well i couldnt do it... i think its a matter of mentally switching off and just look on it as a job , i think now your seeing a way to pay off your debts but i think somewhere down the line your going to look at yourself and feel like, maybe it wasnt the best choice you ever made

im not part of the run prostitutes off the street brigade by the way because if thats what they need to do then fair play but i also think if your an intelligent individual you can look past the quick fix to the money problems and get something that in the long term would be something you could look back on and be proud of

I couldnt do it either, I'd feel too bad about myself, but I'm not totally anti prostitution either - only when girls are being exploited, drug abuse and crime are involved.

Its a risky area to go into though. Maybe if you are strong mentally have an awareness and perception of your own psyche, your own strengths and have good independence skills then maybe youd be ok.

Do you really think you could just switch off and walk away from it after when youve made some money? Even if you stopped doing it physically, I think the fact that you used your body in this way will have lingering effects. I just think the majority of girls sustain some emotional damage, even if this is subtle and I think there are always issues here about self esteem and your feelings of self worth.

It can almost be like an addiction beckoning you back every time you need some easy money - thats if you could leave it at all! Also I think there is the physical danger aspect, there are guys that have no respect for prostitutes and can abuse them, physically and mentally.

Give it very careful thought and weigh everything up. Its not to be gone into lightly

I totally agree with Megan. In the end, its always your own decision, and the consequences for you to take. So before you go ahead, do remember that with the money come the dangers of disease, violence and exploitation, as well as emotional and psychological damage in the long run.

yeah but you still got your dignity and self worth intact good on you for turning down what could have been a quick fix, take a part time job when your not in school might take longer to pay off the debt but at the end of the day you will have paid it through hard work which is far more rewarding
