We live in a land where sex is equated with “the worst thing any two people can ever do and must be hidden at all times for the sake of the children,” while violence is promoted in movies that even a kid can see. Thus it will come as no surprise to you that in most parts of the country (with minor exceptions for eight counties in Nevada), anyone paying for sex or anyone receiving money for sex are considered horrible criminals who must pay with fines and jail time and be shamed by the public.
We are not a terribly enlightened people on some topics.
