Considering that it is the world's oldest profession, it seems unrealistic to stamp it out with law. Prostitution is often a means for women (and men) who have lost everything, often due to a drug addiction. If we could improve the drug problem, there would be fewer prostitutes. When I lived in Tampa, the prostitutes had their own 7-page section in the yellow book and one in the newspaper. Of course, they are called "escorts" and that makes it ok. Occasionally, there would be a sting op at a massage parlor, but mostly the cops just arrested street-walkers. These women are anything but sexy - body odor, missing teeth, lice, and usually a crack habit. For these women, the prostitution is a side effect of drug addiction. The rarity among prostitutes is the "high-class" hooker. Here is what is supposed to be a blog of one such woman. nyhotties.com Her addiction is not to drugs, but to the money - designer clothes, material items, and not having to have a 9 to 5 job. Still, addiction fuels the prostitution. She says it's like an acting job, convincing these businessmen that they turn her on. She also attributes her sex and power issues to her father cheating on her mother and how much it hurt her as a girl. Of course, she now has plenty of married clients and may be wrecking other marriages which might affect other little girls just like her. But she gets upset and deletes the blog comments when anyone makes this point.
