23. Nice insinuations.

"For women whose station in life depends on securing the best marriage outcome possible, sex work represents a flooding of the market. I suppose it is only natural that some women would tend to disparage the paid product as cheap and inferior, to to speak, and to try and maintain the stigma attaching to sex work as much as possible."
