Hookers, even beautiful call girls who look just like the beautiful girl next door, have madams and pimps. The ones you pick up in a bar are under the watchful eye of the bartender, who gets a cut, and the bar owner, who gets a cut. If you go to a cathouse, the madam is standing right there, parading the girls, and watching over them and you to make sure nothing gets out of hand. The ones you pick up on the street have a pimp watching them from the street corner. The ones that the concierge sends up, well, duh. The ones you call from an escort service, double duh. The ones you get when you go on a sex tour to, say, Thailand, triple duh. Which does not mean that the women (and men) are, ipso facto, exploited. They get referrals, they get protection from whackos. And for the cream of the crop, it's almost invisible. All that awkward stuff about money doesn't enter into the encounter. Free agents don't stand much of a chance but of course there are free agents. Only, how would you know for sure what the situation is? Hookers lie. They pretend they like you, they pretend they like what they're doing with you. That's part of the thing. And you pretend to believe them. Makes it nicer. This is something that is as old as time, far older than the written word. Some of our oldest graven images are of dancing girls. You might not see the money but you cannot ignore the fact that the graven images are on edifices of buildings, which means it's an institution. Say, a temple, where the dancing girls made money for the deity. Concubines, well, that may well be another matter entirely. But close encounters of the one night kind, odds are almost 100% that a third party is involved. Only way to avoid that is get it for free.
