Nothing wrong with it. No different than being a plumber. They both provide a service that some would find nasty.

I wish more people thought like this, escorts are a professional service worker like any other, treat them with the same respect you show your A/C repairmen, electricians, plumbers, etc.

People who hate it are probably jealous or kissing butt. If you tell me its wrong because its "amoral" then having kids out of wedlock should be put in the same catagory: it's nasty.

It is all in people's heads.

There is nothing nasty about about an escort who stays healthy and fit, grooms and cleans herself thoroughly and gets regularly tested for STDs. Upscale escorts (read: not the cheap and nasty ones) do all of these things and more.

They are cleaner than your girlfriend will probably ever be.

Absolutely. They are cleaner because they wanna keep their "business" clean so customers will return. The average one has no such obligations.

I would feel sorry for them, as they just be desperate and not in a good place. Selling your body is not common for a reason. It is dangerous and degrading to both participants.

People will do anything if they are desperate enough.

^ A lot of assumption in that post. Many people do it by choice - not from desperation - and they do not find it degrading. You do. You are projecting your judgements.

Its no more degrading than being an athlete. They both are used for their body and provide a service. If she is a prostitute by choice then shes simply using an ability to makes someones life easier in exchange for money. Just like any other job.

Visit any of the threads asking men whether they would date or marry a stripper or hooker to see whether they are really viewed the same as plumbers and athletes.

Lie by omission. How do you know if she was ever a hooker or stripper unless she tells or gets caught? Besides, guys tend to speak differently when women are around and vice versa. The tend to be politically correct to save face.
