Ask the females in your life what level of remuneration it would take them to work in a knock on the door walk in off the street type brothel in todays world.
Actually I wonder how many posters that post on these type threads actually have female friend they would even be comfortable asking.
I know a woman who was a very very high end escort in the pre AIDS 1976 to '81 era. College grad, family fluid in two languages, schooled in another, party chat conversational in yet another. Miss Middle America runner-up beauty contest type. She and a similar description partner started and ran their own service after a year with an upscale prior customer referral only agency.
I know they banked 1.5 million during their 4 plus years. Their money laundering cover business of escorting entertaining, shopping spree excursions for rich wives in NYC, LA and Palm Beach became an actual business for them that lasted until they retired in their mid late 30s. Of their dozen or so years they spent less than four in bed.
She would not do it today a quick no contemplation. . . Do it today? Not a chance. Not even their way . She reminds me that she had fewer post college sex partners than I had. A few wealthy steady longterm clients that paid a premium to play in a very low traffic area.
