Well, that's one idea that's cheered me up today.
No, it's true. My brother's fiancee is one of those ridiculously good looking people who gets slack-jawed stares wherever she goes. (She's Polish and Native American and has bright green eyes and very dark skin...she's like a prettier version of Lisa Edelstein) And she has the best body I've ever seen in my life. (My brother's this huge doofy obnoxious guy, I don't know how he ended up with her. She told me she likes him because he's smart! Which really made me chuckle. Anyway...)
Just from interacting with them and traveling with them and going on random outings with her, I can seriously say I'm glad I'm not a gorgeous person. I have never seen anyone get treated more like a subhuman piece of human trash than she does, and by people who don't know her in the least, men and women. Eventually she even started dressing really plainly and covering up and it still doesn't work so well for her. But then I can tell she feels pressure to *always* be the best looking person in the room. She's so used to being looked at I think she's always performing being superhot, without even really trying.

From my experience I think these are exactly the people that are expected to use sex workers by anti-sex work peeps. It's more a case of that's even worse for the woman that they are forced to have sex with these people who can't have sex 'normally' and so don't deserve to have it at all. It's from these people that the constant threat of immediate violence comes (when infact they're probably just painfully shy and horny). I think that's how it is viewed at any case.
Women are more likely to be sexually assaulted and/or raped and/or assaulted by their own husbands or boyfriends or friends or relatives than they are anyone else, I'm afraid. But anyway, there's a difference between strippers and hookers, when it comes to clientele. Strippers are less stigmatized than hookers, so it's a social activity that's partaken in by your average businessmen ex-frat boys, and just average guys of all types. The better targets are the ones who really need to go to hookers, though, because they're more likely to be "customers for life"...
