This. I had a friend who got herself through a medicine degree in the UK via prostitution. Her parents' income was too high to get a grant and good loan but they couldn't help her because of the chains of debt. She told them she was working in Dominos branch. She's a surgical reg now, happily married for over 10 years with two children so did ok out of it and wasn't harmed in any way and says she quite enjoyed it.

That's a pretty rare story though. It could have very easily ended up with her either dead or pushed to use drugs. Think of her as the lucky exception in a long long string of girls that tried the same thing and that ended up being eaten by 'the life'. I have not one but two nieces that ended up like that and where once they were bright and healthy girls they are now shadows.

  I think it depends how and who markets you. If you're not in control of it, then it's not going to end well.

  sigh It COULD have ended up with her dead or pushed to use drugs. It COULD also have ended up with her as the President of the World and the first person on Pluto. It COULD also have ended up with her turning into Jesus and killing people left and right. But it didn't. What happened: the reality (which you seem so very interested in avoiding) is that she ended up with a job, house and family. Rather than thinking of her as the lucky exception, why not think of her as an example of a prositute that got herself a job, house and family, and your two nieces as examples of prositutes that got fucked up? Isn't that a far more objective, less emotionally-based statement than the one you made?

Does her husband know about it? Specially the part "(...)and says she quite enjoyed it." ? "My wife was a prostitute and she quite enjoyed it! I'm so proud of her. She is a great example to my children." The fact that she ended up as a doctor is enough to launder this situation? "The ends justify the means" in this situation? WTF!

  Yes he does. No problems at all. This isn't the US - there is a different attitude to it all over here in Europe.

  Wouldn't you enjoy having sex and getting paid a good wage for it? I really don't understand why casual consensual sex is seen as something immoral or shameful.
