I can see where you're coming from, Lateralus! Maybe the separation shouldn't be between sex work and sex trafficking, but instead between choosing and not choosing.

Those who choose to be sex workers (and this probably applies majorly to the Western World), may feel the most empowered. And while their experiences cannot be compared to those who are forced, they can be compared to those who choose to be sex workers because of a lack of an income or a decent job.

The job market, even here, is tough. And I think that in many cases, being a sex worker both brings in more money and feels less degrading than, for example, being a cleaning lady for a wealthy family in NYC.
