Re: Students are turning to sex work for extra money
#2This has been going on for a while. At the dorm I lived at in Austin back in 2015 for a 1 year masters (more like a co-op for older students), every woman there was on the website Seeking Arrangement (https://seeking.com). This emerged after someone, more of a joke at first, took a poll on this at a house meeting (weekly governance thing).
It’s enormously tempting. Every freshman girl knows at UT that if she wants, there is a guy waiting to give her between $1,500 - $3,000 a month.
It’s spread into high schools now, usually either because teachers are found to be on the app or a rumor spreads through the school about a girl being on there.
It made The Daily Texan, the student newspaper of UT, a few months ago: http://dailytexanonline.com/2018/09/11/college-sugar-babies-...

#3They blame this on higher student expenses yet clearly only women are able to get money from sex so how are the men able to survive? Why not just be honest? Women are selling their bodies not because they need to but because they want to.

> clearly only women are able to get money from sex
While the opportunities are greater for women, men also get paid for sex (predominantly, though not exclusively, by other men.)

>so how are the men able to survive?
Maybe they(equivalently poor men) are not and therefore choose not to study?
Men do study at a lower rate after all

There were major media stories about it in high schools...in the (early, IIRC) 00s. It's not somewhere it's spread since 2015.

#7Lol, so someone's 'learning difficulties' prevent her from getting and holding onto a simplistic part-time work, 'forcing' her to do prostitution, but does not prevent doing full time education? Something is wrong there.

Obvious interpretation: her learning difficulties required her to spend all her waking time studying just to pass, and the part-time work made that impossible.

>Women are selling their bodies not because they need to but because they want to.
How about "because they need to AND can" (whereas the men might also need to, but cannot, there's not as much of a market).
