Couldn't agree with you more Rono. It is sick. It says a lot about society. But all that aside, what makes me more angry about these kind of things is that the industry is largely unmonitored. It is because women who prostitute themselves dont have the same kind of protection other 9-5 workers have. Prostitution is said to be the world's oldest profession. As long as there are paying customers it is going to exist. We cant get rid of it, but we can and need to try to stop this kind of thing happening. Its mind boggling when you consider how much abuse would be suffered by women (and men) sex workers. So many side issues like morality, drugs and disease.
We may think it terrible to see a man paying $1, but to one who uses such a service, its a bargain. The consumer end is harder to manage than the service end, and the workers are the ones we need to focus on in my view.
