No Sex worker you meet will tell you they exist in the trade due to gluttony for sex or just for satisfaction... So why exactly do we have so many sex workers if the trade is not for pleasure or personal satisfaction.
The reason is in full glare... These people are in the trade because they need the money that comes from it.
So if there were jobs and perhaps encouraging environments and infrastructure for growth for these ladies, they would not be in a trade that takes away their dignity, their safety and sense of self...
I guess you are right we have to see if we have a sex worker here on hive to give the answer
