They are also typically sexual abuse victims ( a very high percentage of lesbians are in general ) who learned how to entice men rather than love them. Strippers also fit this description in a very high percentage of cases. This is probably reason #1 (out of many) why the thought of taking part in this sort of thing sickens me.

On the other hand women in other parts of the world are more likely to become prostitutes for purely economic reasons. In many cultures prostitution is more acceptable for both parties. Even in the west there is a lot to be said for regulation and legalization, as prohibition tends to be worse than what is prohibited in many cases. As with a lot of drugs I think the best we can do is legalize it, regulate it, and try to make it as rare as possible.

The way I see it is that the trade exists and its not just going to disappear. So I say regulate it so that law enforcement can have a look at who is involved and end the pimping and slavery aspect of it. The customers should love to have safe and secure locations so a regulated trade should be safer for everyone. Those that want to molest children or to abuse women won't get it from a regulated system so they will have to turn to the black market that would almost certainly still exist. But it would be a smaller market and law enforcement could be more targetted (probably with stiffer penalties) against the child rapers and the beaters and abusers. You could get people more up in arms about hunting down the pimps etc i this scenario.
meanwhile the regulated providers and customers could be in an environment where there is some oversight, where people are safer and where counselling and support for those that want to get out are readily available ( a lot easier for a reluctant girl to give up the trade if no pimps involved). Government could get some more of the revenue through taxes and licencing fees
