I have read lots of stories by sex workers describing their lives. The common thing they all say is do not glamorize the life. It's work that is hard and dangerous at times. I read The Happy Hooker in the 1970s then I saw the movie Pretty Woman in 1991. After that, I met real street walkers because I was a young guy experimenting on the edges of life. What a contrast. Women in the sex trade are viewed at different extremes by everyone including the women themselves. Some, like the radical feminists and the religious right, say it's sexual slavery and demeaning towards women, a reflection of a society where men are dominant and use women to serve their sexual ends with a sense of entitlement.
