I thought about this before hypothetically, and probably homelessness is one of the few things that would push me toward prostitution. I've heard life on the streets is truly awful, loads are alcoholics and drug addicts and there's a chance being beaten and raped if you fall in with the wrong crowd.

So I guess having sex with strangers wouldn't seem as bad confronted with that alternative.

But I think part of my soul would die, and it'd be difficult enough being close to people I don't know, let alone have sex.

I do think you would have to be a certain type of person to really detach yourself - and I totally get the comment about 'losing a bit of your soul'. but again: if it was legalised: that stigma would eventually die out.

Look at how 'promiscious' people are these days compared to even as little as 20/30 years ago (well you can't since you are so young) -but sleeping around and having god knows how many sexual partners before settling down is regarded as 'acceptable' these days by many. I'm sure if it was legalised, controlled - that perceptions would eventually differ and it be regarded as less sleazy that it is currently.
