Here's the problem.  At some point men realize they can make money off of this by selling children, young women, and even older women by controlling their money.  

They can keep them trapped in that lifestyle even if they want out. 

Most women are disconnecting from their bodies or doing drugs just to deal with what they're doing.  That's not ok. 

We also had a house of "Ill repute" in anchorage it was closed for tax evasion.  It was the only safe place for prostitutes that I can remember and the women were screened based on their own desire to work In that business.  If you needed alcohol or drugs to cope you weren't suited to the field. 

Most pimps don't care about that though.  They'll use you whether you can deal or not.
