Is Prostitution easy money?

Of course, there are risks involved, and I DEFINITELY don’t suggest doing it. I come from South Africa, and if you’ve heard of HIV or AIDS, you’ve probably heard of us. That sounds REALLY bad, and it’s a generalisation about our country, but don’t worry, there are a few generalisations we have about YOUR country. EVEN if you’re not from the USA. 😉

But, regarding prostitution and easy money, there’s a post entitled “Why do prostitutes make so much money?” which speaks about an analysis of prostitution. But the writer definitely has his head on his shoulders when he comments:

The earnings from prostitution is determined by supply and demand, just like everything else. Because demand for prostitution services is high relative to supply, prostitutes make pretty good money.

Why is supply so low? It ought to be pretty easy to think of reasons for why there aren’t more prostitutes.

(1) The stigma of the profession–and this is really a big one.

(2) Risk of catching disease.

Prostitution definitely doesn’t sound like Easy Money to me. Does that mean my dreams of being a Gigolo are over?
