And second, thank you for bringing that up because it had completely slipped my mind despite the fact that you are in fact totally right. At the end of the day no matter how you spin it Society is going to find a way to shame the title placed on the occupation because Society as a whole, though loving to promote sex and sexual conduct, has a strange fascination to beat down and bash any and everything that actually takes it a step further and indulges in it at any degree.
We have a really weird relationship with sex. On paper, we like to pretend that we're really open-minded and there's nothing wrong with sex (I mean, if you leave aside the whackjobs on Facebook who you are somehow related to and are probably wearing tinfoil hats as we speak). But in practice, it seems like American society is generally really weirded out by the idea of total strangers having sex or people making money off of it. And, of course, there's the fear factor - you hear the stories about the girls who are beaten by their pimps, the girls who are murdered by serial killers, the strippers who end up with stalkers or who lose custody of their kids because they strip, etc.
There's also the contingent of, "DEAR GOD THINK OF THE CHILDREN" that show up every few years, either about children being trafficked or video games - pick your poison, the kids are being corrupted.
Some cities are just now coming to grips with how to treat underaged children (I said girls, but really, it's both boys and girls) who have been trafficked into prostitution, rather than calling them prostitutes (which implies the ability to consent and actual consent) and taking them to jail. We are messed up in the head, no lie.
