Even in places where it is legal, its still going to be looked down on as the general view is that the prostitute is selling their personal dignity as a human for coin. It's not something to be admired.
Gladiator's were even sex workers, a lot of them were sold by their masters to wealthy merchants and noble families for nights of pleasure after the Gladiator had won over a crowd.
To be real honest, there's no reason to snub sex workers unless you are clinging to antiquated moralities pressed upon people to try to stop infidelity.
So yes because of today's standards they may be looked down on by moral high horsers or people that are very insecure. But I personally have no issues with sex workers. They are people just like me and you, and really aren't hurting anyone.. if anything they're helping out some lonely souls.

So was slavery, shall we venture into those waters?

Porn Stars for example, there's a lot of them that love what they do -love- it. In some circles they even hold celebrity status. Are you telling me you look down on them and you've never watched porn (I'm calling you a liar right now if you try to deny ever having watched any.)
What harm are they causing? I bet you damn well appreciated they made those films at the time you used them.
Playing some character, maybe on Balmung, maybe not.
