One thing I want to note before I answer questions is that my view is biased. I suggest that people always remain skeptical, because my experience and outlook is not necessarily extended to the views of all prostitutes or escorts.
From my observations, women who become prostitutes were placed in a situation where they needed money, and perhaps fast money. Most escorts originate from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. However, a new minority of high-class prostitutes are coming from stable-income families.
Many women I have encountered in the sex industry have been neglected in some form. When I meet with another prostitute, I like to ask about her origins. Most often, I hear stories from women who were hurt by men.
For instance, some women were sexually abused, which made them very wary about trusting men or others. It is ironic that such women, despite their mistrust in men, end up selling themselves to men. The foundation of family stability was absent for them, which left them alone to discovered how to survive.
Society can be quite cruel to lost souls, or those without any familial support. Often lost souls are exploited by others. I had a poor sense of direction, so I fell easily into things that came my way. As mentioned in my blog, I came from a middle-class family. It would seem that I had no valid reason to become a prostitute. However, my family separated in my teens, and as a result my Mother, siblings and I became relatively poor. Because I had previously lived in relative luxury, being poor was not an easy transition.
