If you're interested...

Broadsheet at Salon.com has been one of my favorite daily reads for a while - short, bloggy articles about women's issues in the news, whatever they may be.  One of those articles pointed me today to Letters from Johns, and its companion site Letters from Working Girls.

I've been reading some of the letters from Johns, and they are pretty fascinating.

what do you think about the letters from working girls?

I thought the letters from working girls were disproportionately from people who had chosen to work as prostitutes, or who only flirted with it. Not women who were desperate, or frightened, or addicted to drugs, etc.

I thought the letters from johns were a lot more interesting.

Aren't you making an assumption about the types of girls that go into prostitution? Why would you assume that "women who were desperate, or frightened, or addicted to drugs, etc." would make up a substantial portion of hookers?

Because there's ample proof that this is the case.
