Yes, and they drink expensive wine. You're trying to paint a rosy picture, here, TA, but the ground level reality is not so pretty. You ever seen a book of prostitution charge mugshots? There's your reality. Drug addicted people you wouldn't give the time of day to, let alone your penis.
You are doing the EXACT same by trying to paint a dismal picture which is entirely inaccurate. I have read Heidi Fleiss`s book and a few others regarding this subject and I can tell you, there are ALOT of wealthy women in the business.
Just examine the amount of money a prostitute makes in Vegas.
Even if they DID NOT make the kind of money they do, why criminalize it? IT is a completely personal choice.
Like drugs. IF they made Heroin legal today, would you or I all of a sudden want to inject Heroin? I wouldn`t. And I assume neither would you.
