I think it completely depends on what kind of prostitutes we’re talking about here. If you’re specifically talking about the kind that literally walk the streets, then no, I don’t believe for a second that any one of them like it. I could be wrong, of course, but I’ve studied it somewhat and the statistics and personal accounts from prostitutes does not equate to “I enjoy my job”. A lot of them are runaways, a lot of them are addicted to drugs, and most of them were sexually abused as children or young teens. Most of them are controlled by pimps, which leads to their own money being taken away and them being physically and mentally abused.
Now, if you’re talking about the kind of prostitutes who get jobs somewhere like Nevada, or countries where similar kind of “houses” are legal, then I think the statistics change somewhat and you’ll definitely find a higher number of women who actually enjoy their jobs. Most of them aren’t doing it to support a drug habit, they don’t have to worry about AIDS or STDs, they have no one taking their money – except the establishment they work for, and even then, it’s not nearly as much as a pimp would take. That said, a lot of the women who choose that kind of profession also still have a history of sexual abuse. That doesn’t automatically mean they chose the job because of issues that may or may not be directly related to the abuse, but it does raise the question. Porn stars almost always have a history of sexual abuse, too.
Anyway, that’s my two cents. Generally, nothing is black and white.
