I remember an exited prostitute (who'd been groomed into prostitution in her early teens) once saying on here "our pimps didn't have to do much grooming; society had already done most of it for them."
(NB prostitute was her chosen term for herself, before any of the pimp lobby get the bat signal and descend on the thread to say it's the wrong word. She believed strongly in describing the reality of what she'd been put through, not dressing it up in euphemisms.)
I also remember another prostitute (still working) on one of the threads on here that pops up occasionally where a woman on benefits will start a thread saying "talk to me about escorting, I need the money". Her advice was "Can you imagine going into the local slightly dodgy pub (not the one with families having Sunday lunch together, the one that caters mainly to blokes) and giving every single man in that pub a BJ? Not just Richard Gere in pretty woman, but the bloke with BO, the angry bloke, the alcoholic, the bloke old enough to be your granddad, the bloke with the beer belly so big you have to lift it out the way to find his dick..."
That's the sort of thing your teens should be thinking about. As well as why the punters are almost all men, and in the rare cases where women are punters, there's a massive and obvious imbalance in power (wealthy white tourists in the Caribbean). And even where the prostitutes are male, their punters are still almost always male.
And why prostitutes have something like 20 times the chance of being murdered as women in the population at large. And why it's a specific group of men they're at risk of being murdered by - their own customers.
And why in countries like Germany where prostitution is fully legalised, far from providing the much needed health care insurance and national insurance, what's happened is that the women are treated as "independent contractors" hiring space in mega brothels, where they have to service up to 6 men before they even break even on the room hire. And how the normalization of prostitution has driven trafficking rates sky high (not enough German women want to spend their time on their knees giving BJs to the pub customers). And how the flooding of the market has driven the price of street prostitution down to 5 euros for a BJ.
