[QUOTE=FLHawk;2267198]Were you planning to pay her the same hourly rate to clean as to screw? I think many (but hardly all) would choose to clean if they could make the same about of money cleaning houses as they could screwing. But how many house cleaners can make several thousand baht a day cleaning? They can't, so they hook.[/QUOTE]You have missed the argument. You stated they know no other way to survive. I said that is not true. I have friends that work in laundries, work in restaurants, work in hotels, and they are all surviving just fine.
Now you change the point and say well they can make more as hookers. Well I can make more as a drug dealer, but that is not to say it is the only way I know to survive.
After they are finished being hookers, they will go on to another way to survive such as pushing a food cart. So no, being a hooker is not the only way they know or the only thing they can do to survive (keeping with the original argument).
P. S. All the hookers in Pattaya are NOT out making thousands of baht per day. Only a small fraction actually does that. So it is not about the amount that they could POSSIBLY make as a hooker. I was guaranteeing money to be made by coming to clean. She decided to hold out for possible money that she could get for fucking. Why not do both? If straits are that dire then you would think one would get money from any nook and cranny that they could, not saying fucking is the only way I choose to get money.
