You forgot the desperately poor women willing to sell themselves to men so that they can care for their families.
It's the worlds oldest profession and these ladies can make more than engineers in their country. I don't believe calling them desperately poor is fair.
I'm not talking about the prostitutes. I am talking about the younger Filipino women who get married to older American men so they have money for their family.
I don't think reality is that black and white. I doubt the vast majority of ladies working in the red-light districts even consider themselves "prostitutes." Many are waitresses, bar girls, and masseuses. Technically, prostitution is illegal in Thailand. If the relationship you describe is truly just a business transaction, it seems to be in the same venn-diagram circle as "prostitution."
Also ladyboys
aiaiaiaiaiai!
