I think you believe that prostitution (and I've used this analogy alot here recently since this has been a popular topic since Vitter) is all seedy with a girl whose turning tricks in a Pinto in the Tenderloin area of San Francisco with an overweight/unattractive & mean client...Then she has to give her $$$ to Silky the Pimp & has to hope she doesn't get beaten by him....Does this scenario exist?...Sadly, it probably does...And when it's portrayed in media, this is the only side that's shown...

But there is also a very hign end side to escorting, & I say this w/absolute certainity.....There are girls who are model pretty, adult film stars, etc. who do escort, & they do so by CHOICE, there is no Silky the Pimp controlling them....And likewise, the clients they see do so by choice, no one is exploiting anyone!...I know one girl who travels the world w/clients, recieves expensive gifts, etc., she is having alot of fun, & she has a degree from a good school (not Ivy league but certainly 2nd. teir) , & she enjoys that lifestlye more than the 9-5 routine..
