My Life as a Call Girl

My Life as a Call Girl

This is a great article that contrasts the idealized, glamorized idea of prostitution with stories of a women who suffered a great deal while selling her body to make ends meet. What we see on TV- from the playboy mansion to the reality show Bunny Ranch- portrays the victims of sex trafficking and prostitution as princesses who are capitalizing on their sexual experiences. The reality for the majority of women involved in these situations in one of despair and immense coercion. Physically and psychologically, women are kept in compliance by their pimps for fear of their life and because of the reality that if they leave they will either be found and beaten or homeless and abused on the street.
