US teens often forced to trade sex work for food, says Urban Institute report:
Many prefer to rationalise what they are doing as dating of sorts. A boy in rural North Carolina said: “When you’re selling your body, it’s more in disguise. Like if I had sex with you, you have to buy me dinner tonight … that’s how girls deal with the struggle … That’s better than taking money because if they take money, they will be labeled a prostitute.”
Yep. When I tell people that they know at least one sex worker, I'm generally not including this scenario, but it's a place that that conversation has gone. Often.
Looks like this is a press release promoting Urban Institute: Impossible Choices.
