(5,763 posts)Prostitutes have blogs now. It's easy to check on what he says against the accounts that they give. And no, I don't think they would be able to lie every day in their blogs.
His suggesting that they don't do it for money was just boneheaded, but he acknowledged he made a mistake in saying that.
From what I've seen, there are two kinds of people in sex work. That is those who have no moral objection or queasiness about casual sex to begin with, and even enjoy sex so much that getting paid for it was the next logical step. Think about it. If casual sex doesn't bother a person in any way, why wouldn't the do it for money? It's a no brainer.
The second kind are addicts. They were addicts before they got into the sex trade, or were well on their way, and they needed prostitution to support their habit. They get into it regardless of their moral objections, regardless of their inhibitions. These people should definitely not be in the sex trade.
What they both have in common is, they don't work for free. Oh, they might have friends they have sex with, but regarding guys meet in the same night and have sex with regardless of the chemistry? No. Never. And they keep friends (and family) and clients in separate emotional categories.
