>>Few's personal background is, tragically, typical for a woman in the sex industry: incest, child abuse, runaway (at age 13), high-school dropout, domestic violence, rape, and stripping — all before she entered prostitution.
I think that with the new permissiveness of society, this common profile will change.
It's already acceptable for people to engage in amateur porn. Young women are having sex with both men an women -- and it's promoted as being "cool".
It's not hard for many of these women, who don't fit the typical mold, to make the leap from free sex to paid sex -- especially while they work their way through college.
And if a woman is beautiful, the money is severly tempting. Some [beautiful] escorts make $30,000 per month having sex with as little as 20 johns. Many quit for periods of time, try to go straight, but when money get's tight they jump right back into it. They simply cannot earn the same amount of money any other way.
I think that in five years, the majority of [non street walking] prostitutes will simply be women who hold the idea that it's all simply business. (Note, I'm not talking about druggie street walkers, I'm talking your "higher end" prostitute -- paid escorts/amateur porn starts).
Amateur sex starts with webcams at home and trips to "Mardi Gras" type celebrations. "Girls gone wild" is considered "acceptable" by the mainstream media now.
How many reality shows have shots of contestants giving a lap dance (clothed) to one another?
