The Career of a Sex Worker - Is Sex Work a Career? – A Psychology Course Section in Human Sexuality

In this lecture we will review The Career of a Sex Worker.
Two (2) General Explanations: 1) Negative experiences in childhood and adolescence; and 2) Factors in the environment at point of entry into sex work.

Childhood experience variables included experiencing physical and sexual abuse and living in a foster home. Influences in emerging adulthood included fewer years of education and indicators of economic need (Hyde & Delamater, 2017).

Some women are motivated by a desire for money, material goods, and an exciting lifestyle. For some women, prostitution can be a means of upward economic mobility. Other women enter out of economic necessity, in order to survive.

Violence is a major hazard associated with being a prostitute: 81% of women who work outdoors, and 48% of women who work indoors, reported being kicked, slapped or punched by a client. The worst risk is being murdered.

I am open to additional lecture title suggestions… so if you have a topic in mind, send me your request.
