There are some women out there that grew up in this life style. Though there are MANY avenues to take to get out of this kind of life style, this is all they know.
I know some females (from back in the day of high school) that have been involved with a "pimp" and have been a "hoe" and what not. To them it's their family, their "hood".
Talking with them, they'll have you thinking that it is the most wonderful "profession" in the world, that what the media protrays is not true. There's more to it then just selling your self for $$
but that is what they know to be true.
It's a profession, not one that most of us would aspire to be part of, but it's still out there.
