A friend has hinted I should get my own sexual experience "On the street", but I intuit that this would not work out. I would be the guy that would talk away his allotment. This rural small town has a few streetwalkers. It is a well-known fact that serial killer community finds a lot of their victims this way. Do any of these people get sold by their pimps to killers?
id: 601746 - Text: Some pimps are not like those; they're trying to help the girls? I was shocked you said that, SWU. Do we owe pimps a fair shake or something? I must have missed that memo. No pimp is in it to help the sex workers. There are other ways to do that.
id: 601777 - Text: Whenever I hear people glorifying sex work, I get mad because I know that most sex workers have been forced into this life due to terrible circumstances. To equate the story of this young woman, who's been through hell with a spoiled brat who thinks being a sugar baby is somehow an achievement is appalling.

id: 601798 - Text: @cotheajayne I think even when it's legal it's important to inform girls of what toxic relationships look like because sometimes a toxic boyfriend can convince a girl to go into legal sex work to make money for him. Speaking from experience.
id: 601801 - Text: @cotheajayne I don’t think that’s true actually. Because there will always be certain elements of sex work that have to be illegal (ex: sex with underage kids) and there will always be a market for people who will want that and will pay for it. Besides the fact that even women or men who say they choose to do sex work… do you really think that’s a good lifestyle? That that’s what they dreamt of being as a kid? It’s simply exploitation no matter how you look at it
id: 601803 - Text: As someone who did legal sex work… I just want to add, it nearly psychologically destroyed me. And I never would have done it had I had a support system. I don’t think making it legal necessarily makes it any better.
