Sinnamon,

Thanks for your reply. The difficulty remains that the pay rate for the vast majority of female sex workers (whether porn or escort services) far exceeds what they could get in other lines of employment, given their typical education levels and skill sets. Specifically, it's pretty clear the majority don't have BAs, or specialized vocational training (e.g. masonry) and certainly not many have advanced degrees (JDs, MDs, etc.). And, by and large, it takes an advanced degree, or huge hours, or specialized trade skills, to make six figures, especially early in one's working life (and many of these porn girls are 18-26, which is very early indeed).

So, granted that greed is pretty widespread in all walks of life, the unsettling thought is that these girls, rather than satisfying that greed for cash the hard way-- i.e. studying hard, going to law, business, med school, or taking the great risks of the entrepreneur, putting in huge hours, etc.--they have taken a shortcut to a high pay rate by doing the unthinkable: selling their bodies. And, for better or worse, many people consider that pretty despicable.

So, what is your response to those who say these sex worker girls are taking the lazy, degenerate way to a high pay rate, rather than putting in the long hard hours that everyone else who wants good money has to put in...
