What are the main reasons for prostitution?

Answer 1

I assume it's obvious the main reason women become prostitutes is for the money. Given that, the secondary reasons vary but sexual curiosity is a major one. Escort or Call Girl prostitutes motivations are usually different than street prostitutes. Street prostitutes often need the money to pay for a drug habit. Escorts are more likely to have a sexual interest.

These comments should be understood in the context that different researchers have different opinions on the reasons women choose prostitution.
