I do believe that, for the greatest part, it is a form of slavery for the majority of people involved in the sex trade. The prostitution of seedy hotel rooms, back alley blowjobs, pimps and drugs is horrible for the victims. Where there is demand there will be supply.

I believe that a small minority of prostitutes ply their trade because it makes them lots of money for little effort. One could say the same for porn stars who have sex, on film, for money. Is Stormy Daniels a victim?

Very few things in this life are black and white, but are various shades of grey.
