re: "lacking in choice", I think there is a big difference between high-end and low-end sex-workers. And perhaps also between the developed and undeveloped countries. Think human trafficking. Also I must confess to a personal bias: I really do look down upon sex workers - strippers and escorts and I sure as hell wouldn't want anyone close to me to be in that industry. Just as I wouldn't want someone close to make a living cleaning toilets for other people. Ideally, I wouldn't want *anyone* in those occupations. If something is worth doing, it is worth doing for free. > But our fireman-in-chief sez no more. So I'll stop. That's a real shame because it is an interesting and important subject.
