I've known several prostitutes who were nice, nonjudgmental people, and I wouldn't want to hurt their feelings, but that's just me.

What?! Alei, don't give me a lesson in ethics. A prostitute is a whore. A whorehouse is a brothel. They are not less than worthy words. Henry Miller called a whore he fell in love with a whore in Tropic of Cancer. If it is good enough for Henry Miller, it is good enough for you and me.

I have not derided people in these any way whatsoever.
