Poverty, lack of opportunity and “rags to riches” myths and propaganda are among the key factors pushing young girls from around the world into the “adult-industry”

    Curious what propoganda you mean.

    I do think a lot of girls expect 10-20k a month and are disappointed that's nearly impossible to hit.

    Western Societies Capitalist propaganda promote the idea of the the myth of achieving upward social/economic mobility through one's own merits regardless of one's social position, this is not widely attainable in capitalist societies because of inherent contradictions.

    Everyone knows that the wealthy 1% didn’t earn their wealth by working hard and being honest, the numbers don’t add up and math doesn’t lie.

    Wealth disparity and limited class mobility remain widespread, regardless of individual work ethic.

    Wealth disparity has even increased because the "myth" of meritocracy has been so effectively promoted and defended by the political and private elite through the media, education, corporate culture, and elsewhere.

    ^ what the hell is wrong with you? You repeat other peoples stuff and you expect credibility off of it? Why not go and do something to earn credibility, like speak out against middle class neighborhoods that don't want efficiency housing or something??????

    I could believe a cut and paste clown; Ludwig who was a failure or look at my brother who went from 5 people in 890 sq ft in the projects to 4,800 sq ft on the water in Palm Beach, if I need to know about the American dream.

    Women are not all the same. The ways they are different that are relevant to this include:
    1. How comfortable are they engaging in sexual behaviors with strangers they are not attracted to.
    2. How well they can cope with the many customers of commercial sex with malignant behaviors.
    3. How well can the cope with likely demeaning treatment and attitudes from family, current friends, and a large portion of society.

    The poverty motivation is not that straight forward. In the US, if you can only get get by by sharing a one bedroom apartment with a friend or relative, you're considered very poor. In other countries, many people would envy you if you live in a place without a dirt floor. I think maybe the clear poverty motivator is when women do sex work so their kids can go to a school where they won't be bullied and will actually learn enough to be employable as adults. Also, minor runaways who can't legally get even a survival job.

    Not really seeing the "myths" thing. That would only apply to sex workers with pimps, who force them to keep doing it even if they are disappointed with what they get out of it.

    Definitely, if women like expensive things, that's a big motivator to become a sex worker, if you don't have the money for med school or anything.

    The Horatio Alger myth is alive and well in America. It is used to justify the worst sorts of economic exploitation, and the sex biz is really the least of this.

    @ twentyfive, exactly right! Immigrants come into our great country and become wealthy, while leaches like skibum609 expect government hand outs and blame others like SJG for their deficiencies.

    The fact that many suffer to provide me with a good life, just makes it better. Low lifes get shitty jobs, like driving a truck, I take advantage of that. Winner, winner, chicken dinner.

    Funny how boomers taste buds are guided by taste. They eat garbage food as long as it is cheap and make believe it is good. Example, look at the price of steak vs chicken.
