I have to agree with OP. They, in my experience, seem to be no more or less dishonest, with others or themselves, than other run-of-the-mill people, coworker, employees, friends, etc.
Everybody lives with a belief system that, true or not, serves their purposes and their needs. Christians, salespeople, politicians, all have useful beliefs that allow them to take what they need from the environment (social and otherwise) and other people. Basically, everybody, every single person, believes something that is more useful than true to stay alive and have a meaningful live. I believe it is the stigma of sex workers and what they mean to men and women (and how that respectively threatens each) that turns their particular way of life and belief systems into something amoral. Into something generally perceived by many cultures as dirty and shameful.
And from a whore's perspective, we're the suckers that are fooling ourselves. Maybe you and they are right. Maybe we're all whores and suckers selling ourselves to fill our needs, believing what we need to believe to feel okay with it all. We're all a little bit concerned with "customer service," aren't we? That's culture for you.
Is it normal that sex workers are looked down on?
