When I used to run a sunbed shop, there were a few of the customers that worked in a local brothel. We used to chat. There were those obviously trapped in this situation through awful circumstances who your heart bled for, but there were those that genuinely viewed what they were doing as a service, especially for - as they explained it - the sad 'unfortunate' gentleman who they knew would 'never get any action' if it wasn't for them.

A very dear friend of mine was / is obsessed with chihuahuas and the like. She would go on about how calming animals are and how even in old peoples homes dogs would be brought in to be petted and stroked so as to help induce a feeling of well being to the residence. To me, on certain levels, there seemed to be little difference. I would sometimes worry how the poor animals felt in this 'dog trafficking'.
