People seem not to get the difference between a profession and a calling - prostitution and whoredom in this case. Hence the confusion.
It's dehumanizing in its own way, but so is much of modern industrial life. You pick your poison. While I would never patronize, I would also not condemn them. I can see how some may believe it is the lesser of evils and respect their choice of how to live their lives. It would be nice to live in a world where such a thing did not exist, but we do not live in that world.
Something has always confused me: why aren't porn stars treated like streetwalkers? If they have some First Amendment exemption from prosecution, why haven't regular prostitutes simply started "be a porn star" movie businesses, filming themselves and their johns "at play" and selling not the sex, but the film?
