, where stories fly about how this guy got some prostitute to do this or that and then they all laugh and give him a "high five"..... seems it's funny to keep a prostitute dehumanized but not so much a drug addict
I wish there would be talk in that same locker room about how some guy got this prostitute a job and how she is now earning a respected living and has her own apartment... and every guy in the locker room gives him a "high five"....
ah... I'm such a dreamer
to treat each and every person like a-- Human.
wish I had time to write more.... got to run now... hope to be back later.
